Job searching can be brutal. It tests your patience, your confidence, and your resolve. But if you shift your focus from results to wisdom, everything changes. That's what I'm teaching in this week's lesson, how to use your job search to make you a better professional. In the podcast, I share a personal story about recently finishing my new book. It's now off and running with the publisher, moving through the production process. The moment I hit send, I sat in my favorite Pottery Barn Wells swivel chair and thought for 20 minutes about nothing but the "agony" I'm going to endure over the next 12 months. Kidding aside, I genuinely did this. I didn't think about how many copies I might sell or what it'd take to make a bestseller list. I focused on something more important, the skills I need to strengthen over the next year as I market and launch this new book. You might think that because this is my fifth time around, I'd have mastered it by now. But if you assumed that, you'd be completely wrong. Yes, I've done a lot right and built some great skills when it comes to marketing a book. But many efforts have fallen short of my hopes. Some were dead ends. Others just confused the heck out of me. Which means only one thing, I need to try new things, keep learning, and keep building. Does this sound like your job search? The things you think will work don't. The things you don't expect to work do. It's effort, surprises, ups, and downs. That's just life in a nutshell. And what I'm about to say might sound like common sense. But I'm guessing it'll only sound like common sense after I actually say it. If you're going to go through a job search, why not gain the benefits of the experience? If we agree those benefits come in the form of new experiences and better skills, then it's time to ask yourself...

In today's hyper-connected world, your social media presence isn't just personal anymore; it's often the first impression a hiring manager gets before they even open your resume.What you post, like, or comment on can quietly signal your professionalism, judgment, and emotional maturity (or the lack thereof).A single ill-timed rant, a subtle dig at your boss, or an old spring-break photo that never got untagged can instantly move your application from the “yes” pile to the trash without you ever knowing why.The good news is that avoiding the most common pitfalls is straightforward once you know what recruiters are quietly screening for.By keeping your online voice positive, authentic, and drama-free, you protect your reputation, you not only safeguard your current job search but also build a personal brand that makes opportunities come to you.In this episode, I dive into the seven subtle (and not-so-subtle) social media habits that silently sabotage even the most qualified candidates, and exactly how to clean up your digital footprint before it costs you your next big role.#socialmediatips #leadershippodcast #jobsearchtips
This week, I sit down with Sarah Doody to talk about why so many designers feel stuck, and why it has nothing to do with talent. We explore how designers can apply their own UX process to their careers, create clarity through “compass statements,” and build a roadmap that actually leads somewhere.What would happen if you stopped treating your portfolio like the product—and started treating yourself like the product?This week, I'm joined by UX researcher, product designer, and career strategist Sarah Doody to unpack a hard truth: most designers aren't broken; they're just not applying their own process to their careers. After years of helping teams build the right products, Sarah noticed the same patterns designers use at work rarely show up in their job search. That gap is exactly what inspired her to start Career Strategy Lab.In our conversation, we dig into the symptoms of “identity fog,” why so many designers struggle to articulate their own value, and how the industry's obsession with FANG feeds unrealistic expectations. Sarah breaks down her “Product of You” framework—designing yourself, marketing yourself, and selling yourself—and shows how a single compass statement can influence everything from what projects you showcase to which jobs you apply for.We also talk about experimentation, metrics, tailoring your materials, and the surprising reasons why designers waste months tweaking their portfolios without improving their outcomes. If you've ever felt stuck, lost, or unsure how to stand out in a crowded market, this episode will give you the clarity and the next steps you've been missing.Give it a listen. You might walk away with a completely new way to think about your career.Topics:• 01:57 – Feeling Stuck in Your UX Career• 03:28 – Understanding Career Identity Fog• 06:00 – The Importance of an Elevator Pitch• 09:57 – Applying UX Processes to Your Career• 23:24 – Experimentation and Metrics in Job Search• 26:39 – Tailoring Your Resume and Portfolio• 34:02 – The Role of ATS and AI in Job Applications• 37:47 – Rethinking Success Beyond FANG Companies• 39:40 – Golden Handcuffs: The Reality of Working at FANG• 41:17 – Creating a Life Roadmap Before a Career Roadmap• 43:39 – Defining Your Perfect Day and Career Goals• 45:17 – The Importance of Total Compensation Packages• 46:57 – Effective Job Search Strategies and Networking• 48:47 – Documenting Your Work and Portfolio Tips• 53:56 – The Value of Paid Career CoachingHelpful Links:• Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn• The Career Strategy Lab• The Career Strategy Podcast—Thanks for listening!

This week, we interviewed Ken Sher, who is an Executive Coach, Career Coach, Keynote Speaker, and, most recently, an author. Ken spent more than 25 years at Johnson & Johnson in leadership roles across Sales, Marketing, Recruiting, Training, and Leadership Development. Through his experience, Ken has seen that technical skills alone don't make leaders successful. The best leaders are compassionate, authentic, and know how to build strong, trusting relationships that help teams thrive. He brings these lessons to life in his book, What's TRUST Got to Do with It? Transforming Leadership, Culture, and the Job Search, where he shows how trust becomes the foundation for meaningful relationships and how those relationships drive results.
