Do you struggle to negotiate your worth -- or lose confidence and end up accepting less than you deserve?If this sounds familiar, you're not alone -- and it's exactly what we're diving into on today's episode.I remember walking into my boss's office, palms sweating and heart racing.It was early in my career and my first real negotiation discussion. I was about to ask for the pay-rise I believed I deserved based on my performance and financial results.Despite this, I became tongue-tied and ended up accepting terms I wasn't happy with. Less than what I knew I was worth (and one of my male colleagues had negotiated).Because it doesn't matter how confident you are in front of clients or speaking about your area of expertise. I worked in sales and negotiated with large corporations every day. Many of my clients are lawyers and negotiate for a living.But when it comes to our careers and ‘selling ourselves' many people struggle.Whether you want to negotiate a pay-rise, promotion or new job offer, you MUST know your value and how to communicate it with confidence.Over the past 17 years, I've helped hundreds of leaders secure salary increases and learn to effectively negotiate. And with annual performance review season upon us, I'm pulling back the curtain on my biggest insider secrets.In today's episode, I'm sharing six simple strategies to help you confidently negotiate your worth -- and get EXACTLY what you want!You'll learn:Two critical factors you MUST know to set yourself up for success -- long before the conversation beginsThe ONE question you need to answer to put yourself in a strong negotiation positionHow to give yourself room to negotiate and increase the chances of getting what you wantA simple mindset shift to boost your confidence before (and during) the conversationWhat to do when your request is declined -- and how to keep the door openThe negotiation habit that helps you stay in control and avoid accepting less than you deserveSo hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Feeling stuck -- or struggling to take action?If procrastination is sabotaging your success, you're not alone. And that's exactly what we're addressing on today's episode.You could be delaying an important project, putting off a career move -- or avoiding something which deep down, you really WANT to do.But dreams often get put on hold because you're scared of failing.Procrastination is a challenge my coaching clients continuously contend with. They're ambitious high-performers, yet still find themselves stuck in analysis paralysis. They know EXACTLY what they need to do -- but lack the motivation to start.And I get it. Even with ‘focus' and ‘activator' as two of my top strengths, I still have moments where I get distracted, experience resistance or struggle to take action.However, there are some simple ways to work through it.In today's episode, I'm sharing 4 practical strategies I use to overcome procrastination and move into action.You'll learn:The REAL reason you procrastinate and first step to overcome it, so you move forward with clarity and confidenceHow to reduce overwhelm and stay in action (without the 30 item to-do list) A simple practice to help you make progress -- even when motivation levels are low The ONE question to ask each day to move through procrastination and take steady steps toward your goalsSo hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Have you hit a point in your career where something seems -- off? Are you feeling stuck and wondering what's next -- but aren't sure where to start?In a recent masterclass, I introduced my signature Career By Design method -- a new way of approaching your career which starts with YOU, not external strategies.One participant shared this shift in approach was her biggest takeaway. But what helped her figure out how to put it into action was learning the 3 career stages I guide my clients through.By understanding her current career stage, she now knows EXACTLY where to focus her energy.So in today's episode, I'm sharing my personal experience navigating these three stages -- and how it inspired the approach I now use to support my clients. Because I KNOW what it's like to feel confused about your direction, stuck in self-doubt or out of control in your career.Then, I'll break down the 3 pivotal career stages I see high-achievers move through -- and how to identify which one you're in.You'll learn:The moment that marked the biggest shift in my career: going from chasing someone else's version of success to designing my ownHow to pinpoint which of the 3 stages you're in -- so you can focus your time and energy in the right placeWhy identifying your career stage is the key to moving forward with clarity, confidence and the right strategySo hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Are you ‘doing your career differently' -- or feeling stuck on the path you think you 'should' take?That's exactly what we're covering on today's podcast.I talk a lot about redefining success and creating a career on YOUR terms.But as a high-achiever who's found success by following a traditional career path, this can be tricky.Especially if you're like many of my clients, who come from professional services. Careers like law, accounting and finance -- where there's one clear path and model of success laid out in front of you.Yet what happens when you DON'T follow this path? It can stir up guilt, shame or judgement -- from others, but mostly yourself. And if you want to do your career differently, fear can hold you back.This is a conversation I have with clients all the time. Because I believe ‘doing things differently' is HOW you create the career you want.In today's episode, I'm busting 3 common career myths -- and sharing the advantages of approaching your career differently.You'll learn:The outdated career rule worth questioning and why breaking it might be the smartest move you makeWhy following a ‘traditional path' isn't the ONLY way to success -- and how your diverse experience sets you apartHow to move forward when you're multi-passionate -- and why you don't always have to choose ONE pathSo get ready to rethink the rules and hit play NOW!Thanks for listening.

