Mark your calendars now – Jean E. Baur, Career Coach & Author will be our featured speaker at the next meeting of The Breakfast Club NJ on Saturday January 8, 2011.

 

This Month's Topic: Why People Get Stuck When Hit with Job Loss

 

"Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. 

Action has magic, grace and power in it."  Goethe

 

 

About the Speaker:  Jean Baur, a Senior Consultant with Lee Hecht Harrison and more than 16 years as a career counselor, will discuss why people often get stuck when experiencing job loss and how to move forward in this complicated and important process. She'll share case studies that illustrate what others have done to succeed, talk about the most frequent obstacles and what you need to have in order to run an effective job search campaign. Lastly she'll give tips for moving forward, whether you're in the first days of transition or have been searching for months. She'll have copies of her newly released book, "Eliminated! Now What? Finding Your Way from Job-Loss Crisis to Career Resilience" and will also give participants copies of some of her key materials. For more information on either Jean's background or her book, please visit www.JeanBaur.com

As the author of numerous career transition articles, Jean Baur has a new book titled, Eliminated! Now What? Finding Your Way from Job-Loss Crisis to Career Resilience, coming out in November of 2010 (JIST Publishing). In this empowering guide, she helps people experiencing job loss understand what to do in the first, mind-numbing days of unemployment, how to put together a strong foundation for job search success, and develop winning strategies to achieve their goals. Full of case studies that reveal the ups and downs of this critical process, Eliminated! Now What? acts as a coach or a good friend guiding you along your journey.

 

Jean is a Senior Consultant with Lee Hecht Harrison, a leading outplacement firm, and has also worked extensively as a writer, coach and corporate trainer. Jean partners with clients of all functions and levels to help them identify and leverage their strengths, develop structure for the search process, create effective implementation plans and identify measurable success factors.
