Presentation:
This month NNJ-AWC is hosting a joint meeting with MIS Network Associates (MNA), at Holiday Inn in Totowa, NJ. We will begin the evening with Speed Networking so you can practice your elevator speeches and make contacts. Be sure to bring several copies of your resume. After dinner, ETP Network Founder and CEO Rod Colón will show you how to take control over your career by running a business called ME, Inc.
ME, Inc. is not something you read but a process you follow. Rod's coaching program changes professionals from an employee/consulting mindset (building "Someone Else’s, Inc.") to being the CEO of ME, Inc. To run, you, as a business, need a certain degree of discipline and mental toughness.
The ME, Inc. philosophy helps professionals in the following areas:
- Taking a Look at YOU – The Product and Service
- Recognize if the Current Market Supports Your Product and Service
- Understand your potential clients – from a CEO’s perspective
- Prepare for a changing workplace
- Engineer an Efficient Client Search (Job Search)
- Prepare Winning Proposals (Resumes)
- Prepare and Sell Me, Inc. (Interview)
- Develop a Disaster Recovery Plan – (Plan B)

Attributes that Rod looks for in a student interested in being the "CEO of ME, Inc.":
- Desire and need to change their current career management process
- Coachable and Teachable
