Systemwide Professional Development presents CSU's GOT TALENT, live webcasts featuring innovative & essential training for your professional and personal success!

“Managing Up: How to Move Up, Win at Work, and Succeed With Any Type of Boss”, October 22 from 10:00 - 11:00 AM PT

Managing Up is your guide to the most valuable 'soft skill' your career has ever seen. It's not about sucking up or brown-nosing; it's about figuring out who you are, who your boss is, and finding where you meet. Learn about building real relationships with people who have influence over your career. In this session, best-selling author, Mary Abbajay delivers strategies for developing these all-important connections and building more than rapport. You become able to quickly assess situations, and determine which actions will move you forward; you become your own talent manager, and your boss's top choice for that new opportunity. As a skill, managing up can do more for your career than simply 'networking' ever could.
