Perhaps you’ve been promoted. Other exciting professional development opportunities have come your way. But recently—not so many. Your daily routine has become drudgery. You watch the clock\, looking forward to your lunch break and the end of the working day. You know you’re good at your job. You earn the praise of your supervisors. But you’re bored and find few challenges to keep the spark you once had for your profession alive. Simply put\, you feel stuck. You’re in a rut\, and you’re at a loss as to how to escape it short of finding a new job (and that’s often easier said than done).   \n\n\n\nBut all is not lost. Many of us at one point or another in our careers find ourselves in similar circumstances. Fortunately\, we have options for identifying and learning from them. We do so by applying time-tested strategies to reinvigorate our work and life. In other words\, the passion and enthusiasm we once had can return if we take action.   \n\n\n\nThis webinar is designed to help show you how to escape your rut and resume a productive and engaging work life. By attending it\, you’ll learn:  \n\n\n\n\nThe signs of being in a rut at work; \n\n\n\nStrategies designed to spark your creativity in your job; and \n\n\n\nHow to apply what you’ve done to reinvigorate your daily activities—and to escape your rut. \n\n\n\n\nMitchell Friedman\, EdD\, APR ~ Biography  \n\n\n\nMitchell Friedman\, EdD\, APR develops people. Known as an enthusiastic\, energetic\, and insightful educator and consultant\, he relishes opportunities to help others to develop their skills and abilities on the path to achieving their full potential.   \n\n\n\nDr. Friedman teaches leadership\, management communication\, organizational behavior\, and public relations at universities located throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
