We have to discuss vision! Without vision there isn't a mission or at least not one that you or anyone else will take seriously. The vision must inspire people to act in the workplace just as your personal vision should inspire you to achieve your goals. The faith you have in your vision creates anticipation that causes you to support yourself in having what it is you say you desire in your career. Get into this episode and discover the necessary strategies to see your career and personal goals move in the right direction.

If you're tired of going through the same cycles in your career, you have to listen to this! Remnants of the past can stain the future especially when it comes to career growth... It can be challenging to face the past when the hurt still feels fresh. In your career, figuring out what may be holding you back becomes easier as you learn to monitor your behavior and the incidents that trigger negative thought patterns.  There are usually three areas of shortcomings that bring up past feelings that cripple or even paralyze your plans for your future. Being able to recall the moment that caused you to suffer in one of the areas will allow you to heal and genuinely explore the opportunities that are presented to you. Take a listen and get started on the inner work required to free you from behaviors that are not serving you in this season.

It's much easier to blame someone else for you not succeeding in your career... What happens when you take full responsibility for your career and leave deflection behind? Career success created by operating in your power and taking ownership for what is or is not happening in your career is a sweet victory that few get to enjoy. It's because realizing that you are responsible for your career is a hard pill to swallow when you are employed in a toxic work environment, have a terrible boss, or recently found out that data says you have been underpaid.  As soon as you identify unfavorable conditions in your work, it becomes your job to free yourself from what you are not pleased with; choosing to do anything else is choosing to tolerate what you are not approving of. Check out this episode to learn all about how increased accountability in your career is key to unlocking the next level you desire to experience.

It's time to sell yourself to yourself so you can make the best of the new year! It's important to know whether you are operating in conviction or commitment in your career. Being convicted by your career forces you to operate at a low vibration in your role and it affects everything around you. It doesn't allow you to thrive the way being committed to your role would. It's time to determine where you stand on this. Your level of confidence is directly connected to your level of belief in the success you're working toward. The process to attain the type of career that you want can be tough but your commitment will pull you through; conviction will keep you stuck or even convince you to give up on your goals.  Check out this episode to determine whether you're on track for career success or standstill.

In this episode, we explore what 2023 will look like for professionals. The pandemic has had quite the impact on the job market and nothing is changing about that in the upcoming year.

What does true happiness and fulfillment look like in YOUR career. Obligation has given many the perception that a career can't deliver happiness or fulfillment. It's not true! You have the power to create freedom in your career that leads to work that lights you up. Becoming more aware of what you want and what action you can take to achieve it is a job that only you can do. It also requires you to accept that getting to that freedom will almost always require you to change--you have to grow and be able to reimagine what a rewarding career looks like for you. When you are considering this, it's amazing to see it demonstrated in real time.

Piggy backing off the last episode, when was the last time that you were able to envision success for yourself? If it's been a while it's probably because you're in survival mode. This episode is for you! Operating in survival mode in any capacity limits your ability to grow and with 2023 around the corner, this is the perfect time to start your process of transformation. Trying to list the steps turned into a general discussion because of the level of familiarity I have with the topic. Embracing the growth mindset is accepting what is and knowing that working toward what you desire to be lasts a lifetime. Turn inward to create the outward success you wish to see--being present is the gift that keeps on giving. You can learn so much from taking the time to examine your thoughts and behaviors.  Are you telling yourself that you can or you can't? Take a listen to learn about the path that led me out of panic and overwhelm in my business and career.

In this episode, we're discussing the three ways to tell if you're operating out of survival or potential in your career. It's the very real process I went through to overcome the obstacles that kept me from delivering weekly episodes in this podcast. How successful would you be in your career if you entertained what could be rather than what would never happen? It takes a heightened level of honesty and accountability to move out of survival mode and into working with your potential. Addressing this in your career is the difference between getting by and prospering in your life.

Succession planning is defined as the process of identifying the critical positions within your organization and developing action plans for individuals to assume those positions. In this episode, we're going to explore succession planning at a personal level without considering the commitment to a single organization. Your career success is contingent upon proper assessment of your skills, planning, and research dedicated to understanding the requirements of where you'd like to go. The foundation of this is career mapping, a concept that many have not had the pleasure of taking advantage of--we go through it here. Career mapping alone can save you boatloads of money and time when done accurately.  In addition to laying the foundation, there are two other elements that allow you to develop a solid succession plan for your career that you will actually commit to and see through.

Making decisions based off your emotions has been discouraged forever but what if you challenged that advice in your career? Denying yourself work conditions that are conducive to growth, happiness, and work/life balance is a form of excluding yourself from your own career. Why? I can't answer for you but for me it was for the sake of being rational.  Take a listen to this episode with an open mind and consider whether you are costing yourself a great career by hanging on to a dead-end role. It's time to stop ignoring how you truly feel about your career, your role, and your emotional/physical wellness. Lean into what can't be ignored! Use it to accelerate your search for new employment or to reignite the fire you once had for exploring growth opportunities in your current organization.

Discussing a topic that hits home like this one is always tough to fit into a 30-minute episode but I did it! Professionals have more power in their career than they usually recognize. My goal with this is to raise awareness about that power and how you can hold on to it. It's one of the worst feelings to not only feel powerless in a role but also to be lost on how to begin to regain that power you lost. There are three indicators or grounds for protection in keeping your power and I discuss them amongst other things in this episode.

It's easy to say what a leader should or shouldn't do but do you understand what's required to be successful as a leader? The clarity that one needs to properly lead isn't talked about enough... The leader must have a high level of clarity starting with themselves--being able to be clear enough on who you are and what you're setting out to do will set the tone for the people you influence and motivate to achieve a certain goal. Listen to this episode to identify the three levels of clarity and how they are demonstrated in leadership. Interested in achieving clarity in your career?

Check out this episode to identify what makes a professional's career recession proof. You'll be surprised to hear that it has nothing to do with updating your resume, going to an unaffected company or sector, or figuring out which leader you need to impress with your new credential. It has everything to do with what type of professional you are and the brand you've created (or not).
