A special interview with Pim de Morree from the Corporate Rebels. Pim has spent the past few years interviewing amazing companies around the world. These stories are shared in their new book Corporate Rebels.Today, Pim shares the mission of the Corporate Rebels, talks about some of the great companies he has visited, and what makes them stand out. He also gives you a glimpse of what you need to do to be the type of person some of these amazing companies would want to hire. A bit about the Corporate Rebels:Four years ago, Joost Minnaar and Pim de Morree gave up promising careers. Frustrated with the slow, boring corporate world, they were determined to find and study organizations that could make work fun. They called themselves The Corporate Rebels.After compiling a Bucket List of workplace pioneers, they traveled the world in the quest for ideas. They interviewed management gurus. They studied progressive organizations. They learned from academics who confirmed that many organizations are organized in hopelessly old-fashioned ways. More hopefully, they found clear evidence that success for both companies and employees was possible—based on freedom and mutual trust.Links:Corporate Rebels WebsiteCorporate Rebels Bucket ListCorporate Rebels BookSubscribe & Review in iTunesIf you like it, would you share and review it?

Breakin’ the rules. That is what we are always doing here at Deviant Thinking. What rules am I talking about? All of those should’s and the conventional wisdom that is driving you crazy and limiting your career. Rule-breakers move ahead. Rule-breakers get noticed. And Rule-breakers flourish.Rules are sneaky devils. They show up where we least expect them. They masquerade as protection, but what they really do is shackle our dreams and abilities. Today we explore rule-breaking. How do we identify these pesky buggers? What do we do with them? And how do we tell our well-meaning, rule-following, friends & family to take a hike when we want to break a rule. This is not an episode to tell you to do something illegal or immoral! On the contrary, the only crime here is you not living your life to the fullest. Check Out These Highlights:(00:50) What do I mean by rules?(04:26) How do we look at the rules that we need to break?’(06:13) My favorite rule breaking question.

We all know we need a resume. Oh, but the excuses we all have for procrastinating this vital task. No one wants to be caught with an outdated resume, but somehow we never seem to find the time to chunk one out. Today, I am going to share why it is essential to have an updated resume, what makes a modern and compelling resume, and how to capture your data, so you have everything you need. I promise this won’t be boring or the same old advice.Check Out These Highlights:(01:19) I promise you, if you put a resume together without intention, without sitting down and figuring out who you are, what you want to do, and what you want to contribute to the world, you will attract a job that doesn't align with you. So it is really important to find that a resume is the outcome of some great soul searching as opposed to the input into a job search.(05:41) It is a great time to kind of collect those thoughts, remember what you're doing and really start to build a collection of data that you can work from to create your resume.(08:26) A resume really should be the output of the really simple question of how do I show my credentials and where I'm going so that I can really choose who I want to be when I grow up.(12:34) So how do you know what to share on a resume?(15:46) Every bullet that's on your resume, you should be super proud of. You should smile when you read what you've accomplished and you should just be jazzed about it.(16:25)Share the scope of the work that you do and the complexities of it help people to understand who you are and the things that you juggle in your life.(22:55) Make the sloppy copy, then come in and really refine it.(25:14) For you folks who haven't written a resume in 30 years…Links:#3 – Company Culture – Are you a Fit?Subscribe & Review in iTunesAre you subscribed to my podcast?

When it comes to building a successful career, there’s no doubt that you’re going to have to get out there and network. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to love it! Today, I share strategies and real-world advice to help make Networking “not a dirty word.”You and I both know how much time it takes to cultivate a great network, right? Hours, if not days, of follow up, events, and putting yourself out there. But to be successful, your mindset is critical.

So, I share my strategies and tips for successful networking. I challenge you to take these strategies and make them your own.

Company culture; the current hot buzzword of companies. It is used as a carrot to attract top talent. And as a stick to use as an excuse as to why someone didn’t get the job. It is a bit all over the place.What does company culture really mean? And what is the impact on you? How is it defined? And most importantly, how can you evaluate to know if you want to be apart of that team?Today we explore company culture and how you align with it or not — no stuffing you into a box, like an oversized down comforter.This is not an episode to tell you to change who you are to fit in! On the contrary, it is about you becoming clear on who you are and figuring out if the company you work for or may want to work with is in alignment with you.Today I will share with you how to evaluate that very elusive thing: culture fit. I will give you some sure-fire ways to compare you and the company. Including my super-secret, favorite question to determine the culture of an organization. Hint it isn’t, “What is the company culture like?” All that gets you is the same dish of tuna that they serve everyone, and it usually stinks. Check Out These Highlights:(01:11) Corporate culture is defined by two things. It is defined by the values of the corporation and by their voice.02:03) Living our values, and exercising them every day, is when we as human beings flourish. Learn how to define your values. (05:14) So now the flip side for a corporation, how do you look at a corporation's values?(07:18) What does voice have to do with culture? It's kind of a weird way to define it. I'm always looking at things from a little bit different perspective. To me, voice is the energy of the organization and a lot of ways it's the how they show up.(10:43) I want to make sure as I go to an organization, I'm able to speak in that voice because if not, I'm really capping myself.(12:08) So here's the nugget for today and it's how do you actually find this information and how do you evaluate it?
