At some point in our lives, we've all heard
our elders tout the value of getting a good solid education.
Education, or lack thereof, often dictates one's job marketability,
socio-economic status and one's ability to provide for self
and the family. Whether formalized or not the learning process
for some never ends.
This month's cover story profiles Joyce
Dugan, Director of External Relations and Career Development
for Harrah's Cherokee Casino. In an interview with Marilyn
Sprague-Smith, Joyce talks about how her education influenced
her life and how her firm belief in the value of education
has become part of the foundation for much of her work in
her community. Her goal was to give back -- to be an advocate
for education. As you will clearly see from her profile,
Joyce is well along the path to achieving this goal.
If you are in business for yourself, then
you'll most certainly want to read Sheyenne Kraemer's column
on "Marketing without Migraines." She says that
you can either "Spend
Your Money or Spend Your Time." Being
in business for yourself means using your financial resources
wisely and also your network of contacts. Do you really
need your own "virtual marketing team" to help
promote yourself? YES! You can't do it alone. Marketing
and self-promotion is a game of strategy
that even the most experienced
corporations and individuals seek to master. But
with a little help from your strategic alliance friends,
you can achieve your goals faster.
Until next month,
I hope you'll be @your
best self!
