No one ever said the job market was fair. That's even more true in the current economy which has been plagued with layoff after layoff. Now, in this race for a new job, some candidates are clearly driving race cars, while others are struggling to make it around the job search track with an underpowered engine or even a flat tire. Why is that? Let me play with this metaphor for a bit, starting with the diagram below. Note: I go into a lot more detail in the podcast recording. So, scroll up, hit play, and listen. You can think of “Capability” as the engine of the race car. It includes:* Talent* Skills* Knowledge* Experience“Drive” is one of the tires. It includes:* Grit* Determination* Persistence* Confidence* Consistency“Reputation” is the second tire. It includes:* Your professional brand* What people say about you* What you're known for* Your proof “Interview” is the third tire. It includes:* Your job interview process* Your interviewing skills* Communication skills* Presentation skills* Questions asked* Follow upFinally, “Champion” is the last tire. It includes:* Your inside champion* Inside connections * Inside influencersLighting it all up to get hiredThree of my clients and community members recently landed new jobs:* One leveraged networking, finding an inside champion, and my 1-on-1 coaching to create a new role that hadn't existed before. They also negotiated a higher level and a lot more compensation! * Another used networking, my coaching, and my Career Accelerator to land a job with a former colleague that was in the “hidden job market.” * Finally, the last person used my Career Accelerator, some of my coaching, and an inside champion to land a great new job in Silicon Valley.Weak engine of CapabilitySometimes, your engine is underpowered for the role you're seeking. I always encourage people to stretch themselves, but do so within reason. Flat tire of ReputationYou may have everything else going for you, but people know you're a pain to manage and worth with. The industry is always smaller than you think, and people talk. However, you can repair your reputation and get back in the game. Flat tire of DriveGrit and determination will often carry the day. But, if you lack confidence, don't consistently put in the work, and give up too soon, you'll find it hard to land jobs that others do. Flat tire of the ChampionI frequently talk about the power of having an inside champion. Champions, influencers, and insiders can tip the balance of a job interview in your favor. Just ask my clients who leveraged them to land great jobs quickly! But, if your Champion tire is flat, be prepared for a long, slow crawl in the job search race. Flat tire of the InterviewYou could have everything else set up, but still bomb the interview. No champion can save you if you don't prepare well enough. Your capabilities and reputation won't matter if you can't demonstrate your knowledge, experience, and wisdom while speaking with the interviewers. I don't care how much drive you have. It won't help if you can't communicate well, present well, and generally interview strongly. Winning the job search race Light up your engine, and all four tires, and you'll be well on your way to speeding around the track and landing your next great job!

Peer-to-peer mentorship is an underutilized tool that can significantly accelerate career development, particularly for those from underrepresented communities in sales and marketing. Being both a mentor and a mentee can accelerate learning and provide new perspectives. However, there is a misconception that early career professionals may not have much to offer.To make the most of peer-to-peer mentorship, make sure to align to one's own goals and values and pairing up with someone who shares similar ones. Open communication, trust, and vulnerability were noted as critical to building a strong relationship. Setting clear expectations, balancing interaction, and holding each other accountable were also seen as important.Chapters0:00:00The Value of Peer to Peer Mentorship in Sales and Marketing Career Development0:02:12Creating a Successful Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Relationship: Tips and Benefits0:04:04Tips for Building and Maintaining Professional Relationships in Sales and Marketing Follow us at: www.cascadingleadership.comlinkedin.com/in/drjimklinkedin.com/in/1lawrenceobrown

