The South African Business Schools Expo provides individuals with information about qualifications, skills development and labour market trends. This year, I’m privileged to be a speaker at the expo, presenting on a topical issue – Earnings, Qualifications & the Professional.  The presentation is free to those attending the expo.

Many professionals acquire further qualifications, in part, because they expect to access better employment opportunities and increase their earnings in future.  But does it automatically hold true?

I’m planning to examine these areas:

Whatever makes you unhappy in the office…

…Whatever keeps you trapped in a job you hate 

Whatever spoils your work day…

…Whatever pushes your dream further away

Whatever career dilemma you are facing…

Whatever job hunting obstacles you encounter… 

…Whatever work rejections & disappointments come your way

I want you to remember this

IT IS POSSIBLE TO OVERCOME IT

It can be done

It means that you have to revisit your life, maybe through a different lens

It means that you have to work, maybe differently

It means that you have to get support, maybe from different people

But what ever it takes

It is possible

It has been done

It is possible to overcome your career, work & job challenges

I was impressed and inspired by the Insider Career Briefing presentation. Yusuf Mahomedy delivered a  professional, polished and inquiring presentation, taking care to interact with and determine the specific needs of each participant. He has a wide range of relevant knowledge which he kindly imparts, he is articulate, sincere and can relate readily to the individual’s position; at the same time observing where the individual fits into the bigger picture. He ran the presentation efficiently – (it came to an end too soon – there was so much interesting stuff) – it was dynamic and at just the right pace. He gave good tips and has given me an anchoring point from which to improve my ailing career.
 
I used to wonder what was wrong with me in previous jobs when I couldn’t understand that all my colleagues were content to do the same thing day in and day out, year after year, whilst I was always restless, in search of growth, always challenging the norm, and pre-occupied with what was out there in the big wide world. I learnt that I am not abnormal but just in the minority in this regard – a great relief. How to successfully channel that curiosity and energy is now up to me, and it is great to know that I have encountered Yusuf’s service for support and guidance when I am ready.   
 
Thanks!

The insider career briefing was my third consecutive worksucks workshop that I attended to date, and I must say that it was very incisive as per usual worksucks content. Yusuf Mohamedy’s cut-to-the-chase and yet seamless approach makes it easier for the audience to relate. Going once, going twice, going thrice, I’m sold! Thumbs up for all your efforts to try and change orthodoxy!