134 years. That's how long it will take to reach gender parity.So what's holding women back at work? And more importantly -- what can we do about it? That's exactly what we're diving into today.I grew up in the '80s -- the decade of big hair, power suits and Working Girl. A time when women were independent and ambitious. To me, women had ALWAYS been successful at work -- and anything I wanted to achieve in my career was possible.Yet when I entered the workforce (big hair still in tow!), I found workplaces built on traditional systems where men held the power. The corporate environments I worked in encouraged healthy competition and rewarded high performance. As I watched the women around me adapt to these systems, I did the same. From my 20's, the message was clear: To succeed as a woman, I had to be confident, competitive -- even aggressive.Fast forward two decades and workplaces have evolved. We've seen a shift towards equal pay, diversity initiatives and more women in leadership. After 17 years supporting people in their careers, I'm in awe of how far we've come.But progress isn't happening fast enough. And while International Women's Day builds awareness of these issues, I want to extend the conversation beyond one day a year. Because I know real action begins with YOU taking ownership of your career.In this episode I'm breaking down the biggest barriers women still face at work and how to move past them. Whether you're navigating these challenges yourself or leading a team, you'll walk away with practical steps to create real change!You'll learn:Why flexible work can limit visibility and career progression -- and what to do about itThe ONE thing you can control when balancing motherhood and your careerHow to position yourself so hiring managers see your potential -- not their assumptionsThe REAL reason women are still paid and promoted less -- and ways to change thisHow to reclaim your voice at the table and be heard with clarity and confidenceActionable strategies to create collaboration over competition -- and help leaders support women at workSo hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Have you ever caught yourself comparing your success to someone else's? When I watched Demi Moore's recent Golden Globe speech, it hit home. Comparison is something ALL ambitious leaders struggle with, no matter how successful or experienced you are. And today, we're tackling it head-on. Picture this...You're feeling on top of the world -- fulfilled by your work and completely satisfied with where you are in life. Then out of nowhere, it all comes crashing down. You're scrolling LinkedIn and see a peer being featured in a major industry publication. Or a colleague lands the promotion you were hoping for -- taking on a bigger role, leading a high-profile project, or stepping into the C-suite.Suddenly, the confidence and excitement you had about your progress disappear. You start questioning yourself and doubting your abilities.What you're experiencing is career ‘comparisonitis'. And you're not alone. Comparison culture is everywhere -- especially in a world of social media and ‘perfect' Instagram feeds. They say comparison is the thief of joy, but it's also the thief of progress. It pulls you away from your own goals and often leads to inaction.Does it feel like everyone else is getting ahead -- faster than you?In today's episode, I share five practical strategies to stop the cycle of comparison -- once and for all!You'll learn:The psychology behind comparison, WHY you fall into the trap and the first step to break freeMy personal experience with comparisonitis -- and two ways to transform it into fuel for successHow to redefine success on YOUR own terms and train your brain to let go of career comparison for goodThe simple mindset shift to silence self-doubt and help you make a real impactSo hit play NOW -- and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

