If you’re like most Americans, you made at least one personal New Year’s resolution this year. And, if you’re like most Americans, you’ve already broken it.

Business goals are as important — and as fragile and easily broken — as personal resolutions. But meeting our business goals is important if we want our profits to grow and our careers to advance.

Bring your top three business-related goals to the first 2009 Communication Central seminar on Thursday, January 15. During the session, we will

• share our goals
• refine them into concrete New Year’s resolutions for career and business
• discuss specific strategies we can follow to make them come true
