Katharine is a member of the Pinnacle Society, a fantastic group of recruiters who are among the top producers in the United States. Episode Outline and Highlights [01:58] Katharine's background in a talent agency and how she went into recruiting. [06:47] Discussion on how Katharine transitioned from being a director to becoming a business owner. [19:43] Building teams that drive company growth. [25:36] What is the secret to building trust with your clients and candidates? [32:25] Why Katharine loves MPC marketing and her process. [39:54] Initiating conversations with hard-to-reach roles. [47:04] What a support team looks like for big billers. [50:11] Quick Q&A on Katharine's operational structure and business model. [52:55] Katharine reveals the biggest challenges she had to face as a recruiter. Three Key Elements When Building Effective Teams to Drive Company Growth One key highlight in my conversation with Katharine is how she builds trust with clients and candidates when building teams in key projects. She fondly recalls how her first hires eventually became CEO and CFO, which makes her extremely proud. “So if I get a certain number, hey, we're looking for these, I just have to go find that soft skills, that personality, that desire, that career drive, whatever it is that they're looking for that will help drive the company's growth and change and hopefully last for a really long time.” Katharine shared three critical elements when building an effective team that drives the company's growth: Building trust - she emphasized the importance of understanding client needs and having honest conversations. Hustle - Katharine encourages showing up every day and committing to the craft.. Delivery & Execution - Katharine values getting the job done quickly and efficiently. She concluded, “ But, yeah, it's, that combination of trust and hustle, delivery and execution is just such an important piece to what we do on a daily basis.” Initiating Conversations with Hard-to-Reach Roles Some recruiters struggle to reach hard-to-reach roles, such as CEOs and portfolio owners. This may only sometimes be the case for Katharine. When we discussed her approach to MPC Marketing, I learned that it enables her to connect with key roles like board members and CEOs. She shared a few tips on how she does this. She shared that the caliber of talent will always get you the conversation. She thinks working with good talent (MPC) is important as it will likely get people interested. But this is not enough; you also need to get creative in getting your talent information across. She shared her conversation style to build trust, including using her personality and being genuine. The other thing is the mindset. As we all know, doing campaigns is also a volume game. Katharine is very much aware of this: “A lot of people are never going to answer my phone or answer my calls. And I don't take offense to it. Some people are just not going to like me. Right. They're not going to want to work with me. I'm okay with that. So. But I'm going to keep trying. And you never know. Maybe I'll break through at some point.” Katharine Reveals Her Biggest Challenge I love stories of resilient recruiters, so I had to hear about Katharine's biggest challenges in her career. Most successful recruiters face the biggest challenges, and we can pick up nuggets of wisdom from their experience. She shared how they were knocked out during COVID-19, but that did not stop her from working. She kept on talking to people, marketing candidates, and positioning herself. “So that was, you know, getting. Having the ability to continue to make those calls and show up, even though you're hearing no for six, seven, eight months? It was hard.” What motivated her to stay in the game and keep pushing? “It was simple. I just knew any day could be the day to make that break. Eventually. I knew the dam was going to break. Right. I knew that people had hiring needs. I knew that people were looking for jobs or were not happy in their current roles. And I just knew that if I showed up every single day and did what I do, that at some point it was going to pay off.” Our Sponsor This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.

