The Fundamental Equation of Career Advancement

Welcome 2020 with a brand new formula for your career success and happiness!

In this talk, our mentor in The Mentoring Club, Hong Nguyen-Phuong, challenges and inspires emerging leaders to rethink their position and plan on what it takes to make a world of difference in their workplace in 2020 and beyond.

A productive and advancing career is a central component of life in today’s society. Markets are forever more volatile and unpredictable; and employers have long relinquished to individuals to manage their own careers. As with any complex endeavor, today’s professionals can greatly benefit from proven practices.

Hong is going to share the keys to success. Let’s call it, and aptly so, the fundamental equation of career advancement.
