📌 Go in with a willingness to learn new things.  📌 Act with integrity—always—no matter what is going on around you. 📌 Do the little things without being asked, and without reporting that you did them.    Are you looking for ways to stand out and earn more responsibility—not to mention the respect of those above and around you?

Excited to announce my studio's next in-person retreat on July 27th (9am-4pm)! This time, we'll be prioritizing career development! Workshop topics include: - Advocating and negotiating for yourself - Identifying when to move on - Exploring what's next (career pivots) - Utilizing the Gallup CliftonStrengths - Updating resumes and cover letters

When was the last time you reflected on the opportunities that shaped who you are today? We often overlook the pivotal moments - like the excitement of a job offer or the lessons from entry-level roles. Our experiences mold us, guiding us towards who we aspire to be and who we choose not to emulate. In my journey, I've embraced being a "rebel" in my field, advocating for the mission's true purpose over misguided interpretations. It's crucial to uphold your integrity, even when faced with pressures to conform. Stay true to your values, be unconventional, and uphold the mission's integrity above all else. #Reflect #Integrity #CareerJourney

The work with non-profit I started is really rewarding. This journey is different and more impactful than I expected. I thought that the non-profit would be B2C serving students through scholarships, books and mentoring. Instead, the non-profit is B2B partnering with schools to serve students through mentoring. I recently posted some of my favorite anecdotes to the Foundation's site: "While our meetings at 1 p.m. on Mondays made my schedule a bit busier, they always left me feeling empowered because each lesson was meaningful. The skills and insights I gained prepared me for my professional life and gave me valuable tips for succeeding in interviews."   "My mentor shared valuable advice that is relevant for preparing my group and I for a future career, life after college, and how to navigate this last year of undergrad. The steps that my mentor took during our meetings includes relating each week's topic to real world topics and previous meetings, connecting with each other on LinkedIn, and so on. These meetings resulted in a new professional connection and advice that I will remember throughout life."    "One positive realization I came to at the end of our meeting is that if you never try, you will never know. It is better to try something new in a career or in life than regret it later on. This experience has been so rewarding and I gained many new friends as well as a wonderful mentor through this experience."

Career journeys rarely follow a linear path from internships to executive roles, and zigzagging or even taking a step down the ladder can be a path to success. At each step, there’s potential to gain valuable insights to navigate your career. Read insights from four executives, who uncover the key lessons they wish they had learned earlier in their careers.

Are you excited to be aged 18 and above? Maybe you shouldn't be overtly excited. You ask me why? Being an adult is not about being independent and out of control of others. One of the benefits you had while you were below 18 is that you had many people, especially your parents, looking out for your best interest, giving you stipends, connecting the dots for you when you knew literally nothing. Now that you are an adult and want to feel in control, it is time to identify by yourself, what is lacking and what you need to learn for yourself. Whether you lacked soft skills, technical competence, need to advance in education (Masters program), need a mentor or coach, or whatever. You must now take responsibility for your growth. I have learnt this the hard way sometimes going through difficult experiences at workplace, and many times the soft way by simply learning from those who have gone ahead, who will let me know what works and what doesn't. That is why we are having this conversation in our next webinar: "Navigating Career Advancement and Leadership" It is open to all, yet closed circle because you have to register using this link 👇 https://lnkd.in/evxyjW7A You don't have to learn the hard way, feeling like you have been deceived after some years of working. See you on Friday at the webinar. Also share this with your friends and network.

Have a great weekend! Enjoy this week’s Career Tip on “Seasons of our Careers”. “Take time to assess what season your career is in . We each can experience different seasons in our career and businesses. Some seasons bring periods of growth, new experiences and opportunities? Others can bring a large amount of change or may feel stagnant. Which season are you currently experiencing in your career? Determine if you need to make any changes to further support your growth & success.” Kaisha McCrea, Career, Executive & Leadership Coach and Consultant #careers #weekend #careercoaching #leadershipcoaching #growingperspectives Mike King Stacy Gregory Tracy Girard Karen Tignor Karen Rodriguez
