The Career Intensity Challenge

On January 3, 2006 workplace warriors everywhere will have a new resource to help improve the quality of their careers.  David V. Lorenzo is pleased to announce the launch of an integrated, multimedia approach to career improvement.

The Career Intensity Resource Center, located at www.careerintensity.com will feature articles, podcasts and short video training sessions that people can use to improve the quality of their careers in the corporate world or to launch their own business as an entrepreneur. The daily blog, weekly podcasts and frequent video shows will be accessible free of charge. 

Much of the information on the resource center will be based upon Lorenzo’s book – Career Intensity: Business Strategy for Workplace Warriors and Entrepreneurs (Ogman Press, May 2006).

The site will launch with an unprecedented contest that will transform the careers of the thousands who are expected to participate.  Dubbed “The Career Intensity Challenge” Lorenzo will invite contestants to download sections of the book for free and then put them into practice.

“The Career Intensity Challenge is a powerful way to use word of mouth to change the quality of people’s lives.” says Lorenzo.  “People spend too much time at work to be unhappy.  We’re hoping to reach out to people who want something better from their careers and to students who are beginning to decide what they want to do in work lives.”

The contest kicks off the day the new site launches. Between January 3, 2006 and May 5, 2006 – contestants will have access to the content in Career Intensity for free, so it pays to enter early.  The Career Intensity Challenge will run until early fall.

Contestants will be judged based on the impact they have on the careers of others and not just on their own career improvement.  Finalists will be invited to New York to pitch their ideas to a panel of business executives, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.

The grand prize will be a year of one-on-one career coaching by Dave Lorenzo and his team. However Lorenzo says that the people on the judging committee may have other things in mind.  “I wouldn’t be surprised to see many of the contestants walk away with job offers or offers to finance their own ventures.  By the end of the contest, everyone who participates will have shown a selfless dedication to helping others and the ability to improve themselves.  These are two of the most valuable qualities a workplace warrior can possess.”

Contest details and additional information will be posted in the upcoming weeks on the Career Intensity Blog which launched earlier this week.

Awesome! I can't wait until January 3rd! Now I have two great blogs to read and an oppurtunity of a lifetime!

I feel a little goofy, I commented on the other post because it's what showed up in my RSS first! Oops! :)
