In this journey called career, it's crucial to recognize that not every place is meant for us. Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations or environments that drain our energy, hinder our growth, and prevent us from finding true peace within ourselves. If you're feeling restless, anxious, or constantly battling inner turmoil in your career, it might be a sign that you're in the wrong environment. If this is so, it’s time to take a step back, reassess, and make a change. Do you crave clarity and direction in your career? Look no further! Pick up a copy of my journal and start there! Available on Amazon. Or schedule a call and I will review your resume and discuss steps you can take! Spaces are limited! #intuitivecareercoach

What could cause someone to be "Stuck at Senior Manager" for 12 years?!?!? This happened to Kristi Coulter. She's going to join me to discuss what happened and lessons you can learn to keep your career moving. Kristi's book, Exit Interview, tells her story. It's a brutally honest memoir of her Amazon journey. She and I will talk at 6 PM US PST on Feb 19 about why she was stuck and what others can do to succeed. I'm excited for my discussion with Kristi because I specialize in helping people get from Senior Manager to Director. Kristi had big jobs and accomplished amazing things, including shipping new products, launching a whole new book imprint for Amazon, and more. Yet reorganizations, VPs with unreasonable standards, sexism, and other factors we will discuss mean that she was never fully recognized or promoted. If you feel stuck in your career, this talk is a must: 1) Hear how and why Kristi ultimately moved on rather than keep chasing a promotion that was not coming 2) Hear my contrasting story, of how I was promoted, and our discussion of what might or might not have been possible in Kristi's case to change her outcome Read her book: "Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career": https://lnkd.in/gNuXrJdP Register for the talk (one of many benefits exclusive for our paid Level Up Career Community, worth signing up just for this single talk if you are feeling stuck in your career): https://lu.ma/ykq6nfze Every month in our Career Book Club we select a book, read it, and discuss it, often with the author present. In this case, Kristi is happy to join and she will add tremendously to the discussion. Sign up for my course: Stuck at Senior Manager: Breaking Through to Executive. Talking to Kristi is part of my ongoing research to make sure I help others get through this tough promotion and go on to become successful executives.

Wherever you are in your career, it is only a matter of time before it becomes an "ex-". Example: ex-McKinsey, ex-Amazon, etc. The glory of the brand is transient. So focus more on who you want to be and what you want to achieve. Preferably by using the present create a glorious future. What is one thing you can do today that can propel you to a better career? #careers #careergrowth #personaldevelopment

In every interview I ask the same two questions. The answers never disappoint. 👇 Question 1 ☝ If you could only share one big career win with me, what would it be? Question 2 ✌ What is your biggest career flop? And then I follow each question with... Knowing what you know now, what would you do differently? You learn a lot about a candidate this way. Can they tell a compelling story? Do they swing for big or not so big projects? What's their risk tolerance? How do they analyze data? What do they value in terms of input & output? Are they resourceful? Do they work well with others? Are they learners? Do they value or fear failure? How long ago was their big win -- do they continue to push themselves? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It's amazing how many people try to hide their flops. But to me, someone who can swing and miss -- but keep on swinging is a special breed. And typically, those are the people that smash it out of the park when they do hit it. Don't be afraid to flop. Sometimes, it's a fast track to winning. One of my biggest flops was a failed video for Amazon when Levi and I were at VidArmy. If we got it right, there was MASSIVE upside. Absolutely massive. But we didn't get it right. And we lost a MASSIVE deal. But we learned from that, went back to Amazon, and saved the relationship. One of my biggest flops ended up being one of my biggest wins because we learned from the experience and took immediate action. Here's the story 👇

Recruiter: Sam Altman, can you explain why there is a 24-hour gap in your employment history...? Anyone else think that it’s a matter of time until we get a Netflix documentary on this whole OpenAI saga? The board that fired him has been dismantled and a new one created (with only one original board member on it). I’m sure everyone else’s LinkedIn feed has been swamped with this but I think it’s important to highlight that the board wanted Sam Altman out, fired him but the people revolted, wanted him back and were prepared to drop everything and follow him out the door if he did not return as CEO. The people you employ MAKE your business what it is. This is a big learning opportunity/takeaway for everyone in leadership positions when making hiring/firing decisions. #OpenAI #SamAltman #Hiring

I came across this book yesterday on Amazon. I thought it was a joke. My first reaction was that EVERYONE knows how to read a tape measure. And that everybody can tell time from an analog clock. And then it struck me. So many of the things that it’s easy to take for granted aren’t second nature for many people: ➡️ Building relationships that aren’t transactional. ➡️ Giving generously. ➡️ Helping others develop. ➡️ Realizing that life’s not a zero-sum game. ➡️ Asking for feedback. ➡️ Giving valuable feedback politely. ➡️ Conveying your personal brand without being an a$$hole. All these skills come into play in your career and when you’re searching for a job. And seeing this book reinforced that I must never take for granted that the people who seek my help know any of this. You can bet I’ll always be sure to cover the fundamentals. ________________ Hi.

"I think an embarrassing amount of how well you do [in your career] has to do with attitude. Do you work hard? Are you more can-do than nay-saying? Do you show up on time? Do you do what you said you were going to do? Can you work on a team? Those things seem so simple, and there’s so many things you can’t control in your work life, but you can control your attitude." Our CEO, Andy Jassy, sat down for an exclusive interview with LinkedIn’s CEO, Ryan Roslansky, to talk about his unique career journey, including his top 3 pieces of career advice. You definitely want to check it out! ⬇️ What career advice would you give to someone?

4 years at Dell flew by. And I’m excited for the next steps in my career. It’s funny reminiscing on being unemployed 6+ months after graduation. - Failing 50+ interviews. - Having an "ugly" man bun throughout the whole process. - To advancing 4 roles in my first 2.5 years. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve had lots of people reach out and ask “What’s next”…so I figured I’d share. I’m taking a “mini-sabbatical” and doubling down on skills I’ve been wanting to build. Specifically copywriting, marketing, and entrepreneurship. I’ll sharpen them through a one-of-a-kind coaching program to help the next generation of sellers land jobs with top companies. The sales “bootcamp” model is dead so I decided to create the antithesis to help young professionals land jobs with industry leaders to get a head start in their careers. Whether I decide to get back in a W2 soon or not, having this avenue to push myself excites me. Looking forward to posting more regularly and helping others transform their careers.

Taking a break from our weekly Do's and Dont's to remind you that you're not alone in finding the job hunt incredibly frustrating - no matter how many tips and tricks you read. Our CEO and co-founder Vrijen Attawar has been there many times. He knows what a huge drain it is on your time, on your energy, and on your self-confidence - and that's before submitting an application into a "black box" of getting ghosted and nonexistent feedback. Remember: You are more than a piece of paper. #mondaymotivation #jobhuntingsucks #recruiting #careersearch
