Careercast
Creating Your Career Advancement Blueprint
Vision without action is a daydream. Action with without vision is a nightmare. Japanese Proverb.
“This is absolutely true,” says Karim Ismail, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist,
and CEO of Avidium Inc., an international management consulting firm. He is also
the author of “Keep ANY Promise: a blueprint for designing your future” which expresses
his philosophy that “without goals and a solid plan, very little achievement is
possible in the long run.” In the next CareerCast, Karim will share his vision,
insights, and hard-fought lessons after a near-tragic personal and profession event.
