Save The Date COMBINED DINNER TUESDAY, December 4th Coaches Night Out Raffle to Be Donated By Razzino Associates On Tuesday evening, December 4th, MIS Network Associates (MNA), IT-Networking, the Coaches are frequently thought of just in the context of transition and the need for assistance to get connected. While help in getting a new position is important, coaches can also be of significant help with our careers, dealing with difficult bosses, subordinates and peers. Coaching can also be of great value in "firing the company", monitoring career progress, and dealing with issues of harassment on the job scene. The coaching panel will include: · Linda Trignano – Trignano Consulting · Bill Belknap -- Bill@billbelknap.com · Rod · John Hadley -- John Hadley Associates The panel will be moderated by Marty Latman – Prestige Corp/ NJFENG. Unedited questions for the panel are included below. We encourage you to post additional relevant questions for the panel. These questions are subject to editing until Friday, November 30th, when the final list will be published electronically to the previous recipients. Please return your comments on the questions to John Sampson at jcsspike@yahoo.com ASAP. The final questions will be available in hard copy at the registration desk the evening of the dinner meeting on December 4th. Again, ad hoc questions will be accepted by the Moderator during the discussion with the panelists and Bill Belknap, in the spirit of balance, will kick off the discussion by telling you several good reasons "why you don't need a coach."
