Let’s face it, you can’t win every argument. You won’t get every job. Not every single one of your ideas is going to be embraced. And you would drive yourself crazy if you went to the mat for every single initiative. So, the question becomes where do you draw the line and how do you know which efforts are going to have the biggest impact in your career? In this keynote, you will learn about when to go for it and when to back down from a fight.

In this keynote, you will learn how to create your own network to power your career forward.
