Maybe you know you are in the wrong organization but haven’t been able to make a change. CPSA says that now is the time to come to grips with your future. Decide whether you need to take more courses. Remember that in some organizations financial and other support is available for educa- tional and other leaves of absence. You always gain an edge on your competitors when you are able to demonstrate experience from a different perspective. Cultivate ‘the’ right, group of allies in your organization to heip boost your proposal or new idea. If you're in the wrong organization, get your resume in shape and speak to a career plan- ning specialist about the best op- portunities. To learn more about how to improve your selling skills, phone the Canadian Professional Sales Association at 1-800-268-3794. - Courtesy News Canada *% DYNAMIC | CANADIAN GROWTH Compound returns to June 30, 1993 FOR FREE INFORMATION, CALL: C.M.
