Rethink career success by testing, adapting, and staying open to unexpected opportunities.Career planning isn't as straightforward as we often assume—but according to Dorie Clark, that's actually a good thing. Instead of following a rigid path, she believes we should be “treating our careers like a series of experiments”—testing, iterating, and staying open to unexpected opportunities."People assume they need to have everything mapped out for the next twenty years," Clark explains. "But in reality, careers are built through testing, learning, and adapting—just like a scientific hypothesis."As a bestselling author and career strategist, Clark has spent years studying how professionals can future-proof their careers in an unpredictable world. She shares why informational interviews, LinkedIn strategy, and quarterly career check-ins are essential tools for anyone looking to make a career shift. “You don't want to be so mired in your plan that you can't take advantage of unexpected opportunities,” she says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Clark joins host Matt Abrahams to challenge traditional career advice and explore strategic personal branding, the power of weak ties in networking, and why “reinvention isn't a one-time event—it's a habit.”This episode is brought to you by LinkedIn.

And as we delve into the genesis of the International Facilitators Organization, we underscore the shared joy found in a community that champions self-improvement and transparent communication. Finally, we cast a light on the expansive reach of peer mentorship, illustrating its impact in not just corporate settings but also in the personal spheres of our lives. From supporting college students to nurturing spouses and empowering minority groups within global corporations, the stories shared exhibit the versatility and depth of connection that peer groups foster. We dissect the key ingredients that make peer groups effective—professional facilitation, a no-advice policy, and a foundation of vulnerability.

Today, we delve into the life of my long-time friend, Diane Lyon. Diane shares her journey of growing up without a voice and struggling with dyslexia. She bravely found her voice and empowered her son to do the same, ensuring he wouldn't face the same challenges she faced. This led to a national movement, a testament to her resilience and the impact of her advocacy.Diane Lyon has been a passionate and effective advocate for children, adolescents, and adults who struggle to learn to read, with a focus on learning strategies in the home and in the classroom.  In 1995, Diane founded the Parent Coalition for Literacy in Richmond, Indiana. She designed and implemented a statewide advocacy initiative that brought together parents and leaders from the education, legislative, business, and medical communities to build public awareness of the state of the literacy crisis.  The coalition was successful in disseminating critical research findings to educators, parents, businesses, and legislators to guide and improve instructional practices and policies, as well as in implementing professional development programs for teachers and administrators.Diane's passion for education led her to the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. Over three years, she managed programs for a national network of Federal Parent Training Information Centers. Her role also involved developing initiatives to promote research-based educational practices setting critical priorities for parent training resources nationwide. Diane's contributions to the Department of Education underscore her national impact and influence on educational practices. Diane continues to share her personal story of her own experiences with dyslexia, which provides a different level of urgency and attention.

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

Aya Kanai has done what most people don't know how to do— change industries. Over twenty years, she rose through the fashion industry ranks, with experience as a Fashion Director at publications including Cosmopolitan, NYLON, Women's Health, and Teen Vogue, ultimately becoming Editor-in-Chief of Marie Claire. But then Aya started having the desire to evolve. She was genuinely curious to understand how the tech platforms that impact our lives daily shape their own narratives. Connecting the dots between fashion and tech was possible because of her expertise in visual storytelling. Today, Aya is the Head of Editorial and Creative for Google Shopping, where she oversees the development and execution of merchandising and consumer content. She was previously the head of content and creator partnerships at Pinterest. In this episode, Aya takes us on her journey from her college days, where she trained as a Puppeteer, to that junior year college moment when she wanted to put off getting a job and instead applied for an experimental puppet theater fellowship. That opportunity would take her to Poland, the Czech Republic, France, Japan, and the UK, with the only rule that she could not have her feet on American soil for that entire year. That experience taught her to be courageous, independent, and resourceful in challenging circumstances; remember, there were no cell phones or laptops! Aya explains her transition to tech, how she remained fearless while tackling her new experiences, and what she has learned from her peers. She also shares why it's okay to be a beginner and that at various points in your career, you will be a beginner again and again, for better or worse, so you better start getting comfortable with it.

