A Simple Daily Habit That Can Change Your Career Reaching out to just three people a day isn’t hard. In fact, it’s fun! You get to have interesting conversations with people who might open doors to new opportunities—or at the very least, expand your network. And yet, 98% of people don’t do it. Instead, they stay stuck in jobs that don’t serve them or remain unemployed longer than necessary. Why? Because they’re too afraid to send an email. If you’ve spent years building a reputation as an excellent professional, why sell yourself short? Your next great opportunity could be one conversation away. So, take the leap—reach out. You never know where it might lead. #Networking #CareerGrowth #HiddenJobMarket

Most employers are terrible at recruiting. That might sound harsh, but it’s the truth. There’s no real "war for talent"—there are just companies that are excellent at recruiting and those that struggle. I recently had a great conversation on Confessions of a Recruiter, where I shared why I wrote Winning the War for Talent. The goal? To educate companies on how to recruit successfully—without necessarily relying on external recruiters. The reality is that internal recruitment teams are often under-trained, poorly managed, and overloaded with 40 to 60 jobs at a time. It’s no wonder so many businesses struggle to attract and retain top talent. A big thanks to Confessions of a Recruiter for having me on the show!

The Hidden Job Market for Board Roles It’s widely accepted that?80% of executive roles are never advertised—they’re filled through networks and direct approaches. For?board roles, that number is even higher—95% or more. Why? Because?it’s easy to appoint a board member but hard to remove one. Boards are?highly selective?and typically recruit through trusted connections rather than the open market. If you’re relying on job ads to secure a board position, you’re?missing out on nearly all available opportunities. The key is?strategic networking and positioning?within the right circles.

Should Executives Take on a Board Role? Here’s What You Need to Know Ever thought about joining a board and wondered, “Is this the right move for me?” Board roles can be career-defining—expanding your network, sharpening your strategic mindset, and offering a pathway beyond executive leadership. But they also come with real responsibilities, risks, and time commitments. In this article, I break down: ? The benefits of board roles and how they position you as a thought leader ?? The risks—from legal liabilities to financial oversight ? The reality of time commitment (spoiler: it’s more than just meetings!) ?? Why AICD accreditation is a must if you’re serious about governance ?? How to position yourself for a board seat (hint: networking is everything) If you’re considering stepping into governance, this is a must-read. Are you board-ready?
