Comparing your career to someone else’s is like going for a jog in the morning and comparing yourself to everyone else out for a run. You don’t know 👇🏽 - How long they’ve been running. - What their background is... - What type of training they’re doing. - etc. Run your own race. 🏃🏾 💨 #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

Careers: A series of events that when you become most useful, experienced, wise, valuable and knowledgeable, most companies decide you should leave.

2010 - 300 emails a day in one email program and one inbox. 2017 - 500 messages a day strewn across 40 different apps, platforms, inboxes and devices. Email isn't perfect but it was better than this peak complexity of Slack, Asana, Dropbox, Yammer, Lync, Etc etc,

"She's a bit too much." When I first received that feedback on a piece of my content, I was absolutely devastated. I felt unloved and undervalued as a professional. But today I met my soul sister, Miranda VonFricken who is equal parts ambition and pizazz as she is sass and love!

If you're reaching out for a job because you "love what we do & feel you'd be a great fit." But you don't know what we do and can't tell me specifically why you'd be a good fit.... then I can't hire you. 🤷🏾‍♂️

“I need help.”🥺 They’re probably the hardest 3️⃣ words to say, particularly in #business . There is no shame in asking for #help , and in many instances, it can bring great relief to know that we don’t have to go it alone. Here’s how to make it easier: Cut yourself some slack❤️ None of us is perfect. And no one can be an expert in all areas, nor should you try. Instead of beating yourself up because you can’t do everything yourself, practice a little self-compassion. Realize that you’ll grow faster and go farther🚀 Not reaching out can often keep you from making #progress . If you find yourself struggling to keep promises you made to yourself, despite your best intentions, you might require an extra hand. Consider that your ask might make someone else feel good😊 A friend once reminded me that not asking for help deprives others of the opportunity to be of service. You encourage others to do so as well💁🏼‍♀️ When we find the courage to ask for help, modeling #vulnerability , it creates a positive ripple effect, giving others permission to do the same. It gets easier with practice✅ Remember that everyone needs some form of assistance at some time, and getting into the practice of asking for help becomes more comfortable over time. #leadership #career …see more

‘Talent Marketing’ I didn’t make that up. It ain’t ‘Marketing’. It’s not exactly ‘employer branding’. When talents get 7-10 job offers every single week. When companies struggle with paying candidates what FB, Amazon, Microsoft and Google can easily afford. In this reality, you need more than just actively reaching out to candidates. In marketing, Lead-gen will get you that steady flow of leads every business needs. But Demand Gen will always get a much higher conversion rate. Talent marketing follows the same rule. You want these talents to be interested in you. You want them to approach you. You want them to WANT. #hr #hiring #career #marketing …see more

The latest Wall Street Journal survey of economists is out. It is more pessimistic than a month ago, with a deeper Nike-type “swoosh" for US growth -- that is a larger contraction this quarter followed by a bigger bounce in the second half of the year. For 2020 as a whole, GDP is projected to fall by 6.8% (compared to the 4.9% predicted last month). My own estimate, FWIW, is in the minus 8-10% for 2020 including a consistent range for Q2 contraction (30-40%) but not as sharp as a bounce thereafter. https://lnkd.in/eUQEfaP #economy #wsj #growth …see more
