Many of us strive to be valuable to our organization, hoping that not only is your team successful but that you are also seen as a success. Your relationship with your boss can be a critical component of your work success, but also your happiness regarding what you do at work.

This webinar will give you the inside scoop on being seen as essential to your leader while developing skills needed to advance.
During our time together we will:

-Learn about the qualities that make employees indispensable
-Explore key strategies to cultivate your relationship with your boss
-Identify possible steps you can take now to flex your managing up muscles
