Upcoming events

    • 22 Feb 2012
    • 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
    • DoubleTree Club Hotel, 7 Hutton Centre Dr., Santa Ana, CA

    Pre-registration is now closed,
    but we welcome walkins.

    What do Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Lady Gaga and Tom Hanks have in common?  Three things: they are passionate, they have tremendous perseverance, and they all dropped out of college.  Successful leaders don't come in any particular shape or form. While leading requires education, succeeding requires courage, conviction, and grit. Failed leaders share this – they lack true and powerful conviction in their ideas, and they are unable to keep going when they are tired, frustrated, bored or disheartened.

    In this session participants will learn:

    • To understand the essential source of conviction and influence for leaders
    • The four key elements for developing true grit in self and others
    • To apply emotional intelligence insights for keeping a team engaged when they are disheartened
    • To clarify why perseverance is a better predictor of success than intelligence

    It’s a new year, time to reflect on the past and prepare for your future. Come join us at the UCI Career Center on Saturday February 11 from 9-10:30 to talk about preparing for your future career.

    2012 is about reinventing your professional life. We all need to take a long hard look at where we are, where we want to be and then strategize about how to get there. The benefits of doing this with a group of people is that it forces you to clearly articulate your goals, it allows you to get ideas, inspiration and support from others and it makes you accountable for making progress toward reaching those goals.

    This month, attendees will share how their career development process is going and we can continue to talk about how to overcome any obstacles they are experiencing. We will also discuss the future direction of the group for the coming year.

    Come join the group and let’s make 2012 the year we reinvent our career.