Invincible Career® is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber."It used to be so easy for me to get a new job. I didn't even have to look or try. People came to me! But, now? Now I'm struggling to get to the final round and I haven't received any offers in over a year? Something has changed…" — My new clientMy coaching client was pretty unhappy about this twist of fate. That wonderful well of endless jobs had surprisingly dried up. Many smart and talented people have this experience. Getting a job in their 20s was easy. Almost too easy.It was so easy that they never bothered to think about a career plan or create an intentional career path. Employers were plentiful and the job market was bountiful. Heck, jobs were falling out of the sky and landing in their laps It would always be like this, right?Wrong.The wild ride will come to an end, sooner for some people than others. If you haven't mapped out a plan, put yourself in the driver's seat, and controlled your path and destiny, you might find yourself kicked to the curb.Ageism is real, folks. Age discrimination is illegal, but it's incredibly difficult to prove. You'll simply notice that people are no longer actively seeking you out and trying to recruit you for roles.Sitting back and waiting to see what happens in your career isn't a great strategy. Do you see yourself as more of a driver or passenger on your journey?* Are you just along for the ride in your career?* Do you feel like your career happened to you serendipitously?Most people let their careers "just happen." They don't give much thought to planning their career path, looking for the best employers, and controlling their future until something goes wrong. Suddenly, they notice that: * They're being passed over for promotions. * It's taking longer to find new jobs.* Their career growth is slowing down.* Their raises have flatlined.* They're feeling unhappy, stressed, anxious, worried, and unfulfilled.Eventually, they ask themselves:"Is this really what I should be doing with my life?What's going wrong?How do I get back on a good path?" Create an intentional pathWhere do you want your life to be in 20 years? Can you get there more quickly? Let me stop for a moment and make something clear. I am not suggesting that you create a rigid 30-year career path and follow it from the start to the bitter end. We don't do that anymore, right? If you are thoughtful and intentional during your journey, you will learn more about who you are and what you really want from life. You will change your mind, and that's ok. It seems like I change my career plans and path about every 10 years. While the thought of changing professions and careers may make some people feel stressed out, I find it exciting. Rather than selecting a point in the future that's attached to a specific profession or financial outcome (e.g., I must be a CEO, a billionaire, or a famous author), I prefer to ask people to envision a life they would find interesting, exciting, delightful, and fulfilling. * Where do they live? * How do they spend their days working? * How do they spend time playing? * Who are they spending their life with? When you have a plan in mind, you'll notice more opportunities that can help you with your journey. I created a 91-page Invincible Career Manual for my clients that we collaboratively complete and review. It's meant to evolve with you and be updated as your career grows and changes. * If you're already one of my clients, ping me to make sure you find your customized copy of the manual in our shared Google Drive folder.* If you're a member of my Career Accelerator, I'll share a link to get your free copy of the manual in our private Slack channel. * If you're a premium subscriber to this newsletter, I'll share a link to get your free copy of the manual in our Office Hours channel on Slack. If you subscribe to the free version of this newsletter, use this link to get 20% off and download your own copy of the Invincible Career Manual! You can start using it right away to plan what you want for your career this year and beyond. Design your ideal lifestyle One way to create a better career path is to focus on life design first. Design your lifestyle and then find a career that enables it. I'm not talking about the lifestyles of the rich and shameless. Don't be a silly child and say, "I want to own a private island with a jet and a yacht. Therefore I need a career that makes me a billionaire!" It's great to be ambitious. But, try to be somewhat realistic, too. * How do you want to spend your days? * How do you want to structure your weeks? * With whom do you spend most of your time? * Where do you live? * How do you keep yourself happy, healthy, and fulfilled? Craft your ideal jobJob crafting is the practice of changing your job to make it more engaging and meaningful. I also love to have my clients write their ideal job description as one way to pursue a role that would give them what they want for their career and life. We focus on the job, the employer/company, and their direct manager/boss. Ideal jobDesign your ideal job that is the right next step for your career. * How would you define your ideal role? * What do you want to do more of in your next job? * What do you want to eliminate in your next role? Ideal employerDefining your ideal employer sometimes feels like a scene from Goldilocks and the Three Bears. You've probably had enough jobs that you know what you want more of from an ideal employer and what you want to avoid. * This corporation is too large. * This startup is too small. * I don't want to work for a company that's dependent on ad revenue. * I don't enjoy working on enterprise software. * I enjoy companies that sell direct to consumer. Ideal bossThink back and remember what you've appreciated about your past bosses. Also capture the toxic traits of your bad managers. * What does a great boss look like for you? * What are your red flag issues to avoid? * How do wish your future boss would behave and treat you? Ideal independent business (if necessary)Sometimes the best job is the one you literally create from scratch. I reached that point in my career. I was tired of trying to fit myself into companies, organizations, and leadership cultures that weren't a good match for my personality, values, and ambitions. So, I left the corporate scene and built my own business. If that's something you're interested in doing one day, check out my Invincible Solopreneurs newsletter. I'm also planning a live workshop to help folks define and design a business based on their existing talents, skills, knowledge, and experience. Why bother with a plan? For most people, staying in a job for too long has diminishing returns. On average, being employed at the same company for over two years will make you earn less over your lifetime — by about 50% or more. If you're not planning your promotion path and taking control of making it happen, you may not have a manager who will look out for you and ensure you get promoted when you deserve it. If you know you need to move on to a better job to keep growing your career and maximizing your lifetime earning potential, having a plan ensures you make a smart move. Too many people end up jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire of an even worse situation. A plan helps you do your homework and make a move to a great company, manager, and job.* The right boss can accelerate your career. * The wrong boss can damage it and set you back for years (or forever). * The right company can set you up for the rest of your career. * The wrong company can waste years of your time and lower your lifetime earning potential. * The right company culture will let you have a great personal life. * The wrong company culture will chew you up and spit you out. A plan also helps you identify faster paths to your ideal end state. If you don't know where you want to go, it's kind of impossible to even notice or look for shortcuts. I found a shortcut and got the life I want decades ahead of where my traditional career was taking me. I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life! Drivers get what they want Drivers get what they want out of life. Passengers end up where someone else decides to drop them off. Those people who seem happier and more successful than you aren't better than you. They're just more confident, know what they want, and pursue it with a vengeance. They are in the driver's seat, controlling where their careers and lives are going. You don't have to be a passenger. Don't let anyone stop you from climbing into the driver's seat of your career and life. It's not like you'll get a second chance to play this game. You get one life. Chart a course to end up where you want to go. Invincible Career WorkshopI'm considering creating a workshop on "How to Create an Intentional Career Path."

