Just as effective marketers create a niche for the products or services they promote, you and your managerial team must create a niche for yourselves to effectively advance in your respective careers. Creating a niche involves making yourself indispensable – becoming the kind of professional that others seek first when reorganizations begin, and becoming the type of employee your organization cannot afford to let go, even in a shaky economy.

In this insightful program, Jeff Davidson covers a broad swath of strategies for making yourself indispensable and enabling your team members to do the same. Finding out what’s needed on the job (not merely what is expected) and doing it will get you noticed quickly.

“Your program had a great impact on me. I had already been working on the premise that the best way for me to optimize my performance was to focus my efforts rather narrowly…but you put a different spin on the concept of focus. After attending, I’ve been looking at what I’m doing from an opposite perspective, which feels almost liberating. Thanks for the help!”
