Rod Colón: A Business Profile
| A Fresh Approach to Personal Success | ETP Network Founder and CEO Rod Colón has a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in today's global economy. Rod shares his 24 years of experience as a corporate HR management insider, outside agency recruiter, professional networker and career coach through an unusual yet common sense approach to networking and career management. His in-depth knowledge of international staffing, recruiting and networking gives Rod a unique ability to both coach and consult today's professionals and executives around the world. |
| A Genuine Passion for Helping Others | Rod uses his passion, energy, and creativity to support others. He coaches professionals in the art of leveraging relationships that maximize personal networking opportunities. Rod also uses this hands-on approach with corporations as they confront the new business paradigm in which an organization's success requires professionals to optimize their use of both internal and external networks. As he reminds his members, mastering the subtle techniques of using these networks is vital to the success of both the professional and the organization. |
| Establishing Core Values of Trust, Accountability, and Integrity | The Job Search & Networking School conference call is an example of Rod's unique and creative approach to fostering the critical career skills of trust, accountability, and integrity in all ETP Network members. Through sessions designed to teach both basic cookbook job search techniques as well as advanced network development strategies designed to long outlive the current search, Rod reveals the depth of his career management experience and shares the wisdom he has acquired over the years. He demonstrates the power of networking as a giving and sharing activity, and aggressively challenges professionals to be relentless in building their networking skills while managing their careers as the CEO of ME, Inc. |
| Applying the Power of Networking Technologies | Today the ETP Network (5 million LinkedIn professionals, 10,000 associates and 1700 Yahoo Groups members) leads the way in the education of networking as a core career management activity through networking events, career coaching programs, conference calls, training seminars, job openings, channel partnering and networking libraries. Rod encourages ETP Network members to share their networking experiences and questions through a daily Q & A-style conference call and urges members to become proficient with networking-oriented applications such as LinkedIn, Yahoo Groups, and Facebook. |
| Faculty Member, Georgian Court University | One of Rod's passions is teaching at Georgian Court University. He believes GCU is now in the forefront of providing educational programs for women on career management and networking. His 3-credit course has already had a tremendous impact on many of his former students in shaping their academic and professional goals as well as training them to be proactive managers of their careers. GCU is planning to expand its career management curriculum using many of the same principles and guidelines Rod used to launch the ETP Network. |
| Awards, Honors, and Media Recognition | Rod is a graduate of Georgian Court University and a board member of the Georgian Court Alumni Association. He has been featured in Princeton Review, and has received numerous awards and citations in both print and online media. His innovations with the ETP Network have attracted a growing audience of business professionals who recognize and appreciate his gift for leadership, his command of both traditional and emerging business trends, and his unfailing desire to mentor, coach, train and advise in all matters related to career management and personal growth. |