Dan Briggs is the loveliest guy, a gentle giant with two great passions; his family (including a brand new and super cute puppy he got for Father's Day) and his job as Executive chef at Chin Chin. Dan has been part of the Chin Chin family for his whole career, which says a lot about the kind of environment the Lucas Group creates, and also about Dan's loyalty. I went in to Chin Chin on Flinder's Lane on a Wednesday afternoon and it was pumping. I think it is always pumping. We talked about the phenomenon of this sort of popularity, as well as advice for young people thinking about becoming a chef, and Dan gave me a behind the scenes tour of Chin Chin, which I of course absolutely loved. I don't know if you know this, but the kitchens at Chin Chin are tiny. They put out so much food every service and it is a party in the restaurant and an absolutely perfectly choreographed and organised magic place out the back. I loved every minute of my chat to Dan and I know you will love listening to it.
At the time of this recording, Dan worked with Lucas Group, one of the military recruiting firms that a lot of transitioning veterans work with during their exit from the military. He now works with Cohen Partners doing much of the same work. There can be a lot of bad images out there for these firms so I wanted to sit down with someone on the inside to talk about what they think from their point of view.
EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode of Chan With A Plan, host Max Chan speaks with Joshua David (JD) Elliott, a former military member who is currently a headhunter for Lucas Group, a Korn Ferry Company and a Podcast Host for the podcast The Military Corporate Survival Guide. In this conversation JD discusses his transition from the military to Corporate America and provides advice and strategies to other military members that are looking to do the same. QUOTES “Another struggle I had was the idea that it's okay, if I mess up. Because in the entrepreneurial world, for example, or in the corporate world, whatever's going on, you learn through failure, you get so much more data from failure than you do from success. However, in the military, if you fail, there's a chance someone's going to die.” - JD Elliott “[When it comes to pursuing further education] it really comes down to what they want to do from a salary perspective. Right now, it's a hot job environment. It really doesn't matter. And when I'm looking at MBAs, for example, unless it's Harvard, Yale, Princeton, I don't advertise you as having an MBA, I advertise your military experience, because there's a lot of people with MBAs, that are just not worth it. That's really what it comes down to.” - JD Elliott “When I had interviews with, you know, Fortune 100 companies. Looking back, I see now that I came across as a bit on the cocky and arrogant side, which is not okay. Corporations are looking for someone who is teachable, who is hungry, and is willing to learn. So the biggest mistake, and I've had people that have made it to final rounds of interviews, and every one that failed, has come down to the fact that they thought highly of their skill sets more than they should have.” - JD Elliott TIMESTAMPS [1:00] Meet JD [2:19] How JD pivoted from military to Corporate America [4:26] Challenges that JD faced from pivoting from military to entrepreneurship [7:10] How JD's experience in the military made him more effective in Corporate America [8:11] Common challenges and fears military members have when they try to get into corporate and solutions to resolve them [14:47] Discussing whether military members that want to get into Corporate America should go back to school and further their education first [16:12] Common reasons why military members leave the military to pursue a corporate career [17:20] Roles military members should look at right away to ease their transition into a corporate career [19:49] The benefits for military members to use a recruitment agency to land a corporate role [20:45] Common interview mistakes military members make [24:51] Why some military members should stay in the military and not make the switch to corporate [27:37] JD's experience with the military and why he decided to join [28:46] Why you should consider joining the military [30:22] Learning lessons that JD had throughout his career and what advice he would give someone to grow their income and live a more fulfilling life [33:54] Strategies on how not to overspend [35:47] A career challenge JD is currently working on, and what he is doing to overcome it to become who he truly wants to be [36:59] Contacting JD [38:20] Outro RESOURCES & RELEVANT LINKS Military to Corporate The Survival Guide Podcast Chan With A Plan Chan With A Plan Facebook Group

Nabila and I have been trying to catch up for months. Lockdowns and life threw everything in our path. So, by the time we had coffee on Domain Road, South Yarra, I did feel as though I was catching up with an old friend. But Nabila is like that, a breath of fresh air and a bold honest voice in hospitality. It has been months since I had had a conversation with a chef, and my goodness, talking to Nabila was the best conversation to get back into it. Strong, articulate, endlessly impressive, with chefs like Nabila in Melbourne, hospitality is in excellent hands. Nabila actually started talking immediately I met her, and I only started recording a couple of minutes in so that I didn't miss a thing. So, she, quite rightly, starts off what I am sharing with you.

Bethany and Ellie open this week's episode discussing philanthropy and giving back. They go over the scientific studies that show it is better for you physically to give back. They stress that it is not just volunteering, but it is also better to be kind. Sometimes you can't give money, but you can also ways share a smile. Joining the conversation is Jay Lucas, the founder of the Lucas Group. He says the thing he is most proud of, and he finds the most reward in, giving back. He is highly involved with an organization called Children of Fallen Patriots, which is an organization that pays for the college education of any child who loses a parent in military service. They will pay for whatever it takes to make that child success, and they have taken care of over 1,150 kids.

He also gives ways people can give help those who have lost a parent in the military. Resources: fallenpatriots.org newhampshiresupportsfallenpatriots.com
