fgha-0926Partner Club Event (FGHA and H4A): The Unspoken Rules of Career Advancement


What separates the professionals who get poached for closed-door opportunities that move them forward in their careers and those who stumble and don't know why? Mastery of the unspoken rules of demonstrating the "Three C's," spotting opportunity, and stepping up without overstepping. In this interactive session, Gorick Ng deconstructs the intentional but invisible work that insiders do and what you can do right now to apply their lessons to your own career and life.
