Transitions: When Careers and Life Goals Adjust for the World Around Us For most of us, there are very few constants in our lives. We often find ourselves in a fairly constant state of transition. No matter how much we try to plan for or manage our lives and our careers, things will change. How we manage the transition from where we were to where we are going is best supported with some guardrails to keep us on a positive path. Many transitions don’t surprise us. They are

Some of life’s most joyful moments are when we realize we have learned just as much from those we teach. Years ago, my middle school son came home, bursting with excitement to share a revelation—a rare moment, and one I cherished. He told me, “Dad, the answer is seven.” That conviction caught my attention. I paused and asked, “That’s great. What’s the question?” He slowed, thoughtful. “What do most great leaders in history have in common? They had about six or seven people by

When people hear the term personal brand, they often think of logos, taglines, or marketing campaigns. But your personal brand is much more personal—it’s the story others tell about you when you’re not in the room. It’s how people experience you, what they remember about working with you, and what they seek you out for. In short, your personal brand is what you are known for. And here’s the important part: whether or not you actively manage it, you have a personal brand. Ever

We all have something special within us—a unique quality that makes us stand out.

But I believe there’s something even more personal. It is a trait that sits at the core of who you are. It is a kind of “magic” only you can bring. How Do You Find It? For years, I’ve helped people prepare for interviews and big opportu

We all have networks of people who play important roles in our lives and our careers. We are fortunate to have people who support us and remind us of what we are capable of accomplishing, who challenge us to never to stop growing, who advise us when we need guidance, and who hold us up when we face the unexpected. There are so many ways we can support each other. There so many roles we all play in our personal and business networks. I would like to focus on four of those ro

So, let’s take this idea of allyship a step further. Having a network of sisters and brothers is not just important for support and guidance. This world can be extremely unfair. There are times when circumstances and people are so misaligned with where we are going, with who we are and how we make a difference in this world. These are times where action on our part is required to realign what is broken. People can be selfish. People can be bullies. People can have preju

I don’t know many successful leaders who built their careers in a vacuum. We build our careers with people around us. We can’t always control what people will be around us at any given time in our career. Some of the people we work with everyday are incredible and we can’t wait to make a difference as a team. Some people we work with are challenging, we don’t connect well with a few of them, and some people actually get in the way of making a difference as a team. I would
