This, of course, is only if you take the necessary steps to recession-proof your career today. There are four strategies that come to mind as I reflect on those clients that superseded during the highs and lows of the economy and the ever-changing workforce of today.   During the presentation, I am going to share the four strategies that are going to help you reflect, identify, and act on your next career goals.

Gramma in a Box is an idea Terry developed when three of her grandchildren moved to Seattle. She was always boxing up cookies and treats that they could make together when they Skype. Once she shared this idea with other friends and family, the concept for Gramma in a Box was born! If you are lucky enough to live near your grandchildren, or as a parent you want to have a fun, creative project without all the work, then Gramma in a Box may be right for you. Or, if you are like me, and your grandchildren do not live nearby, then shipping Gramma in a Box may just be the fun, monthly activity for you send and use technology to connect.