Aviva Wolmer / CEO of Empower Leadership LLC, Vistage Chair of Vistage Worldwide Inc. My purpose is to enhance the lives of others. I want to inspire others to become the leaders they can be through helping them to envision their goals and dreams both personal and professional and empowering them with the clarity and accountability they need to achieve them. As a Vistage Chair, I facilitate group meetings of high-caliber CEOs, senior executives and business owners who help each other grow their companies. Members are fully present, engaged and ready to become better leaders. I challenge each one to continuously exit their comfort zone and strive to improve. I also host a podcast, "Beyond the Comfort Zone." Prior to being a Chair, I was CEO of Pacesetter, where my unique focus on technology, developing talent, and strong family culture made me a pioneer in the steel industry. I challenged preconceptions of the industry, benefiting not only Pacesetter but also the entire market. My culture-based people-focused approach drove results. I invested in my team through coaching and professional development, providing the tools to generate ideas, drive strategy and execute. I have relentless enthusiasm for continued learning and self-development, bringing new ideas to drive innovation and growth in a positive and engaging culture that encourages giving to one another and the community. When I became CEO, I immediately joined a Vistage group to get the support and guidance of people in similar positions. For 6 years, I relied on the wisdom of the group to help me process complex issues and make tough decisions on topics such as talent, M&A, and change management. Now as a Vistage Chair, I get to create an environment that brings diverse perspectives and experiences to CEOs who have a desire to grow and scale their businesses or achieve their visions faster. A mastermind of other CEOs who can come together regularly to share ideas and experiences and help one another avoid wrong turns and accelerate towards their goals. I also host a Podcast and video series: "Beyond the Comfort Zone" geared towards business leaders looking to expand their comfort zones and grow. Making a difference in the community is just as important as making a profit. I have had a longstanding commitment to giving back, including my participation with the Pacesetter Team in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for 5 years, as well as the It's a Journey walks. I served on the Rabbi Search Committee for my Synagogue and co-chaired the Rabbi Transition Committee focusing on a smooth transition of leadership during a time of transformation. Now I lead the communications committee for the Synagogue. When not in the office, I can be found with my husband Michael, son Ari, and dog Violet, spending time with friends and family, or enjoying the outdoors. https://youtu.be/Okel-Sg0-sw Ted Jenkin / Oxygen Financial (Host) Lee Heisman / Savant CTS (Host) Aviva Wolmer / Empower Leadership LLC, Vistage Worldwide Inc.

Catherine and Francis were thrilled to speak with Maris Degener, Manager of Peer Mentorship with Equip, a virtual eating disorder treatment for individual six to 24 years old. After recovering from anorexia nervosa as a teenager, Maris became passionate about harnessing her lived experience to support others experiencing eating disorders. Maris shared her story in the documentary “I Am Maris,” to spread the message that full recovery is possible and destigmatize talking openly about mental health experiences. In this conversation, Maris walks the co-hosts what it was like to receive Family Based Treatment as a teenager for her eating disorder, including the sometimes-difficult experiences with her parents, whom ultimately, she credits for being an important piece of her recovery. Maris shares how yoga became a vital component to her ongoing recovery efforts and provides listeners with other skills she found helpful. Maris talks about her work with Equip, and how mentorship -- both for the individual and for the family -- is an important part of the recovery process often left out of the equation. We thank Maris for her continued work with and advocacy for those experiencing eating disorders, and are incredibly grateful for her time, energy, and vulnerability.

Activating the Four Types of Mentorship When Her Story of Success CEO Leah Glover Hayes was looking for mentorship to help her grow in her career and eventually start a company, she quickly realized that not all mentorship is created equally. And while experts tend to agree that mentorship makes a major difference in determining someone’s career success and fulfillment, few people are sharing specifics about how to find the right mentor and build a mutually beneficial relationship. Leah believes that there are four types of mentorship: Passive mentorship, peer mentorship, traditional mentorship and mentoring others. No matter where you are in your career journey, you can benefit from implementing one or all of these in your life.  In part three of this four-part series, Leah is joined by Anna-Vija McClain to discuss the importance of peer mentorship. Her Story of Success… Anna-Vija McClain didn’t intend to start Piccolo Marketing, but when she needed a source of income after leaving the hospitality industry, she realized that many business owners could benefit from her digital marketing skills. Anna-Vija grew that early work into a successful company that helps small business owners create scalable businesses with great culture. Today, Piccolo Marketing includes Piccolo University, a series of online courses that teach business owners how to market, and Piccolo Marketing Mentor, a service that provides outsourced marketing professionals to business owners.  Outside of Piccolo, Anna-Vija sits on boards for the Tennessee Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence and Nashville Emerging Leaders. She’s also a mentor at SCORE Nashville and a founding mentor for Vanderbilt Women in Business. In 2019, Anna-Vija was a finalist for the Nashville Emerging Leader Chamber of Commerce Award. In This Episode: Leah and Anna-Vija discuss the ways that they’ve used peer mentorship to help expand their networks and learn from other business owners. Anna-Vija also explains how you can develop an abundance mindset and view your relationships through the lens of “cooper-tition.” Episode Highlights: Anna-Vija’s story of starting Piccolo Marketing Using referrals to focus on the work you do best The importance of developing an abundance mindset around peer mentorship How to get the most out of your mentoring relationships Sponsor: This podcast is sponsored in part by Piccolo Marketing, providing outsourced marketing professionals for business owners.  Piccolo Marketing is our go-to resource when it comes to comprehensive marketing strategies and execution.

