| Description | The Financial Women's Association of San Francisco---East Bay Group presents Professional Development Series: "Selling Yourself---Your Biggest Asset" You are an experienced professional with education, a senior title, a brand-name firm, or other strong credentials. You have a solid idea of your responsibilities. But...are you clear about your accomplishments? When working with others, were you a participant or were you the driver in achieving the team's goals? Identifying your greatest accomplishments and persuasively communicating those accomplishments is critical to advancing your career. Here's a secret: the "advancers" don't wait for someone else to tap them with the seal of approval. They take the initiative to ensure that their accomplishments are known. When will you need to use these skills? - Exploring a new opportunity or an improved compensation structure within your current company, - Demonstrating the unique value your firm offers to its clients or customers, and - Exploring a new opportunity outside your company. Come to a working session breakfast on Thursday, February 8th at Scott's Seafood in Walnut Creek with Jennifer Colosi, founder of Colosi Associates executive search firm and a member of the FWA Board. This session will help you develop the skills to identify and promulgate your greatest career accomplishments and use those to advance your position, your compensation, and your long term career possibilities both inside and outside of your company! About the Speaker: Jennifer Colosi is the founder of Colosi Associates. Colosi Associates specializes in retained executive search for financial executives, and in coaching candidates across organizational functions. She is passionate about helping professionals identify and communicate their personal value propositions. Communicating your accomplishments and gaining recognition is the foundation for personal success, as well as for the success of your company. --------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION There are 5 ways to pre-register: 1.

| Description | PARC Forum: February 8, 2007, 4:00 p.m., George E. Pake Auditorium, Palo Alto, CA , USA Decision-making from Karl Marx to YouTube: How to Think About Strategic Dilemmas Phil Hood, Writer, Consultant, and Publisher In Marx's day, labor capital controlled the means of production. Today, every consumer has a computer that enables production, distribution, and consumption from anywhere. The basic dilemma--who controls the means of production and who captures its rewards?-- endures in a new form. In this talk, Phil Hood will examine how strategic dilemmas are modeled and resolved in society, business and personal life, using examples from his book _The Power of the 2 x 2 Matrix: Using 2 x 2 Thinking to Solve Business Problems and Make Better Decisions_ (Jossey-Bass, 2004). He will introduce a problem hierarchy model and discuss how to apply solution methods that are appropriate to the toughest technology strategy issues today. Be ready for group exercises and tough thinking about current challenges in your own work. Writer, consultant, and publisher Phil Hood specializes in new media and technologies. After a 15-year stint in music publishing, he moved into information technology in the 1990s, working as editorial director of Hypermedia Communications. While there he directed the 250,000-circulation _NewMedia_, the first magazine focused on the convergence of communications, media, and computing technologies. In the mid-'90s he switched gears, becoming EVP of Research at the Alliance for Converging Technologies, a Toronto-based think tank specializing in custom research for Fortune 500 firms. While there, Phil directed several multimillion-dollar studies into the future of multimedia, online commerce, e-government and online self- organized production. As part of these programs, he developed and delivered planning toolkits to companies around the globe. Today Phil is involved in speaking, writing, and, once again, music publishing, as President of Enter Music Publishing, Inc., and consultant to several music and entertainment web sites. | |

| Description | PATCA TALK-Thinking Outside the Marketing Box Featuring Robert Middleton, author of "InfoGuru Marketing Manual". Marketing and selling your services is an issue for every single consultant and other service professional. It's something you need to address in order to keep your business alive. You know that. But why is marketing still a struggle for so many? The truth is, marketing is a process, and like any process it takes a certain amount of time and energy to learn and implement. It is not inherently difficult. But we make it difficult. We construct a box of self-imposed limitations and beliefs about marketing. Do any of these thoughts sound familiar to you? *I don't have time to do marketing *Marketing only leads to rejection, so why bother? *Marketing just doesn't work for my business *I have to do it perfectly, or not at all *If I do good work, referrals will come *Marketing is easy, it's the selling that's hard *I'm not a good speaker, writer or networker *I won't be respected if I market myself *Marketing is too much like selling cars What if you could step outside your current marketing box? What if you saw marketing as an opportunity, not a burden? And what if marketing could be easy and effective instead of a difficult struggle? In this talk, Robert Middleton will help us explore our current limitations and beliefs about marketing and demonstrate some powerful tools to help us think outside the marketing box. Speaker Robert Middleton Robert Middleton has been helping Independent Professionals attract more clients since 1984. Robert is the author of the "InfoGuru Marketing Manual" and the "Web Site ToolKit" and leads the "Fast Track to More Clients Program" and the "Marketing Action Groups."
