Closing Keynote Powered by MotorCity Casino Hotel: “If You Want It, Come and Get It, For Crying Out Loud!” (Taking Ownership for Advancing Your Career in This New Remote Work Environment)

The pandemic has turned our world upside down and disrupted and transformed the way we live and work. Most people are still working remotely today. Some of you haven’t seen your direct manager or team in person for over a year. One thing is for certain, we will not be returning to a traditional work environment any time soon, or maybe never again. Today’s remote work environment has its benefits. However, when you swing the pendulum too far, it can also result in setbacks and unintended consequences. One of those areas being challenged today is the effectiveness of developing new hires and next generational leaders remotely. The biggest concern and questions John hears today from Detroit Economic Club Young Leaders and others is, “How do I advance my career in this new remote work environment.” John plans to address this question head on, from your perspective and your leaders!!!

Key Takeaways:
