Please join us on October 29th at 1 PM ET as our speaker, Pete Blank, helps HR Professionals elevate their careers with intentional strategy and professional presence. Drawing from 13 years of leadership experience at Walt Disney World and insights from his book 55 Ways to Add Disney Magic, Pete shares practical, actionable lessons on professional presence, business savvy, strategic networking, and career expansion.
Participants will learn how to show up “onstage” every day with credibility, read the room with emotional intelligence, build powerful professional networks, and grow through a career lattice rather than simply climbing a ladder.
This fast-paced and inspiring session blends storytelling, real-world examples, and practical tools to help employees strengthen their impact, influence, and long-term success.
Key Takeaways:
- Demonstrate professional presence by understanding how body language, approachability, and everyday interactions shape credibility, influence, and client trust.
- Apply business savvy and emotional intelligence to read the room, navigate firm culture, and make sound professional judgments in high-stakes environments.
- Build strategic networks by leveraging LinkedIn, professional organizations, and internal relationships to increase visibility and career opportunity.
- Design a career lattice strategy by expanding skills, experiences, and cross-functional involvement to accelerate long-term career development beyond traditional upward promotion paths.
