TurfNet in January will begin its 11th year of offering Web-based education. In conjunction with BASF and Grigg, TurfNet University will produce a minimum of 24 webinars in 2018.
The schedule begins Thursday, Jan. 4 with Anthony Williams, CGCS, of the Four Seasons Resort in Irving, Texas, who will present a career- and personal-development webinar entitled "Jumpstarting your career in 2018".
Williams will discuss how setting career goals for 2018 and beyond and working to attain them can help ensure career longevity.
When it comes to facing - and overcoming - adversity, Williams is something of an expert.
In a span of just more than two months in t2014, he lost his stepbrother in a car accident, his wife suffered - and survived - a massive heart attack and Williams himself underwent emergency open heart surgery. About a year later, his position at Stone Mountain Golf Club near Atlanta was eliminated, leaving him without a job.
His presentation in January will include how to establish realistic standards and how to go about working toward achieving them. He also will talk about how to market yourself, from self-promotion and public relations strategies in your current position and resume-writing and other career advice tips designed to help you realize your next opportunity.
