"The current economic downturn has affected so many people who are now unemployed or are very nervous about keeping their job. They want to increase their employability by increasing their workplace skills to help them find or keep their job," said Stephen Covey. "Many must recreate themselves and start over in a new career. Everyone must be proactive and do all they can to help themselves to stay employed. I so look forward to sharing my knowledge to help them secure their future."

Sponsors of the webinar series include Training magazine, Forbes.com, and Julie Morgenstern, bestselling author of SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life: A Four Step Guide to Getting Unstuck.
