In person and virtual networking meeting starting 11/7/22

SCROLL DOWN TO THE DESIRED DATE

Monday, 11/07 at 10:30 am, Professional Services Group of Central New Jersey

Hosts, Business Intelligence: How to Tap your Network. In this webinar, Rod Colon will discuss why it is your job to connect with individuals who can truly help because they’re in the same industry. You need to refine the “filtering” of your contacts to make sure you’re picking up intelligence for the industry in which you want to work. Your ultimate goal is to answer two very specific questions: Who does what you do? Who hires people who do what you do? Once you’ve mastered this “precision targeting” technique, your conversation will be: “Where do you see the industry heading? What’s going on? What’s hot? What’s not? What groups should I belong to? This is what I’m hearing; what are you hearing?” Rod Colon is a nationally-recognized diversity and inclusion and human capital executive with over 30 years of experience, both internally as a leader and as a consultant. PSGCNJ has established a pre-registration system for Zoom meetings.

November 10, 2022 at 6:30pm, NJSENG . Our speaker will be Joey Himelfarb. Joey will discuss “Your Bad Attitude is Like a Flat Tire. Change it and see how far you can go”. Please reserve your seat by emailing me at MartyLatman@gmail.com. Include in the email Subject Line – “Reserve My Seat for 11-10-22 NJSENG Meeting”.

Attitude is a collection of your beliefs, feelings, and thoughts about your inner self and the outer world. Consequently, your attitude is in constant flux as a result of the daily changes occurring in and around you. And so, sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down. Sometimes the world is your oyster, other times you want to live on another planet. There are days when you’re on Cloud 9 and then there are days when you want to crawl under a rock.

Regardless of the circumstances though, when it comes to your attitude, positive beats negative every day. Now there’s no guarantee that a positive attitude will get you what you want, but a negative attitude probably won’t.

Join us for a thought-provoking, highly interactive, and entertaining program that will address why and how your attitude impacts your ability to sell yourself in your professional and personal life – a job search, your business, your relationships, or even your daily activities. You will:

  •     Learn why taking responsibility for your attitude is, well, your responsibility. Duh!
  •     Discover how self-fulfilling prophecies hold you down or set you free. (Hint: you become what you think about.)
  •     Tap into ways you can modify your attitude to favor your efforts. Get what you want!

Joey Himelfarb (yes, all his friends call him Joey) has been selling for over 25 years. Whether it’s multi-million dollar computing and telecommunications systems to Fortune 100 companies around the world, or consumer products in a homeowner’s backyard, Joey enjoys helping his clients get from where they are to where they want to be.

Joey’s passion is being on stage and encouraging people to maintain positive mental attitudes. His contention is that we sell every day and being negative serves no function. To that end, and on a regular basis, Joey leads discussions and facilitates seminars designed for job seekers, career changers, small business owners, and people struggling with substance abuse and addiction. Additional audiences include youth groups such as the Girl Scouts and chapters of the YMCA.

Tuesday, November 15th from 7:00pm to 8:45pm It is tempting to think that the Holiday season is one where the Job Search process slows down or even stops.  In actuality, many companies use that Holiday time to make progress in filling jobs.  Work often slows down, giving managers more time to consider open positions they might have.  In addition, they often reflect on the work that must be done in the new year and realize that they must make progress in filling positions to be ready to take on that work. Our next PATH meeting addresses the job search during the holiday season.  It will be led by Dr. Suzane Edgar, formerly with Right Management.  Dr. Edgar will offer some practical tips for continuing your job search during the holidays. It is entitled “Job Search Through the Holiday Season” and will be held on Tuesday, November 15th from 7:00pm to 8:45pm.  Please use the link below to register for the meeting:https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81864810392?pwd=WEhZN0lnL29FVmVTQ2x1dXhpMXBHdz09

November 30, 2022, 1 p.m.-2 p.m. (CST), IEEE-USA Free Livestream Webinar join Dr. Gleb Tsipursky in “How To Solve The Problem of Innovation in Hybrid and Remote Work” 

Solving the problem of innovation in hybrid and remote work is key for tech professionals to seize competitive advantage in the post-pandemic world. Techniques like traditional brainstorming meetings work poorly for hybrid and remote teams. And the lack of hallway conversations impair spontaneous idea generation. That’s why so many leaders want everyone to return to the office. However, research shows that these leaders simply fail to apply best practices for effective user experience to solve the problem of innovation in hybrid and remote work. This presentation will delve into the nuts-and-bolts of two research-based techniques – one for deliberate innovation and one for spontaneous innovation – that tech professionals at forward-looking companies have been using successfully to outpace their competitors. This presentation offers case studies and best practices from these tech professionals that you need to seize an innovation advantage in hybrid and remote work. Learning objectives:

  • Learn about research on best practices for user experience for innovation in hybrid and remote work
  • Identify where you and your team might benefit from adopting these best practices to facilitate both deliberate and spontaneous innovation
  • Assess how your plans for innovation in hybrid and remote work benchmarks to best practices based on behavioral science research and case studies from forward-looking organizations
  • Develop a plan to adapt these best practices to solving the problem of innovation for yourself and your team

The Ramsey Job Search Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking starts from 9 to 9:30am and the meeting starts at 9:30 to 10:30 while virtual.  Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.

Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.

Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.

Please contact Beth Berkenfeld at bberk2@optonline.net or 201-797-4342 if interested in joining the group.
