This presentation will address the following issues:
• Entrepreneur or Enterpriser

• Self‐Discovery process to understand who you really are (
strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, self-motivation and values)
• Articulating, building and accumulating your own brand, core
assets and skills
• Strategy for building a sustainable and transferable life‐skills
portfolio
• Developing your core skills – Depth vs. Breath
• Controllable and Uncontrollable variances impacting your career
• Managing your changing needs and expectations over time
• Building your network and not burning any bridges
