Strategic Career Management Ascent

In Mountaintop’s Strategic Career Management Ascent, participants will have fun and get to know each other while also gaining powerful, practical strategies for building strong careers at their company. Informed by the adage that “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail,” this Ascent motivates professionals to thoughtfully map out the important next phases of their careers. We employ an interactive presentation style and hands-on exercises to equip each person with tactics for effectively becoming a “go to” person within their office, practice area, and across the company. We also demystify the process of cultivating internal sponsors and advocates. Most importantly, we walk each person through the creation of a personalized plan for strategically managing his or her career.

PERFECT FOR

  • Driven Professionals
  • Emerging Leaders
  • Partners & Executives

Overview

The Strategic Career Management Ascent includes one, live training session, presented in a 60 to 90-minute format, that will incorporate a formal presentation, group discussion, an interactive group exercise, and homework for each participant to complete.
