Leaders understand it’s okay say no to their management team.

Someone I’m working with used to be afraid to speak up when he saw something wasn’t right. He thought he couldn’t affect change and should just do what he was told.

Read my comment to find out what happened when he finally overcame his fear.

2nd year junior attorney applying to new positions in the Southern California area. Every firm that’s called me to interview are smaller firms with salary ranges of 80-90k. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong — I have had multiple people review my resume, cover letters, etc. It seems like it’s a decently hot market, and I’m just out here getting frustrated.

What’s one thing you’d like to see improve in your current career?

I am incredibly passionate about helping people take their careers to the next level.

If you're stuck in the endless loop of applying for jobs and getting rejected, or getting interviews but no offers, you're reading the right post.

You need to change your strategy to get a different outcome.

If interested DM me you’re email address and I’ll add you to the invite.

If you’re “Networking” you’re doing it wrong.

Would you walk up to someone you’ve never met at a dinner party and ask for their number?

That’s what a connection request without a note is like.

Not interested.

Start a conversation. Be friendly. Be genuine. Be curious. Be respectful. Learn and exchange ideas.

Don’t only reach out when you need a job.

Get to know childrens’ names and favorite vacations.

Be a friend.

Friends aren’t a “network”.

They’re people we care about.

Your mind is like your news feed.

Negative thoughts on repeat is like hitting the “Like” button on negativity:

“I can’t change.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“This is all I know.”

Negative self talk will produce more negative self talk.

You can retrain your brain to ignore negative thoughts and “Like” positive thoughts that help you. When you do, possibilities and productivity increase.

It takes time to change thought patterns.

A coach will get you there faster.

DM me if you need help.

There are no mistakes. There are only signs.

Taking a job that seems interesting at first and later realizing it is not right for you is a sign.

It’s an arrow pointing you away from that type of work.

And knowing what you don’t want helps you get closer to discovering what you do want.

DM me if you need help.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response” -Viktor Frankl

What do you do when you make the wrong career choice?

Forgive yourself. No one is perfect. You are learning. Wrong choices are part of the learning process.

Ask for forgiveness if your choice negatively impacted another.

Work on recognizing the space between stimulus and response. Ask for help if you need it.

All of the above will help you make a better choice next time.

If you want more from your career, but you can’t stop thinking about how stuck you are, you won’t get more from your career.

Thoughts —> Beliefs —> Actions —> Change

1. Think: what would “a better career” look like? Write it down.

2. Believe you deserve it. Believe it’s yours before you have it.

3. Take action:

- Suggest improvements at work
- Look for new job opportunities

4. The change in you already occurred and the next change will be in your career.

Most corporations don’t provide employees with good career planning.

It’s critical have your own #CareerBlueprint.

What are your career and personal goals for this year?

For the next 3 years?

Consider all areas of your life, not just title and compensation:

- Education / Certification
- Free time
- Fitness
- Family
- Vacations
- Retirement

Start with the outcomes you want to achieve and then plan short and long term steps to get there.

What’s your plan? Let me know in the comments.

The cumulative effect of consistently working on your mindset and your #CareerBlueprint will keep your career on track.

How do you clear the mental and emotional noise daily to get clarity?

- Recognize negative thought patterns and deprogram them
- Create positive thought patterns and incorporate them

Your #CareerBlueprint is a 1-3 year plan you create. It leads to fulfillment by aligning your values and desires to the work you do.

First of all, I love that this is a group. This is why I joined this app. Thank you. But I’d love advice on how/were to transition away from banking and finance. Bachelor degree in agriculture, National guardsmen, seeking $75k/yr, ideally remote. I feel stuck and lost because I took a leap of faith to get into banking with no experience and now I have no relative experience in another field/industry to get me out.

If you want a Porsche but you think you can only have a Honda you’re getting a Honda.

Everything we want in life starts with a thought.

Thoughts becomes beliefs.

Beliefs effect our behavior and actions.

Beliefs, behavior and action are our reality.

If you want an exciting, fulfilling career, start thinking about what that looks like for you.

Believe you can have it.

You’re beliefs, behaviors and actions will lead you to it.

If you need help, DM me.

Stop thinking you’re stuck.

Stop thinking you can’t pivot.

Stop thinking it’s too late.

I was 17 years in the restaurant business before I changed to financial services.

Hello, derivatives trader looking to pivot into equity research, does anyone has any recruiting coach agency to recommend ? Thanks a lot !!

Applying to jobs online doesn’t work.

Here’s a better way:

Before a job is posted, it’s talked about among hiring managers and HR.

This is the hidden job market at every company.

You want your name to be in those discussions.

You get your name in those discussions by having conversations with hiring managers and HR at your target companies.

It’s one of the steps in my #CareerBlueprint program which I designed to help get you out of the apply-pray-reject cycle.

Having confidence to take the next step in your career is all about the process.

Thoughts —> Beliefs —> Actions —> Outcomes —> Repeat

This virtuous cycle is a continuous feedback loop that builds on itself.

Focus on positive thoughts and let the negative ones float on by.

When thoughts become beliefs, take action.

Outcomes give you data to help adjust your approach and build confidence.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You can DIY.

A coach will get you there faster.

Careers and the job market have never been more complicated.