February marks the REAL start of the year for many leaders, making it the perfect time to explore the key career and leadership trends defining 2025.Because here's the thing -- the pace of change isn't slowing down. We're experiencing major global shifts -- economically, politically and socially -- which are reshaping the workplace in real time.So, let me ask you: Are you ready for what's coming?In my recent conversations with senior leaders and executives, one challenge keeps surfacing…Many have been so focused on leading their teams and delivering results that they haven't had time to think about their own career direction. One leader shared they've spent YEARS in reactive mode -- without intentionally planning where they want to go next. Now, they're at a point where they know it's time for a change, but they're unsure what that looks like.Another executive put it perfectly when they said, “I've spent years setting career goals and developing plans for my team, but I've never actually done it for myself.”And this is something I see all the time. As an ambitious leader, it's easy to focus on external priorities -- like leading your team or driving business outcomes -- while putting your own career on autopilot.But with so much change happening, taking ownership of your career and leadership development is more critical than ever.In today's episode, I'm sharing the top 4 career and leadership trends for 2025 -- and how YOU can stay ahead.You'll learn:The ONE thing you must master to stay competitive and lead a high-impact team in the age of AIA game-changing shift top businesses are making -- and how YOU can use it to future-proof your career and teamHow to accelerate your career without burnout -- while developing an engaged, high-performing teamWhy building visibility as a leader is key to unlocking new opportunities for you AND your teamNo matter where you are in your career, these insights will help you stay ahead, lead with confidence and seize new opportunities in 2025.

Do you know what you're working towards in 2025? If not, you're not alone. Many high performers I work with feel stuck, unsure of what they truly want and overwhelmed about where to start. So in today's episode, we're talking about how to clarify YOUR vision for the year ahead!As a child, I remember sitting on the living room floor with my sister, surrounded by stacks of my mum's glossy magazines. Scissors in hand, we'd cut and paste (the old-fashioned way!) our favourite images onto paper. Without realising it, we were creating our own version of the modern day ‘vision board'.Now, I'm very practical and strategic when it comes to goal-setting. For a long time, I dismissed the whole concept of vision-boards as fluff and frankly, a bit ‘woo-woo'. But as a certified coach, I've learnt how powerful it is to create a clear vision -- albeit in my own structured, logical way! Yet so many of us dive into goal-setting without considering the big picture.This is like trying to plan a journey without a final destination point. Because if you don't know WHAT you're working towards, it's impossible to figure out the right strategy to get there.In this episode, I share 5 practical tips to help you clarify your 2025 vision, set aligned goals and take action with confidence!You'll learn:3 critical questions to identify what is and isn't working, so you know EXACTLY where to focusThe 2 essential elements to align your vision with what matters most and create a fulfilling, sustainable careerPractical prompts to help you visualise your ideal 2025What to do when your resolutions don't stick -- PLUS specific examples of how my clients and I approach the year with intentionHow to transform your vision into a step-by-step plan and achieve your goals with clarity and confidenceSo hit play NOW -- and let's make your 2025 vision a reality!Thanks for listening.

Do you struggle to stick to your New Year resolutions?Every January you look forward to a fresh start and set new goals for the year ahead. But studies show over 80% of resolutions fail by February.So today I'm revealing the REAL reasons why -- and how to overcome them.Goals ARE important because they give you something to strive for. Still, I don't buy into the ‘new year, new you' hype. It's unreasonable to put yourself under pressure one time per year.I believe in having a clear vision, setting goals from there and creating a step-by-step plan to reach them -- ANY time of year.In this special episode, which originally aired in January 2024, you'll find out how to stop breaking your resolutions. PLUS six simple shifts you can make to reach your big career goals in 2025!You'll learn:Why I stopped setting New Year resolutions -- and what I recommend insteadThe neuroscience behind goal-setting and how to use it to get the results you want in your careerPractical strategies to reduce overwhelm and stay accountable to your goals -- even during tough timesHow to eliminate the ‘time excuse' which stops you achieving your goalsThe importance of progress over outcomesSo hit play on this episode now and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

