The Next Leaders Webcast Series is designed to help young professionals develop skills and self-knowledge to make them more effective at work and in their personal lives. Young Professionals of Brevard is excited to partner with Next Generation Consulting to connect our members to these unique learning opportunities..
The first webcast in this four part series is:
- Strengths Training: No Weights Required! (November 17 – 12pm, $29) When people know and work in their strengths, they are ten times as effective as those who don't.

Prior to this session, participants are encouraged to take the Strengthsfinder assessment to determine their Top 5 Signature Strengths. Peg Hartmann, a trained strengths coach, will help participants understand their true strengths and how to leverage them to grow in their careers.
