How do you respond in a way that is memorable and impactful? Join Judson and Jerome as they reboot their podcast and discuss this very important messaging statement. Known as an elevator pitch by some or the professional value proposition by others, this 30-second statement sets the tone for the rest of the conversation. Learn how to make the most of this first impression.

Join Judson and Jerome for a discussion on the topic of managing up. In this episode, the career coaches share how applying the best practices of a good manager can propel you to career success.

Actually, there are a number of scenarios where an employee may want to 'manage up' to help his/her supervisor and team achieve goals.  You can reach the podcast at UpLevelCareers@gmail.com.
