The FENG Westchester, NY Chapter

Next Meeting

When:	07/09/2013 – 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (Reserve a spot at this event)
Where:	Hitchcock Church Greenacres and Walworth Avenue Scarsdale, NY
Agenda:	Being in-transition for a short or long period of time can be a very stressful. You can get depressed, angry and confused. You can lose your self-confidence. What can you do to change this situation? How do you get back into the “game”? How do you change this negative situation into a positive experience? Please join Marty Latman on July 9, 2013 as he discusses a topic all people in-transition struggle with as he presents “In-Transition – Now What do I do?” Attendees at all levels will learn about the obstacles they need to overcome during this period to succeed, the methods they need to use to change their situation and ways to make being in-transition a productive, meaningful and positive time in their lives.

Marty has been a guest speaker to many networking groups where he has discussed various career development topics including networking, interviewing techniques and advance career planning strategies. He has made presentations to many groups including many FENG chapters, the Financial Executive International (FEI), Financial Planning Association of NJ (FPANJ), Media Communication Association – International (MCA-I), Career Networking Group (CNG), Careers In Transition (CIT) and many NJ Professional Services Groups (PSG).
