It’s Your Move
These
workshops offer an innovative personal and professional development
program. Based upon Jill Bremer's co-authored book, It’s Your Move: Dealing Yourself the Best Cards in Life and Work
(FT/Prentice Hall, 2004), this seminar teaches powerful strategies for
taking charge of one’s life and career. The following is a sample of
some of the topics covered in this workshop.

"It provided thoughtful and interesting ideas of career and life
planning. I was pleased with the turnout and surprised by the
unusual cross section of people who attended...The program did a lot
of what I wanted...and that was to get people to recognize that
'It's MY move!"
