Positioning Self:
Role & Responsibility

Maximize your return from investing in your talent pipeline.

Interns and new hires are expected to produce results yet need guidance. Supervisors care yet have no time to coach or mentor developing talent.

Positioning Self is a soft skills coaching program that directly addresses common interpersonal challenges companies face when nurturing future and fresh talent.

Registration is free during summer 2025 for first-time employer partners.