How often do YOU pause and reflect?It wasn't until I hit the point of burnout several years ago that I realised: I NEVER reflected on my career.As an Activator in the StrengthsFinder assessment, I'm a natural doer. Someone who dives into action, works hard and follow through -- traits I share with my high-achieving clients. Yet, this focus on 'doing': planning, strategising, ticking off to-do's -- often takes priority. This leaves little time to reflect on successes, learnings or celebrate progress TOWARD your goals.And this time of year, when you're tired or disappointed with your results, it's easy to overlook what you HAVE achieved. Our brains fixate on the gaps, which is why reflection is essential.In this special episode, I'm sharing my 4 game-changing lessons (and honest confessions) for 2024. Listen in to find out what worked, what didn't — and how these lessons can help YOU! Then, I'll walk you through a simple end of year reflection to review YOUR year, career -- and what you want in the next one.You'll learn:The ONE secret to maintain momentum, build confidence and achieve results in your career -- even during tough timesThe key people you need in your network NOW -- and how collaboration can progress your career and unlock future opportunities Why prioritising YOUR time and energy is key to building better boundaries with others My struggles with overwork this year and how to build sustainable career success without burning out Why waiting for clarity holds you back -- and how taking action turns confusion into a fulfilling, sustainable career4 powerful questions to reflect on your successes, learnings and set yourself up for a strong start in 2025!This episode is a perfect one to dive into over the holidays and a MUST listen to prepare for your best year yet.

Several years ago I made an extreme and completely out of character decision... I closed my business for 2 months. To do -- absolutely nothing.I'd reached another cycle of complete burnout after YEARS of working 60+ hour weeks, late nights and weekends. After recognising the pattern of working myself to burnout -- both in my own business and back in my corporate career -- it was time to make significant changes.As a result, I created new habits, beliefs and behaviours which helped me beat the cycle of burnout -- once and for all. And this is exactly what I'm talking about on today's podcast.Because one thing I'm noticing is that leaders are feeling stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted as we close out the year. Whether you're overstretched at work from doing more, with less resources -- or busy balancing your career and personal commitments.So, instead of waiting until you hit the point of burnout like I did, what can you do NOW to overcome overwhelm?In today's episode, I get real and share my own personal battle with burn-out.You'll learn:3 simple steps to help you plan ahead and know EXACTLY where to focus The two essential elements to slow down during stressful periods, so you can speed up laterWhy prioritising YOUR time and energy is key to building better boundaries with others How cultivating this leadership skill creates space for strategic thinking, improved time management and a more sustainable workload The ONE shift you must make as a high-performer to feel more fulfilled at work and overcome overwhelmHow to beat overwhelm when life feels out of control -- or throws unexpected challenges your waySo hit play NOW and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Is your job getting in the way of the career you want?Today, I'm talking about a common theme which comes up in my coaching sessions: How to balance your long-term career goals with the demands of your current role.Like one client put it, it's easy to get caught up in the ‘hamster wheel' of daily tasks -- and forget to allocate time to your long-term priorities. ESPECIALLY when the pace of change in the past few years has forced us to focus on fighting fires and short-term strategy.As this client experienced, thinking short-term led them to put their employer first and completely neglect their own career goals and development. Had they not addressed this, it could have hindered their ability to reach their long-term goals and limited them to whatever path their organisation offered them.And what I'm noticing right now as we get towards the end of the year is that SO many people are confused about what they want next in their careers. But they're also busy, exhausted and waiting until the new year (like everyone else) to figure it out. So what are some ways you can start to address this -- and set yourself up for success next year?In this episode, I'm sharing 5 strategies to balance your daily to-do list and long-term career goals, so you can take back control of your career!You'll learn:The danger of ticking ‘easy' items off your to-do list -- and why understanding your priorities is the essential starting pointWhat overwhelm is ACTUALLY trying to tell you and practical steps to get unstuck The REAL reason you keep procrastinating on your biggest priorities -- and what to do about it An often overlooked step which is CRITICAL to achieving your long-term career goalsTangible tips to help you accomplish your daily work tasks AND your big career ambitionsSo hit play on this episode NOW and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Too many people stay stuck in a career or role which no longer serves them, out of fear they'll end up in a worse situation. So what steps can you take when considering a change to confirm a potential employer is the right fit for YOU?Today's episode was inspired by a question someone asked at a conference: “How do you ensure a potential employer's values align to your own?”Before I answer it here, I want to address the REAL underlying issue at the root of this question: the fear of making the ‘wrong' move.Digging deeper, I discovered this individual had a bad experience with management in a previous position. As a result, she was worried about making the ‘wrong' choice in future. And it's a common challenge many of my clients experience too...But here's the truth: There's no such thing as a ‘wrong' decision -- because your knowledge, skills and experience ALWAYS go with you. However, there ARE strategies to reduce risk with your next career step.In today's episode, I'm sharing the number one mindset shift and 3 practical strategies you can take to find the right fit -- and minimise risk with your move!You'll learn:How your fear of making the wrong choice keeps you stuck in an unfulfilling situation -- and a simple reframe to shift your mindsetThe most critical questions to ask throughout the interview process and BEFORE accepting a job to determine it's the right fit for youMy top tip to assess the values and leadership style of a hiring manager, so you can mitigate risk with your move A common pitfall to avoid when assessing company culture -- so you find a position which fits YOU So hit play on this episode NOW and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Are you settling in your career?I recently saw an Instagram post talking about the ‘dream job' being dead, which encouraged people to take a role which was ‘good enough'. One which funds your life OUTSIDE work.And I get why this advice may resonate in the current economic climate. I think it's absolutely fundamental to make sure your financial needs are met, have a strategy and minimise risk with any move.