Financial Planner Life, Career Accelerator programEpisode 1: Are you where you want to be in your career?  In this episode we encourage you to take a hard look at the reasons why you are looking for a new job opportunity in financial planning, we offer some guidance around what you should be considering and doing before you start that time consuming and often emotional draining process of searching for a new job, which we cover in episode 2.   In this episode we cover the following • Why it's important that you sit down with your current employer to discuss your reasons why you are looking to move on, with a focus on how to approach the salary increase conversation and what evidence you can gather to reflect your worth in the market.  • Why leaning into a trusted recruiter within the financial planning space, such as Recruit UK is a must at this early stage of your job search. *   • What does your current companies' career competency framework look like?  What does the next two years offer you if you stay? No framework? No clear career path to reach your goals? Alarm bells should be ringing. • Large firms or small firms, what's right for you? • Are you holding yourself back? Why holding a mirror up to yourself is so important when considering any career move. Remember that we often take our personal problems with us. Can you hand-on-heart say that you have done all you can to improve your current situation? • What is a toxic culture, and are you working in one? Is it affecting your mental health? if so its time to move on. • Employee wellbeing: Does your current company invest in yours?  • And loads more!  *If you would like to lean into a Recruiter at Recruit UK to understand your options further, please click here to book a private consultation.  Be sure to follow financial planner life on YouTube for extra content about a career within Financial Planning HIT THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON!

“Leadership isn't a single thing. It's a bunch of things together,” says Mark Herschberg, the co-founder and one of the principal developers of MIT's famed Career Accelerator Program. The program teaches future tech leaders the soft skills like communication, networking and negotiating that they don't teach in school but are crucial to success. Here Mark discusses the origins of the program as well as the most important aspects of communication and how those aspects all build on each other.  Mark discusses the importance of career planning, and dismantles the myth of the 20-something founder. A major part of Mark's 20s was spent as a champion ballroom dancer, and he gives a peak into that world here.  He discusses his app Brain Bump and how it relates to the evolving way that we utilize books. He discusses what sectors on the horizon make no sense to him and which he finds terrifying.  Quotes: “I recognized I was missing those skills. I had heard of them, but I was never formally taught. I didn't think I was very good at them. So I set out to train myself. And as I did so, I realized these are not just skills for entrepreneurs, for founders, for executives, these are skills for everyone down to even your summer interns.” (15:24-15:42 | Mark) “The most popular article I've written was one called ‘Leadership Is Not Atomic.” Because what does it mean to be a good leader? What you're probably going to be good at is communication skills. As a leader, you're going to have to bring together coalitions. That's negotiation skills. You probably need to be able to connect with other people, networking skills. Leadership isn't a single thing. Leadership is a bunch of things together.” (18:06-18:34 | Mark)  “You can learn leadership, networking, negotiating, it's all the skills that we think some people are just born with. Well, people are also born natural athletes or natural musicians. But just because they're natural at it doesn't mean the rest of us can't learn it, if we put the time in.” (52:12-52:27 | Mark)  Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926    Connect with Mark Herschberg:Thecareertoolkitbook.com cognoscomedia.comCheck out Mark Herschberg recommended books: Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780321934116   The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabone  https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781469033075   Survival of the Savvy: High Integrity Political Tactics for Career and Company Success by Rick Brandon and Marty Selman https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780743262545   Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Billion Dollar Tech on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

