New York City is the most competitive city in the world and a rather challenging (and often unwelcoming) place for those with small dreams or unclear goals. Whether they be students, executives, doctors or actors, thousands of ambitious, success-minded people eagerly flock to “The City That Never Sleeps” with every intention of rising to the top of their respective field. But if one hopes to succeed in such a competitive and often chaotic environment, it takes more than just smarts and skills; it takes the outlook, attitude, and the game plan of a winner.
Talk to someone who has achieved greatness in their field (Lance Armstrong, Oprah Winfrey or Steve Jobs, for ex.) and you’ll notice that they don’t devote a lot of time to discussing their strengths, technical knowledge, or even how smart they are. They will, however, talk about the need to engage the mind, body and spirit in the quest for excellence.
This program provides concrete, easy-to-implement steps, actions and strategies that will enable you to hurdle psychological obstacles and break through personal barriers — regardless of your particular career focus — and quickly set yourself apart from the competition.
PRESENTERS
Alan Cohen, MBA and certified professional career and leadership coach, has more than 25 years of experience in business, with a specific expertise in the areas of public relations, marketing, human resources, training, and development. As the President of ACTS OF BALANCE COACHING (www.actsofbalance.com), a NY-based firm, Mr. Cohen helps executives navigate the changes in their respective businesses, and works with them on achieving greater professional success and fullfilment.
Most recently, Mr. Cohen served as the Director of Communications for the Broadway League. In addition, he was Director of Corporate Training and Development for Scholastic Inc., the international children’s media company, as well as the company’s director of publicity, where he served as a member of the marketing team on the enormously successful Harry Potter book series.
Mr. Cohen received his professional coach training from iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching), an organization for which he also serves as an Associate Coach Trainer. He works closely with the Public Relations Society of America, Media Bistro, F.I.T., and The Ladders.com, the Web’s premier job-seeking site (through which he offers interview-prep coaching, webinars and seminars). Mr. Cohen holds a BA in English and Theater from Connecticut College, and an MBA from Fordham University’s Graduate School of Business.
Allan Fried is a New York City based career coach (www.careerintervention.com) specializing in helping accomplished professionals generate (and demand) better compensation for doing the work they love. He has been described by his clients as “talented, Zen-like, and passionate” and they attribute their many successes to his intuitive ability to help them both discover and leverage their natural strengths.
Prior to becoming a coach, Mr. Fried spent almost 20 years as an executive and entrepreneur in the music business, quickly working his way through the ranks to the position of Vice President International at record label BMG, where he guided the careers of multi-platinum recording artists. Sensing rapid changes in technology, he joined the pioneering digital entertainment company Knitmedia as COO before launching his own entertainment marketing firm. Mr. Fried received his coach training from NYU’s Coach Training Program and Coachville’s Graduate School of Coaching, where he is also an instructor. He holds a BA from the University of Maryland.