So though the concept of a ‘dream career' may seem unrealistic -- I don't agree that you have to ‘work to live' or settle for a job which doesn't challenge or fulfill you.Because here's the truth... You spend a THIRD of your life at work and your career has a big impact on your quality of life.I believe it's COMPLETELY possible to do the work which lights you up, make an impact AND get paid well for it.So HOW do you do this? In today's episode, you'll discover the 5 essential first steps to take back control of your career -- regardless of the economy, job market or your current life season.You'll learn:3 common (and often surprising) ways high-achievers settle in their careers -- and what YOU can do about itThe biggest mistake people make when managing their careers and how doing the opposite will get you back in control of your careerEXACTLY what's keeping you stuck in your career -- and my top tip to find clarity and take control of your directionThe danger of waiting for a promotion or the market to improve and why starting NOW is keyHow to develop your current career – EVEN if you're happy, don't have time or aren't looking to move roles right nowWhy having a plan is vital and practical steps you can take outside your day job to find fulfillment and set yourself up for future career successSo hit play on this episode NOW and let's dive in!Thanks for listening.

Are you ignoring what you WANT, in favour of what you think you ‘should' do?Today, I'm talking about one powerful little word which is sneaking its way into your vocabulary. And once I point it out to my clients, they can't unsee it. In fact, I they start pulling themselves up on it!Can you guess what this word is? It's SHOULD!I see it in my clients who've followed a conventional career path or climbed the corporate ladder, without ever considering what they really want. I've also experienced it myself after years of chasing external success, overachievement -- and spending the better part of my career working towards what I thought I ‘should' be doing. These are classic examples of what I call ‘should-ing' all over yourself.  Overlooking what you WANT, for what you think you ‘should' do. Or putting yourself under pressure to ‘be' a certain way, rather than ‘who' you truly are. It also shows up when you have a tendency to please others and put everyone else's priorities or opinions ahead of your own. As a result, you struggle to make the right decisions, create the changes or reach the goals you desire. Are YOU should-ing all over yourself?In today's episode, I'm sharing 6 practical steps to help you break this habit — once and for all. You'll learn:The REAL reason you struggle to say no, set boundaries or want to please others -- and why awareness is the first step to changing it A powerful tool you need to know to shift your beliefs, behaviours and start owning your decisions Practical tips to help you prioritise -- and the ONE question you must ask when you have two conflicting ‘shoulds'How having clarity on what you DO want and taking intentional action towards it is key to letting go of what you believe you ‘should' doThe ‘danger' words to look out for -- and how to remove this limiting language so you can go after what you really WANTYou'll find out how to make the shift from what you think you ‘should' do and finally start creating the career you WANT.

