Professional Development Workshop: Advocating for Yourself, July 16th

Advocating for Yourself, July 16th
NEW Professional Development Workshop from YNPN San Diego

REGISTER HERE: http://ynpnsdadvocatingforyourself.eventbrite.com/

Do you have brilliant ideas you want to share with your Executive Director or Leadership Team but don’t have the nerve to start the dialogue? How do you even start the conversation with your supervisor about a raise or development in your current position? Once you begin the exchange, how do you make sure you are clear and precise about your needs? Whether you’re currently employed, actively searching or determining your next move – it’s obvious we could all use new tips and confidence while advocating for our professional selves.

During our July Professional Development Workshop, you will leave with…

• Confidence in asking for what you want in the workplace
• An ability to clearly communicate your professional needs
• Ideas and tactics on how to persuade change in your organization

All of YNPN San Diego's programs are free to its members, but there is a cost to coordinate these events, bring high-quality programs to the membership, and serve as a reliable and high-quality organization. Your donations will help to ensure that YNPN San Diego can continue to meet these demands. Please consider making a donation online, through our Facebook Cause or at the event. Individuals who donate at the Workshop will be eligible for a gift from our generous in-kind supporters. The recommended donation for this event is $25.

We will also have a drawing for a special gift from YNPN San Diego and one of our partners, so make sure to bring your business card. Those who make a donation will be in the running for a drawing for one of our fantastic gifts. This event is open to everyone, so please spread the word by linking to this blog!

As always, feel free to bring information for the Community Table about your organization, but please pick up your materials following the event or they will be recycled.

YNPN Board Member Feedback

Board Member, Megan Lim, shares feedback about YNPN:

I’ve been in the fortunate position to be hiring a position at work right now. Reading over resumes, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the number of people who list YNPN San Diego on their resume. Particularly impressive are those individuals who are Committee members (automatically indicating a certain level of commitment) and translate their volunteer responsibilities at YNPN into examples they can talk about in an interview regarding projects in which they hold a leadership position or have overcome a challenge.
I know YNPN San Diego Committees are currently recruiting. Check them out on the website. If you do happen to be currently looking for work, substantive volunteer work is a great place to spend some time. You’ll grow your network and develop some new skills you can take to your next interview.
