The Smart Start Coach Linda Lopeke

The Smart Start Coach â€" Linda Lopeke A couple of months ago I had a chat with Linda Lopeke, who teaches at a university in Canada. Linda has had a career outside of the university but designed an MBA-level course called Fortune 500 Intelligence. From what I can tell this has been an excellent testing ground for her to refine her Smart Start program, as she works with hopefuls and wannabes (I was an MBA student so I can say that :p). Linda has a program for the rest of us (meaning, not her students) where she makes some very strong claims. I dont think the claims are far-fetched. A lot of what is being taught is not necessarily new stuff although professional coaches are going to not only base their coaching on principles, but know the trends, fads and current career management stuff a lot better than someone who isnt immersed in it all day long. You can get a taste of her program here, with the free stuff. You can get an idea of what she teaches here, with the Cash for College challenge questions. Listen to her on the radio or read a press release here, to get to know her and her program better. Her home page is really long but has a lot more info, if you are interested. The pricing seems nominal for someone that wants to get started on the career fast track you can read all about it here. Linda has a system, with newsletters and communication catered to those that are trying to figure out how to get ahead. She has teleseminar classes that you can dial into, and I think peer communication opportunities to get to know other people that are in the program. This isnt a replacement for one-on-one career coaching but if you have been hesitant to jump into something like this, I think for the price, its a great alternative. Do you have a coach yet? Do you have a mentor? Has it been beneficial? The Smart Start Coach â€" Linda Lopeke A couple of months ago I had a chat with Linda Lopeke, who teaches at a university in Canada.
