Career Development is one of those things that often gets a lot more talk than action.
It typically is a very highly ranked “want” on employee surveys.
As a manager, Career Development is tough to provide for a few reasons:
My approach to career development is pretty simple. And it solves all these problems.
What employees need to develop, in addition to getting the right experience, is a combination of:
I offer a low-hassle, but high-impact program that helps individuals take their development into their own hands.
This is my Membership Program which gives people access to:
.
Over the past 4 years, companies have offered Azzarello Group Membership as either a primary career development benefit, or as a supporting program to their more formal HR initiatives.
It’s effective because people love it, and because it’s really easy to provide — You sign up your employees, and they use it at their own convenience. It takes no time on the part of the manager to implement!
I have set up this program to be a no-brainer in terms of cost, because I really do want to help people get better at what they do.
It is only $179 per indivdual for a whole year!
The cost is a rounding error on their salary, it’s fraction of the cost of attending a conference, and it gives the employee support for an entire year.

People can access the material when it is convenient for them to do so. I am always honored when people tell me they listen to my webinars during their commute, or on their morning runs!
If you are looking for a way to provide effective and meaningful career development to your team (and score points for doing so!) this program is very easy to provide and very easy to use.
If you are one of the first 20 groups to sign your team up in January, I will send you a free copy of my book RISE for every person you sign up (you pay the bulk shipping).
Group discount rates kick in at 20 memberships.
To sign up your team simply send me an email and let me know the number of people you want to sign up.
People describe this program as creating “Permanent Improvements” in their career and life.
I think that is pretty great.
Members get ideas and tools that get them thinking differently about how to create success — and it changes they way they do something forever after. Or it opens a door for them which gets them into a role that changes the rest of their life.
I am so happy to be a part of that for people!
