Be Nice to People

Be Nice. It won’t be the first time you heard this advice that’s for sure. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people talk about the importance of being nice to others, and how many different ways there are to say this. So, what I will share with you instead is a little story that stuck in my mind ever since the day it was told to me by the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company. This CEO and I were in an interview and I’d just asked him a pretty standard question along the lines of, ‘What’s important to you?’. He answered that being nice to people was...

The thing that changes everything on a job search, Is when you get that email or call saying Yes, You’re Hired or See You Monday Morning. No doubt about it, ‘that call’ is a big thing.

A meeting that could only take place because of an earlier conversation. Working back...

Careers as a Career Choice

I like being a Careers Consultant because every conversation starts with me needing to think about what the other person wants, and carries on that way too.

Lightbulb Moments

My most recent lightbulb moment happened this morning, so I thought I’d tell you about it. I talk to lots of people about their careers but I make a point of keeping a close eye on my own career too. I’ve always thought it would be crazy to spend all of my time asking other people what they want, and never to think about this for myself. [How would I ever know what other people were thinking or feeling if I shied away from the big career questions, or pretended they didn’t affect me just because I work in careers?] Last week I spoke to a group of people about their...
