Let’s talk about asking for help — Rachel B. Garrett | Career Transition Coach
I spoke at a networking event last week and I mentioned a concept I didn't realize was so controversial… People want to help you. Wait, what? In response, I heard a lot of… I don’t want to be a burden. I don’t want to sound weak. I don’t even know how to ask! That’s why I’m kicking o
Career Clues from your early career — Rachel B. Garrett | Career Transition Coach
A few weeks ago, I reconnected with a former colleague from one of my first jobs. Actually, he hired me into an ad agency digital producer role in the height of the dot com days – and it changed the course of my career. I hadn’t seen him in nearly two decades and we were transported back to that –

5-min Networking Guide for Introverts — Rachel B. Garrett | Career Transition Coach
For most of my life I’ve considered myself a raging extrovert. Yet, somehow the combination of pandemic life and middle age has prompted me to embrace my growing introverted side. In addition to recalibrating my social life because of my kaput party-stamina, it’s also brought me to a sh
Deep Relationships Create Meaningful Careers — Rachel B. Garrett | Career Transition Coach

The truth about truth telling — Rachel B. Garrett | Career Transition Coach
As I mentioned last week, for several years now, I've been kicking off my year with a word or a theme that will drive me forward. The first couple of years of this practice, I would choose a word, then get swept back into the reactive way I was living my life. So by the time December rolled around,

Authentic vs. Executive Presence — Rachel B. Garrett | Career Transition Coach
Early on in my business, in addition to my 1:1 work, I facilitated 2-hour workshops on Executive Presence to rooms filled with aspiring women leaders. At the time, I felt my own impostor syndrome sneaking up – standing in front of 30 women, telling them to focus on eye contact, watch their filler
