HANDLING CHANGE, TAKING CHARGE, AND BUILDING CONFIDENCE:  WHY HAVING AN EXIT STRATEGY MAKES YOU A BETTER LEADER

In her best selling book, “I Didn’t See It Coming”, Nancy has developed a comprehensive guidebook for executives at every level on how to handle the changing business landscape with smart strategies for managing their career and savvy insights into what is really happening in the world around them.

Nancy learned from first hand experience how difficult it is to be confronted with the unexpected and to be caught off guard. Her personal story is a cautionary tale of why it is important to be in control and to always have a career action plan in place.

One of the basic elements of effectively managing your career is to have an exit strategy, a back up plan, a personal safety net. You need a plan for moving ahead, whether to a new position in your company, into another company or to start planning for your own company.

Nancy believes that, with an exit strategy in place, it is possible to be a truly creative and courageous leader. A leader who is willing to take risks and who manages with assurance and confidence.

With this speech, the audience will learn:

  • How to spot the three red flags of change
  • What are the four pieces of an exit strategy
  • How to leverage your formal and informal networks
  • Why always working on your marketability is critical
  • What risks are worth taking as you move up the ladder.
  • That you should always be ready for that “chance of a lifetime”