Todd Ault interviews Kevin Griffin, a creative entrepreneur and best-selling author who is known far and wide as the lead singer and founding member of Better Than Ezra, the platinum-selling 90's alternative rock band who achieved massive success with their number 1 hit song "Good". If you agree that Bob Dylan helped write the soundtrack to the tumultuous 1960's, then similarly, Kevin Griffin helped write the soundtrack to the epic summer of 1995! Tune-in to hear Kevin reveal the one quality that he believes all successful musicians have in common. Learn how his massive success as a songwriter inspired other musicians like Taylor Swift to also record his songs. Don't miss this 45-minute interview with Kevin Griffin to hear what sparked the idea to write his newest book “The Greatest Song: Spark Creativity, Ignite Your Career and Transform Your Life", a business parable that is loosely based on his occasionally turbulent, yet charmed life and career. "The one thing that still bubbles to the top is authenticity - a good product, a good idea, a good song." - Kevin Griffin

Duane Dufault and Adam Jay discuss the importance of prioritizing tasks and having a realistic understanding of timeframes to achieve better outcomes and avoid falling into the trap of impatience. They highlight the common problem of founders and venture capitalists who believe that everything is urgent and a priority, leading to a sense of impatience and unrealistic expectations. Adam Jay emphasizes that if everything is urgent, then nothing is truly urgent or a priority.They explain that it is crucial to listen to experts who can provide realistic timelines and expectations. By understanding how long it will realistically take to make changes or achieve certain goals, founders can set more achievable targets and avoid the disappointment and frustration that come with unrealistic expectations. Adam also mentions that impatience is a mindset that often stems from the desire for immediate returns, but it is not necessarily the best approach for long-term success.The episode also touches on the idea that fast growth does not always equate to good growth. While there are examples of companies that have experienced rapid and successful growth, Adam suggests that slow and steady growth is often more sustainable and ultimately leads to better outcomes. They compare the journey of building a business to a marathon rather than a sprint, emphasizing the need for deliberate and thoughtful growth strategies.If you get value from this episode, be sure to subscribe and share the episode with your friends, as we all can benefit from more positivity and leadership in today's society.Be sure to follow Duane Dufault on all the social platforms to get daily hits of tactical advice that you can take action on right awayLinkedin | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube | TikTok | Adam Jay

Working from home presents virtual and real insecurities and challenges. Rick is working to bring career experts to the program on Wednesdays at One. Kris Holmes is such a pro and her book, Ignite Your Career is getting rave reviews. Here, she provides some very specific advice.

Job satisfaction statistics have been challenged for years, often hovering in the 60%-70% range. I recall, when writing my first book, Success On Your Own Terms: 6 Promises to Fire Up Your Passion, Ignite Your Career, and Create an Amazing Life, back in 2013, how heavily that notion weight on my mind, that any given time while driving to work, I could count off the cars stuck in traffic with me, and at best, only three out of ten were excited about the destination they were heading to. Stu Massengill is on a mission to change the statistic to most people falling in love with what they do. He is a Peak Performance Strategist for Tony Robbins and the founder of Finding Direction. Through his podcast and university, he helps people go from lost in life to creating a life full of passion and fulfillment. We uncover five tips that I believe will be instructive in helping you move forward during our discussion. The Five Tips: 1. Be willing to experiment and undergo “trials” on your way to finding your life's work. 2. Overcome big challenges on your way to more significant milestones. 3. Shift the questions you ask yourself from a position of “what is void or missing?” to a place of “how do I best use and give from what I have?” 4. Develop people skills to leverage the relationship opportunities along your journey fully. 5. Believe that you truly can live a life that you love. #purposedrivencareer #businesspodcast #businesspodcasts #careerpodcast #entrepreneurpodcast #podcasts #podcast #newpodcast #businessleaders #business #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #podcastinterview #businessadvice Learn more about your ad choices.

