Are you in a job below your skills and education levels in order to survive the worst economy since the Great Depression?

LTR’s level playing field special report Temping with Tycoons: Lessons from My Leadership Reinvention can help inspire and motivate you to be engaged in whatever job you are able to find.

On August 21, 1989, I started a two-week assignment as a temporary secretary at the quiet giant of finance Lazard Frères & Co. and I didn't leave until five years later. Why so long? There was another recession going on and temping gave me stability. Plus, I used Lazard as the business school that I could afford.

I know you're wondering, "What can I learn from your experiences temping twenty years ago?" And, "How is your story relevant to the obstacles that I'm facing today?"

Lessons in Temping with Tycoons aren't just about being a temporary secretary or how to do what I now do. It's about using your workplace as a training room.

You'll learn how to practice active patience to stay engaged and motivated. Questions at the end of each lesson offer ways you can help yourself reinvent your skills into a meaningful career. To join with others also laid off and looking, sign up for one of my Recession Seminars.

Even if you aren't laid off and looking, Temping with Tycoons gives you an inside and thoughtful look at the organizational behavior and priorities of financial executives.

Lead with your best,
Leigh
