Employers can often do better when it comes to making the candidate lifecycle more accessible. Glad to see that some major companies like Microsoft, Dell, and Ford are paving the way. I wonder who will be next? #accessibility #techforgood #employertrends

If you're a working professional, you've likely recognized the importance of leveraging data to tell a story or make a business case. At Georgetown University McDonough School of Business, the MSBA program helps graduate students understand how to use data in various ways to grow their careers at their current organization, or make a pivot to a new role or industry. One of the many great traits of the MSBA is that it is designed for working professionals, so you don't need to leave your job to invest in your future.

✨ One of the greatest joys of serving as a coach is receiving unsolicited client updates. This one popped into my inbox earlier this week from a client who recently navigated a move to a new state and landed a job within a short time frame of being in his new city: "Thank you so very much for helping me through this process. I'm really proud of how my resumes turned out and for learning how to market myself in new ways. None of this would have been possible without your intelligent guidance and your support." Grateful to do this work and wishing everyone a happy 4th of July! 🎇 #coaching #testimonials

I'm excited to share that I have joined Georgetown University McDonough School of Business as Director of Career Services supporting students and alumni of McDonough's Graduate and Executive Education programs!

As I prepare to begin my new role with Georgetown University McDonough School of Business next week, I'm reminding myself how fortunate I have been to have this time away from work. The days haven't always been easy, but looking back this time has been helpful in a variety of ways. Here are three lessons that I hope can be helpful for those currently navigating a career pivot: 1️⃣ When designing your job search plan, start with what you want to have happen in a day for you to feel at your best. Lead with things like walks outside, time with friends, yoga/meditation, reading, or any hobby that fills your cup. 2️⃣ If you're a caretaker, as has been the case for me, focus on identifying what you're grateful for, instead of letting the worry thoughts take over. Easier said than done. 3️⃣ When you're identifying the list of organizations you're curious about, look at the organization from a wider lens. Consider areas like culture fit, longevity of current employees, opportunities for growth, and if it's a start-up, try to get a sense of where the funding comes from. Keeping the focus only on a specific role is limiting and the more expansive you can let your mind be, the better. Lastly, be gentle with yourself. This is a challenging market AND people are still landing fantastic jobs. The more you're able to focus on what's ahead of you - building connections, upskilling/reskilling, finding ways to give back, the easier the hours, days, and weeks ahead will be. #careercoach #transitions #powerofpositivity

💭 The other day in a coaching session, a client asked me how I decide what to post on LinkedIn. I've been asked this question before, but hadn't given it the thought that it deserves. 📈 If you're looking to grow your presence on LinkedIn, here are a few questions to help you decide what content you might want to share: 1️⃣ Is the content timely/relevant for your current industry/network, or that which you're looking to pivot into? 2️⃣ Is the content something that invites conversation or sparks new ideas? 3️⃣ Is the content something that YOU can get behind/support? 4️⃣ Is the content adding value in some way? Either for your brand personally, or for the brand of your organization/clients? Also, a gentle reminder that sharing content does not mean generating original copy each time. A re-post of something that you find useful with a brief explanation and/or a nod to the original author can go a long way in building your online presence, too! 💝 Bonus tip: if posting on LinkedIn feels uncomfortable, ask a few people in your network to engage with your content - before you post it. Soon enough, the nerves will dissipate and you'll be growing your network in a way that feels authentic to who you are. #careercoaching #linkedintips

For the past three years, I’ve worked in a remote-first environment. So, when my former General Assembly colleague turned friend Rachel Walker told me that a work conference was bringing her to DC, it was a no brainer to be her airport Uber and to enjoy her company after years of virtual collaboration! We celebrated our new roles, and our friendship that formed entirely online. As I say to my clients, celebrate every win, no matter how small or large. 🎉

☕️There are few things better than waking up to an email like this from a recent coaching client: “Just circling back to say how great it was to work with you. Today’s session gave me so many tools and a lot of perspective. Thank you for your time and for being who you are and your expertise.” ✨Grateful to be in a space where I can help people get curious, connect the dots, and recognize what they are capable of. #careercoaching #wins
