Dear follower, I'd be truly grateful if you could take one minute to read through this and consider my request at the end of the message. Thank you in advance for your support and belief in me!
Disruptive times call for disruptive measures.
In all my 20+ years as a career coach, I have never, EVER seen the levels of career confusion, frustration, and depression this high.
Things need to change.
So, I'm going to tweak a famous saying and embrace the idea to, "Be the change you want to see in the world of work."
If you follow me on LinkedIn, you know I'm deeply passionate about being an advocate for YOU, the worker.
I left Corporate America and the recruiting industry to hop to the other side so I could teach you the things that school and businesses don't about finding a good job and unleashing your true career potential.
And, while I do a lot of free content on social media, I've realized recently that to help make an impact on the current situation, I need to scale my career coaching in a smart and organized way.

Here's my theory: If we can spend 1+ hours/day scrolling social media for our entertainment, then we can definitely take 5 minutes/day to build up our career management knowledge and confidence. Especially, if it's entertaining and easy to access.
With the above in mind, I've decided to launch a *new* free daily newsletter.
Maybe you already subscribe to newsletters like, The Skimm, The Morning Brew, The Hustle, or The Newsette?
These are smartly written newsletters that "edu-tain" us so we can learn and grow in a way that holds our attention.
Now, I realize this isn't ground-breaking, but I do know driving the conversation around career topics this way will help the workforce feel better at scale.
If you've ever found my career advice on LinkedIn helpful, will return the favor by subscribing to the *free* newsletter I'll be dropping Monday-Friday?
Click the form below to join the pre-launch list for my daily newsletter.
PS - I will be giving away prizes to lucky subscribers. i.e. private coaching calls with me, and a lot more, as part of the launch. So, sign up now so you have a chance to win.
Thank you for your support. I appreciate you!

1 年J.T I couldn't agree with you more when it comes to the loss of empathy in the workplace. I've always approached my management experience with a sense of empathy towards the staff, recognize their strengths, weaknesses, while maintaining standards. The sad truth from the corporate entity to this approach, "This isn't enough. We need more." During a corporate visit, the representative planted a very toxic seed in my head by saying, "You're not making the food fast enough." I was literally handling three stations single-handedly. The damage of that one statement was disastrous to my confidence, and increased my weariness to pursue new employment in the food industry. As an applicant, I would want to know: Is there appropriate training? Are standards laid out clearly? If in a role where hiring is part of the position, are there resources at direct disposal for training new employees? In my last role, often the training consisted of, "Here's a new product or standard. And go." There was no training. This is why I agree with the lack of empathy in the workplace so much. It needs to return. Not everyone learns at the same level, performs at the same speeds, or grasps the expectations at the levels required.
