A New Kind Of Revolution

Written by Eileen Burns on Jun 13, 2011 5:10 pm

The revelation is that…the way we were…is over!

The corporate structure and the system has begun to crumble. Innovative, fast-moving and nimble competition has risen from nearly all corners of the planet. Technology has wired us all directly to each other.

All this deconstruction and loss of control by the few, the behemoths spells freedom….and opportunity for the rest of us. It is our time to thrive according to Darren Hardy, publisher of SUCCESS magazine.

But you must be able to adapt. The traditional yellow brick road to success and financial security has been changed as well. The path to high-paying jobs involved getting the highest academic degree you could obtain.

The skills needed for the 21st century success are less about academic or industrial training and more about:

emotional intelligence
resiliency
networking
interpersonal and relationship development skills
Self-motivation
accountability and productivity skills
personal branding
social marketing
persuasive communication skills
leadership
recruiting and people building skills

To stay relevant, where do you go to gain these critical skills?

Personally, I subscribe to SUCCESS magazine, stay informed in industry,state and national publications, participate in coaching programs, participate in a Mastermind group, affiliate myself with marketing experts, co-authored a book, belong to several networking groups, actively participate in social media sites, public speaking engagements and created a coaching program for people in our real estate arena who need to address any of the above.

How are you staying relevant in this fast-changing environment?