This month's episode is from a discussion which was recorded as part of a live Q&A session for students at Nottingham Trent University during the delivery of our six-week Career Accelerator for Aspiring Ecological Consultants course for 2nd and final year students studying for a BSc in Wildlife Conservation. Throughout the six weeks, students gained a thorough understanding of; the role of an ecological consultant and ecological consultancy, planning policy and legislation relevant to their work as an ecological consultant, considerations of what to put into a quote that would go to a client, preliminary roost assessment, preliminary ecological appraisal (both theoretical and practical application), protected species surveys and licensing, using QGIS to generate a habitat plan, report writing for ecological consultants, and finally, career guidance. It was for this final career advice session that Tilly Tilbrook, Director at Integrated Environmental Solutions Ltd, kindly joined to share her expert insights on the recruitment process and what she looks for in candidates coming through as early career ecologists. Our Guest Tilly Tilbrook is a Chartered Ecologist who has worked in the industry since 2002. Her background includes working for local government, Natural England, and both small and large environmental consultancies. She founded Integrated Ecological Solutions Ltd in 2009, partly through a desire to work more ethically. Over the past thirteen years, she has employed many freelance and early career ecologists, and is part of the CIEEM working group looking at employment issues in the sector.  During this recording we discuss the job advert, job application cover letter, CV, interview process, and finally some extra thoughts on obtaining missing skills where time and/or money may be limited. Resources Here is a non-exhaustive list of ways to bolster your CV through online training courses suitable for early career ecologists looking to work in the UK. Some are free, others are not. *Free* Join this Facebook group to learn more about QGIS. It's not comprehensive and you will have to search for what you're looking for, so if you are looking for a more complete introduction then we do have a QGIS training course aimed at beginners (see *paid*).

How you manage your time has never been more critical.  It's no longer a “nice to have”.  You see, time management is really not about managing time.  You can't manage time.  There are 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week, no matter what you do.  Time management is actually priority management.  It's how you take the items that are most important to you and put them on your task list and your calendar to make sure you're getting them done on time in order to serve the people around you.  That's it in a nutshell.And in the end, the payoff at being better at this is that it allows you to accomplish more.  It allows you to work with a calm confidence mindset that is willing and able to take on more, because you know you can handle it.  It's not enough to just keep saying “yes” to every new opportunity or every new task, you actually have to produce results.  There's nothing worse than saying yes, and then failing to hold up your end of the bargain.  Pretty soon the people around you will lose their trust in you.Your ability to advance, to make progress, to achieve your goals will be limited.Don't make these time management mistakes!Have you checked out Golf Professional Growth?  Head to www.golfprofessionalgrowth.com for tons of great info on how today's Golf Professionals can "Work Smarter. Live Better."If you're going to be in a job search anytime soon, Golf Professional Growth has premium content from experts in the career space to help you stand out and land the job of your dreams!  It's GPG's "Career Accelerator".  Over 3 hours of insight on interviewing, resumes, and getting noticed in a crowded space.   Get the info, and get ahead!  Go to www.golfprofessionalgrowth.com/careersummit!

There's no doubt that if you're a listener to this podcast, you're familiar with Golf Genius.  In fact, there's a very good chance that you're a user of one of their products.  As the last decade progressed, Golf Genius eventually emerged as the leader in tournament management software.  Their client list is well into the thousands and spans the entire globe and at this point, there isn't anyone even close to being a true competitor.But what you may not know is how this all started.  The humble beginnings took place in the Philadelphia suburbs when a retired software exec wanted to write a program that would make planning the annual golf trip a whole lot easier.  So Golf Trip Genius was born.  As it became evident that Golf Trip Genius wouldn't scale at a level to sustain a business, it's founder, Mike Zisman, targeted golf leagues at public courses and eventually recruited a local PGA Professional to help get his foot in the door with Golf Genius at private clubs.  As one of the first customers, I remember seeing this product for the first time.  No doubt the TV leaderboards and the event portals were a cool feature, but it was going to take some time before this little company could take down the bigger names in tournament management.  Little did I know the level of determination, skill, and valuable experience that Mike brought to the table.  And thanks to that, and the efforts of 39 PGA Professionals, and the entire company, Golf Genius sits on top.  Yes, Golf Genius is a sponsor of this show, and I'm proud to have them as a partner, but I invited Mike on the show because I wanted to learn more about his story, more about his leadership philosophy, and how he plans to keep Golf Genius in it's current position.  As one of the innovators in email technology in the late 70's, Mike has seen the entire internet age come to life.  From the outside looking in, it's been a privileged career but not without an incredible level of hard work and dedication along with more than his fair share of adversity.  Have you checked out www.golfprofessionalgrowth.com?  If you're in search for a new position in the golf industry and looking for secrets to get ahead of the pack, go to Golf Professional Growth's "Career Accelerator" for insider info from leaders in the golf search space.  Go to www.golfprofessionalgrowth.com/careersummit

