Unasked for advice for Creatives (especially those with less than 5 years of experience): when deciding whether to stay put or take a new job that doesn't include a huge bump in salary but will let you produce great work you can bank on later in your career, GO FOR THE WORK and the money will come. Go for the money and you might get trapped in a place where you'll never have the chance to do great work. #careeradvice #creatives #advertising #PR #communications

If you miss this, you will miss out on some important tools for your transition success.

Grateful for my journey with Kelly, from Recruiting Strategist to Account Manager. Despite setbacks, I trusted in God's plan and persevered. Honored to join team Tuscaloosa and excited for the partnership with Tuscaloosa County Schools. Remember: what's meant for you will come, setbacks lead to better opportunities, and never stop learning. Huge thanks to mentors, colleagues, and managers for their support. Excited for what the future holds!

Here's a quick report from our founder about the most recent end of course graduation at HMP Wandsworth.

An exert from my Friday message to our veteran community at WM... It’s RED FRIDAY…Remember Everyone Deployed! I have my RED T-shirt on with my RED New Jersey Devils hat. One game down in the hockey season and we are off to a good start. The Devils take on the Desert Dogs (AZ Coyotes) tonight. Some of you may know that I work and manage the Innovative Employment Program (IEP) that has a veteran component/focus included. I have been having great discussions about the expansion of IEP, National Guard partnerships, SkillBridge and other components to the program. So, I have had a reduced presence in the VALOR chat over the last two-weeks, but it does not minimize my appreciation and recognition of the folks that are “bringing it” every day to help the veteran community right here. Let me take a minute to talk about the word RECOGNITION for a moment. In my doctorate study I focused on multiple generations in the workplace, bringing them together to work as a cohesive team and achieve extraordinary results with the number one goal of retaining the folks you have in your organization. Recognition comes up a lot. It’s not about free food ( I do love that!) or “stuff”. It can be as simple as recognizing people who come to work daily (SEE THEM), leaving their families and choosing to be a part of the organization. Saying “thank you”, “please”, “good job”, “nice effort” is a RECOGNITION of the contribution. When you show up to work recognize others did the same! And, yes, I believe people work for money, but money provides safety and security and conditional happiness. Appreciation adds fuel to an employee’s drive and is confirmed with a paycheck. Today, I recognize the VALOR group, my teammates/co-workers, the leaders above me that I want to make shine by doing the job they entrust me to do at a high level. I recognize not all jobs are created equal or with equal effort required but all jobs done are important.

What I learned in the new gig Month 2: 1. Anyone's personal opinion of the move aside, the the real estate development around the Braves' new stadium is really incredible and a model for what franchises with available capital and land should replicate. And no, the firm would not let me wear my Guardians shirt to the game. Sackings may or may not occur. (An unofficial rule of being from Ohio is you wear Ohio team gear to everything; it's a sickness). 2. If I had to give advice to attorneys that want to get into commercial leasing, one piece of same would be to build and protect your reputation as someone who does things the right way (self-awareness note: I am imperfect at this like every other human). One way to do so is to treat people with respect, even in adversarial transactions. Everyone is a future client, but everyone is a past client too. This past month was the first time a party whom I was opposite many times in their operating capacity asked me to represent them for some owned assets. I was honored. 3. Greta Van Vleet kicks some serious @$$. I'm less late to that party than I was to The Replacements. They sound like what you would get if Led Zeppelin and The Black Crowes circa 1990 had a baby.

In the spirit of yesterday's celebration of St. Patrick's Day, let's reflect on luck. Luck, often viewed as an unpredictable force shaping our lives, can sometimes lead us to overlook our own agency. While luck certainly plays a role in life's twists and turns, relying solely on it can limit our potential. Instead, let's embrace the power of ownership. Taking responsibility for our experiences and actions empowers us to shape our own destinies. When we acknowledge the stories we tell ourselves, we cultivate a mindset of introspect and growth. Rather than leaving things to chance, let's seize the reins of our lives. Cheers to creating our own rainbow! #growth #selfleadership #emotionalintelligence #unlimitedpossibilities