Kick off your New Year with Author of Ignite Your Career. Kris Holmes talks about how to take your career journey forward with a fresh resume and new perspective.

There are many ways to launch a career in singing, but the advent of reality TV has changed this world forever. Almost overnight, an aspiring singer can go from complete obscurity to global fame if they play their cards right. This episode's guest, however, reminds us that singing for a reality singing show is not an end to itself, but an opportunity to launch a more serious career as an artist or anything else you would want to be in the industry. Joining Bree Noble to give us a glimpse into this potent force in the music industry is Brianna Ruelas, a strategy consultant, reality music coach, singer-songwriter and author who once had her shot at reality TV back in the day. Joining 100,000 other hopefuls for the American Idol Season 4 auditions, Brianna was chosen as one of the 100 destined for Hollywood. That one didn't go well, but that wasn't the end, either. Leveraging the lessons that she learned from that experience, she now helps indie artists and bands achieve successful careers in music.

As a recruitment business owner, how do you balance internal operations while strategically generating revenue? In this episode, my special guest Kris Holmes shares fascinating insights and ideas on internal operations - from rewards and compensation, peer to peer evaluations, and culture.  Kris is an executive recruiter and partner at the O'Connell Group, which is a leading search firm in consumer marketing and market research. She is also the best-selling author of Ignite Your Career! which is a book she launched in July 2020. Before becoming a recruiter, Kris worked for a decade in consumer marketing with companies like Johnson & Johnson and Kraft Foods. She is also a member of the Pinnacle Society which is a consortium of industry-leading recruiters in North America. Episode Outline and Highlights [2:19] Kris shared the biggest challenge she's faced in her 25 year recruitment career.  [14:10] Internal recruitment is a major challenge for recruiting firms - what are some best practices and KPIs? [20:06] How to manage internal operations while strategically generating revenue. [23:46] An insightful approach to rewards and compensation. [30:26] Peer to peer evaluation - effective metrics to measure performance. [33:25] The four steps O'Connell Group are taking to face the C19 challenge.

Insights on Recruiter Compensation, Company Culture and the Power of Peer to Peer Evaluations In this episode, Kris was able to share insightful approaches on different aspects of managing internal operations. One of the best practices she shared is the compensation program that they implemented that effectively rewards the “superstars” or their high performing recruiters. She also shared their practice of peer to peer evaluations, on which they evaluate each other's performance using at least 20 peer metrics! Hear this fascinating idea from Kris. Although the mentioned practices sound like it would create a very competitive environment, you might be surprised at how O'Connell is able to inculcate a very nurturing and supportive culture for its employees. This has fostered fantastic staff retention and enabled some of their employees to stay with them for more than 15 years. Game Plan to Address the Challenge of Covid19 How does Kris plan to lead O'Connell Group through the C19 crisis successfully? This is what she said: “I've been doing this for 25 years. I've seen September 11th, I've seen the Financial Crisis. I have never seen anything like this that is rocking everybody to their core… But the steps we're taking work. Our philosophy is whenever we go into these times of crises, where we cannot control the external market, we can control what we do. And so we have taken many steps.” Listen to the four steps that they are proactively taking that you may find also beneficial to your recruitment business. Yes, this may not be a good year, but with focus and determination, Kris was able to confidently say:  “This is not gonna be a good year at all. But I think we're gonna come out of it much stronger than when we went into it because we've been very strategic and focused on how we streamline, cut cost, and how we increase our capabilities going forward.” Kris Holmes Bio and Contact Info Kris Holmes is an executive recruiter and partner at O'Connell Group, a leading executive search firm in consumer marketing and market research.
