Get Out There and Meet New People
This past year has been a journey and lesson in how important networking is to career success. As some of you may know I was a very shy teenager, often choosing to close myself off to people that I didn't know as a defense mechanism. This was a result of my own insecurities, and although I have come a long way from my insecure high school days, I still find that my first instinct can be to close myself off at networking events. When job searching, building a business, or simply building your per

I am an idea person. Once a month I come up with an idea for a new project or organization, I of course always think they are great money making, world changing ideas; however I know I don't have the time or energy to follow up on all of them. So how do we decide which project or job to follow up on, which to let go, and which to put on the back burner until a later date.

How to Support Your Career During the Time of COVID-19

Is it Possible to Study Leadership?
A report by Forbes detailing the recent data on leadership statistics reveals an alarming fact. Apparently, as many as 4 out of 10 tech leaders are failing โ the highest failure rate in any essential industry. The reason for this is simple: about 32% of the leaders in this industry have reported that they never meet with managers to discuss or evaluate performance. In short, the tech industry is mostly focused on technical ability, and rarely puts any effort into actually developing its leaders.
Staying the Course
This week I went out of town on vacation to Myrtle Beach, the days before I left were spent trying to finish up assignments and work that I knew I wouldnโt touch once I was away.

I have also just started working with a new group of wonderful women in a group career coaching program, and the topic of staying committed to the job search
Team Spirit & The Job Search
โDo you work better in a team or by yourself?โ One of my colleagues recently asked while we interviewed for a new Office Assistant. She asked during two different interviews and received two different answers, although neither answer is right or wrong, I found myself making judgments about each candidate based on their answer. Strangely enough, the person who seemed more outgoing and energetic was the one that preferred to work by themselves. It made me wonder what it was about working with othe
Transcending Negative Beliefs
This season is a time of renewal and blossoming. I celebrated Easter this past weekend by visiting my motherโs spiritual community, and I heard a sermon on transformation and transcendence. I started to think about all the negative beliefs that I was holding on to, and how they are holding me back, or influencing my career decisions. The beliefs that I hold about money, my own self-worth, and my community affect how I interact at work and the opportunities I pursue. In the spirit of letting go

Crafting a Winning Story

Why You Should Care About Company Culture
When I was first starting in my career, I knew nothing about company culture and how important it is to job satisfaction. I think even the ideas that companies, and in some cases industries have a prevailing culture was foreign to me. Now, what I did know starting off in my early stages, while temping in various industries, was that I found some companies to be stiff and boring. I am often thankful for the time I spent temping because I got a first row view of how companies and industries opera
