The invariable answer: when someone li ke a professor\, manager\, or peer makes a recommendation or provides a re ference\, the likelihood of success is much higher than going it alone. Ma king sure that professors/managers/peers are familiar with your work and p ersonality attributes is crucial to getting desirable results. Consider\, for example\, starting early on and offering your help or services to prof essors/manager/peers\, and follow through with it—and when the time come s\, make a request for a recommendation. The resulting recommendation is m uch more beneficial just because of your approach to networking. Thus\, in order to get something from a network\, you are contributing or investing in the network upfront\, for a much better outcome. This presentation dis cusses the why and how of networking internals to increase your chances of success and the quantity and quality of returns.\n\nLikewise\, if we do n ot manage relations with managers and peers in the workplace\, we will not have the resources to get our jobs done. Communication—of all kinds—i s an essential part of this management. Can we ask better questions? How d o we work with difficult people? Do we always say nice things\, but carry a stick? Have we tried talking-up? Are we deadline-passionate\, and how do we manage that?\n\nDo you believe that conflict holds creative potential\ , conflict is unavoidable and common\, and conflict and negotiation are ce ntral parts of workplace life? If you do\, you are already ahead in the ga me. For most of the remaining folks who get stressed out dreading conflict in the workplace\, this presentation offers perspectives on conflict in t he workplace and practical approach to handle conflicts or differences. We include discussions on topics such as handling criticism\, and how import ant it is for us to deviate from our comfort zones once in a while to set different expectations for everyone—including ourselves.\n\nWe will disc uss all this and more with examples and anecdotes.\n\nYou'll walk away mor e aware to train yourself to be relevant and successful in today's workpla ce.\n\nSpeaker(s): Mr. Bala Prasanna\, \n\nAgenda: \n7:00PM - Introduction of IEEE Hamilton Section\n\n7:15PM - Presentation\n\n8:15PM - Q&A\n\n8:30 PM - Presentation End\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/422794 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/422794 ORGANIZER:patrick.nkwari.n@ieee.org, tanzeelur.rehman@ieee.org SEQUENCE:17 SUMMARY:Navigating the Career Jungle: Unleashing Your Success in Today’s Work Landscape URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/422794 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: ju stify\;"><span lang="EN-US">Workplace habits and expectations have changed significantly in the last several years.</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNoSpaci ng" style="text-align: justify\;"><span lang="EN-US">Surviving and thrivin g depends on your ability to grasp the broader picture and hone some essen tial skills. </span></p>\n<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justi fy\;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri\; mso-bidi-t heme-font: minor-latin\;">I<span style="color: black\; background: white\; ">n these days of extreme competition\, what is it that makes you get that job or assignment that you are very good at?