Have you ever wondered what it takes to stand out in an interview?  What if you can't even get to the interview?  Is the problem your resume?  What if you're not coming from a top club?  What if you haven't managed before?We've all had similar questions as we look to climb the ladder in our careers.Golf Professional Growth set out to create a resource for all of the job seekers out there.  In case you missed it, GPG just ran its first virtual event, the Career Accelerator Summit.  The idea was to gather some of the most experienced minds in the job search arena in our industry and find out answers to the most common and most critical questions.  If you missed it, the good news is that the recordings of these interviews are still available.  Just go to golfprofessionalgrowth.com/careersummit and you can access the over 4 hours of expert career advice that could be the difference in getting you your next interview, and helping you finally get across the finish line.  For a limited time, if you use the coupon code PODCAST at checkout, you can save 20% off the enrollment cost of $49.  Even at full price, it's a crazy amount of valuable content that could generate a return thousands of times over.  You'll also get audio downloads of the conversations too, so you can listen on the go as you prepare for your next job search!In this episode you'll get a taste of the summit from some of the featured guests, including:Scott Kmiec, Senior Director, Career Services, PGA of AmericaTom Wallace, CCM, Partner, Kopplin Kuebler and WallaceKathy Grayson, Career Consultant, PGA of America, Certified Resume WriterGet all the interviews here!!

Our Atlanta Sports Career Accelerator is in the history books - in this episode of the Work in Sports podcast I'm sharing the top advice from our incredible speakers. Show notes coming soon!

Three great questions came in this week on job interviewing, so why not handle all three?!Hi everybody, I'm Brian Clapp Director of Content for WorkinSports.com and this is the Work in Sports podcast –Before we get into this week's qa session I want to remind you all about our upcoming Sports Career Accelerator event coming up September 13-14th in Atlanta.Before you say – darn! I don't live it Atlanta – I'd like to point out that right around 2,600 direct flights come into Atlanta per day. So this event is in reach.But why should you care? I'll tell you why –This 2-day event will feature learning and networking opportunities with leaders inside the Atlanta Hawks, Braves, Falcons, the darlings of the MLS the United, the College Football Hall of fame and more.You will get exclusive facility tours and see behind the scenes of the operations of all these major franchisesYou will have one on one personal time with all the executive hosts, where you can ask questions and networkWe will submit a professional portfolio on your behalf to all of the teams.We are limiting the event to 40 people so that we can keep this small, intimate and impactful!We will be opening registration early for podcast fans and people who submit their email via our early interest page …which is at workinsports.com/atlanta.Questions – you can ask me via our private facebook group – search the work in sports podcast on facebook, join the group, or via LinkedIn, or via our podcast@workinsports.com email account.So go ahead, ask me anything.Now onto today's question:I'm actually combining 3 similar questions into one theme – This week I received three good questions about job interviewing, so let's handle them all.1: This question comes in from Alanna in Wheaton, Illinois –Hi Brian, love the podcast thank you so much for your time and effort, Can't wait til the Career Accelerator event, a flight from Chicago to Atlanta is only 1 hour 32 minutes and $110 round trip. Ok I added that part. Alanna didn't say that, but it does give me a chance to show how cheap it is to fly to atlanta!OK Ok her question – How much research into the company should I do before hand…I mean they want to know more about me, so isn't it more important to really nail my story, rather than theirs?Alanna – it's a good question but you are coming at it the complete wrong way.I like to start at the end goal and work my way back in every situation.In an interview the goal is to get hired, right? To win them over, impress them with your talents and make them feel like you are the right fit for the job.Ok so that's the end goal. How do we get there?Think of a venn diagram, where you are one circle and the company is another circle. You are thinking of this as if the two circles don't overlap. This is about you, and they are them.But in reality, the overlap between you and the company is the sweet spot, it is about you together as one, and the only way to show how you two meld is by doing research into the company – tons of it.You need to be able to tell your story through the lens of the hiring company, -- how your skills align, how their projects line up with your ambitions, how their areas of growth are the direction you want to head.And the only way you know these things is through research.You want to know their culture – their brand tone and voice – their clients – their projects – what staff says about working there – the background of the person who would be your boss.I could keep going but those were just off the top of my head… you can see how each of these things relates to how you may handle a question during the interview.If their brand voice is dry and technical, maybe that's the vibe you need to throw in your interview.
