Wondered how people move into positions that you didn't even see advertised?Feel uninspired by the roles available online?Would you rather stick pins in your eyes than upload another CV to an online job portal?Unsure how to get on the radar of the right people? And how to position yourself?You are not alone. However, it doesn't have to be this way...Over the years I have supported 1000s of people, from entry-level to first-time CEO, as they make bold steps in their careers.  What I have observed in my time is just how few people know how to approach job hunting.  Plugging your CV into online portals or relying on recruiters alone is not enough if you want to nail the job you really want.As you progress your career, the number of leadership roles available drop, so you need to step things up and get a little more creative and strategic!That's why I love sharing and working with people to approach this process.  If done right, it can be an incredibly empowering process and give you a boost of confidence.  Now how does that sound?Well, let's get you started!  On today's (slightly longer) podcast episode I share how you can start job hunting like a pro and approach your job search strategically and confidently, so you can land the role you really want.To make sure you get the most out of this episode, I have pulled together a workbook so you can start putting the learnings into practice right away.  Click the link here to access: https://www.jennfenwick.com/job-hunting-like-a-proEnjoy!JennWhere to find Jenn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennfenwick/Send me a message on LinkedIn to find out more about my PRIVATE COACHING

How do you approach goal setting?As a coach who first started coaching in the sporting world, I have seen firsthand the power of visualisation in pushing the boundaries and achieving your goals.When it comes to January, many people focus on work goals and throw in some resolutions for good measure.  However, these can drop off fairly quickly and feel like something you “should do” vs building a compelling vision of what you are “inspired to do”.In this episode I share how you can build a more holistic vision for your year, setting goals that are motivational across both work and life.  How you approach January can set you up for an incredible year ahead; so find that clarity around your aspirations and start laying the foundations now.Enjoy!JennWhere to find Jenn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennfenwick/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chatswithjenn/Send me a message on LinkedIn to find out more about my PRIVATE COACHING

Starting a new leadership role is a rollercoaster regardless of experience level.It might be your first management role or your first time as an Exec.It might be an internal promotion or joining a whole new organisation.A secondment, an international placement, or a return from parental leave.Regardless, leadership “transitions” are full of complexities (and anxieties).So, what if you knew you could transition with ease and confidence, setting yourself up for success early on?In this episode I share how to navigate transitions with ease and confidence.  I hope it changes the way you approach new roles, and encourages you to raise your hand earlier for future positions and challenges!Enjoy!JennWhere to find Jenn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennfenwick/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chatswithjenn/Send me a message on LinkedIn to find out more about my PRIVATE COACHING

Who are your role models? What is it about these individuals that has inspired you?What have you learnt from them?What impact have they had on your career and life?Role-modelling is a topic I cover with all of my leaders; it is a game-changer in helping leaders truly embody who they want to be as a leader and how they show up and behave.In episode 2 of season 2 of my #chatswithjenn podcast I explore the power of role-models and share one of my greatest role-models, and how this person has helped me to carve my own path in my career over the years.Enjoy!JennWhere to find Jenn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennfenwick/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chatswithjenn/Send me a message on LinkedIn to find out more about my PRIVATE COACHING
