http://getmomentum.co/ A Professional Skills-Based Coaching Program Guaranteed to Teach You: …the MINDSET to take charge of your Career Development … …the SKILLS to work more effectively, efficiently and productively … …the TOOL KIT to get things done easier, faster and better than ever before … It is time to GET MOMENTUM. You need great minds and other perspectives to bounce your ideas around. This is especially true when it comes to advancing your career and making personal skills-based improvements. Whether you’re like other Momentum members and own your own business (or want to), are a senior manager, or are looking to make that next big promotion into a greater leadership role, having access to the right people—your own brain trust—will propel you forward. If you do not have those people around supporting you, pushing you to be better, then success is harder than it needs to be. In fact, those who do NOT spend time around the right people may earn less, take fewer vacations and have less of what makes life so enjoyable. You can start to make things better right now by giving yourself the community of support, led by “one of America’s leading thought leaders,” to keep you inspired and on top of your game. Nobody does this alone. Not athletes. Not performers. Not CEO’s. It’s folly to think we can do it all ourselves, that we’ll get ourselves out of our own ruts, fuel our own motivation, find the valuable lessons that make us stand out in the conference room. If you don’t choose to join Get Momentum, then I urge you to find some coaching support or community of excellence that will keep you accountable. It’s essential. Jason Womack designed Get Momentum to give you the best of personal one-to-one coaching and the group brain trust support of your Get Momentum professional network of people from all over the world. You’ll have personal guidance through email, phone calls and the online discussion forums. Each conversation is designed to help you elevate your own strategic and tactical expertise.
