Underrated part of the hiring process? Onboarding. It can set employees up for success or failure — right at the onset. In the case of Amazon? (Market capitalization $1.5 trillion). Their onboarding process has been replicated across 30 countries. So when Alex Simmons got the chance to speak to Donna Alexander about managing this process at Amazon…we were immediately “on board” (😉). Learn how one of the biggest companies in the world brings new employees on deck, and how you can incorporate some of it into your company's onboarding process. (Hint: It has something to do with personalization at scale, which we also know a little about).

In the early stages of Boon Coach Kathleen Fariss, ACC, MSLM's career, she struggled. It felt like everyone around her had a 5-10 year plan. But she didn’t. She wasn’t in the driver seat of her career. It was driving her, instead. But like anything, trial and error got her closer to the heart of what she wanted. When she started doing a 6-month check-in with herself… She realized how the little things, like her workspace, mattered to her. And the more deep and introspective her questions became — The more she subconsciously shaped the kind of career she actually desired. So here’s Kathleen’s curated list. Feel free to use it as your “temp-check” every 6 months to a year. And think about whether you’re content with your answers: Celebrations in 12 Months What achievements are you celebrating a year from now? Your Workspace As you walk into your workspace, what do you see? Packing for Success What's in your suitcase when packing for a special work event? 90-Day Career Plan What does your 90-day career onboarding plan look like? 2025 Annual Review Reflect on your 2025 annual review. What did you achieve, and how will you measure success? Proud Moments What would you share if your partner asked what you're most proud of in December 2024? Networking at a Conference At a conference in October 2024, you spot someone you'd like on your board of directors – what do you ask them? Role Models and Networks Who are your role models in your network? Who's missing? Next Career Move What next action must you take to propel your career forward? What support do you require? Skill Elevation What new skill do you want to learn to elevate your career? Don’t know what success looks like for you? These questions might help you crystallize that image. And force you to make the plan to achieve it. Good luck. Let us know if you could use a coach to help you along ✌️.

Reminder that personalized coaching can be a real Boon to your employees.

You either take a backseat to your career, or you’re the driver. We’re taught to follow orders and step-by-step instructions, but this doesn’t necessarily lead to a flourishing career. Sometimes, taking control of your career means applying some (compassionate) pressure on yourself to be introspective. If you want to be the driver—ask yourself these 10 questions, curated by Boon coach Kathleen Fariss, ACC, MSLM ⬇️

Cheers to freedom and fireworks. Happy 4th of July from all of us at Boon!
