With so many people looking for new opportunities now is a great time, I think. Add to that the need to re/upskill for “green jobs” and as a consequence to the growing integration of AI and it’s an area that will continue to grow.

Re: networking, success rates, etc it depends on who you want to help. Have you thought about industry/demographic, etc?

Starting a community would be the best way.

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

I firmly believe leadership makes the difference.

Not only, it highlins each one's value, but especially spreads this value among others.

Looking for any kind of suggestion to improve my leadership: books, experiences, attitudes, daily-routine, ...

Thank you!
