#297 The One Question You Must Ask Before Any Important Conversation
Description
Episode Overview
In today’s episode, I’m diving into a powerful yet often overlooked question that can make or break your preparation for career-defining conversations — whether it's an interview, a performance review, or a high-stakes pitch.
This episode was inspired by a recent conversation with one of my coaching clients who is navigating the Career Change Maker Process. As we discussed an upcoming chat she had with a recruiter, one simple question shifted everything for her and I believe it can do the same for you.
What you'll learn:
- The power and importance of preparing for career advancing conversations in the right way
- How to move from reactive to proactive communication
- Why this one question works across interviews, reviews, and pitches
If you want to show up fully prepared and leave a lasting impression in your next important conversation, this episode is a must-listen.
Action Step:
Before your next career conversation, ask yourself: What do I want them to know about me, my experience, and my expertise by the end of this conversation? Then prepare with that focus in mind.