On today's episode of the Cohort Sistas Podcast, assistant professor at NYU, Dr. Chantal Hailey emphasizes the game-changing role of peer and senior support in doctoral studies. We dive into the role of racial preference, safety and perceived safety in New York. We begin our conversation by touching on the role of race, safety and racialized safety in school choices. Dr. Hailey tells the story of how attending a predominantly white private school piqued her interest in sociological dynamics at a young age. She goes on to tell us about her own journey with school selection and how she experienced NYU's focus on sociology as a whole as opposed to sharing knowledge solely to recruit her into their program was a big selling point for them as an institution. Dr. Hailey shares with us that taking time off between undergraduate and doctoral studies enabled her to develop the confidence she needed to succeed. Next, she shares with us some of the benefits of building strong relationships with students further along in their academic journey than she was. She tells us about the element of competition and the importance of protecting your ideas and gets real about the rollercoaster of highs and lows involved in grad school. We talk about NYU's funding structure, the funding process and the importance of asking questions and allowing people to challenge you. Tune in for some hard-won pearls of wisdom to guide and inspire your doctoral journey.Connect with Dr. Chantal Hailey on Dr. Chantal Hailey, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.If you are a Black woman interested in joining the Cohort Sistas community or you're looking for more information on how to support or partner with Cohort Sistas, please visit our site at www.cohortsistas.com.Find us on Twitter and Instagram, and don't forget to follow the Cohort Sistas podcast, rate, and leave us a quick review wherever you're listening.

The concept of peer mentorship is often discussed in vague, non-specific ways within the context of residency. Why is mentorship such an essential piece of the training experience and what can trainees gleam from ensuring that they gleam all they can from their mentors? Dr.Alaa ElNajjar, a child/adolescent psychiatry fellow at Albert Einstein School of Medicine, discusses Buddies Space: an innovative project aimed at connecting trainees to advisors and mentors who can give them the appropriate guidance and support based on their individual academic and personal interests. In this episode we discuss the following: How can trainees engage with their peers in a meaningful way? What are the benefits of connecting with advisors who will guide you towards the career that you want? How can the concept of peer mentorship evolve from a broad concept to one that is specific to PGY needs? What is Buddies Space and how does it contribute to the dire need for mentor engagement within the psychiatric community?

We all have a story to tell. Our very special guest, Anthony Murdock II, gives us the blueprint on how to leverage the power of our stories, and how through Time Management, Affirmation, and Peer Mentorship we can become PowerPrenuers. Let's Check-In! How to Find Murdock: www.murdockllc.org

The global human trafficking industry brings in over one hundred and fifty billion dollars annually. More than 25 million people -- many the most vulnerable among us, including children -- are victims coerced, tricked or forced into indentured servitude. Sex trafficking is an ever-growing business. During the time of COVID, business is booming, but it has become more difficult to uncover trafficking rings. Our isolation has kept us from seeing who might be a victim, or where they are located.Despite films like Pretty Woman that would persuade us the sex trade can result in a fairy tale ending, it is a life filled with hopelessness and despair, a life our guest Stacy Reed has experienced. Stacy is a survivor, author, poet, and motivational speaker. She has traveled internationally to educate and advocate for victims, and for 20 years has worked with people who experience alcoholism, substance use disorders, prostitution, sex exploitation, domestic violence, mental health, and HIV/AIDS. She has a masters in social work and is currently a PsyD student enrolled at William James College in Newton, MA. She's also Supervisor of Peer Mentorship at RIA House, a non profit on a mission to help end human trafficking and sex exploitation. She believes "No one should be bought or sold for the sexual gratification of another person."We welcome Stacy, and thank her for generously sharing her story during January, National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. If you are or know someone who is being sexually exploited, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of peer mentorship with the extraordinary Emil Sol, Memo's co-coordinator for First To Go's Peer-to-Peer Mentorship Program. Emil shares a few of his involvements that inspire him to create peer mentorship opportunities, his experience being a mentor and a mentee, and how peer mentorship perfectly aligns with his career trajectory. We hope this episode inspires you to become a mentor or a mentee to promote mutual relationships of knowledge sharing and accountability. Stay tuned for our next episode!

Why is it important to have role models? Have you ever seen someone change their life? Was this person influential to you or the community? Peer mentorship is vital in shaping youth’s mentality from following leaders that are negative, into following and even becoming peer leaders that can positively impact a youth’s life.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I work in a small team under 10 people on a new project that should be shipping soon. I have a manager who is leading this project, and I’m the most senior developer on the team. My manager tries to help with the project by writing code, but does it rather poorly. When he wants to implement new functionality, he creates a new branch and brews his code in this branch for 2-3 months, constantly complaining how hard it is to write code in our codebase. After he is done, the resulting code is unreadable, unmaintainable and untestable. He doesn’t write unit tests himself (which is weird, considering he was working as a QA before for several years) and usually breaks good portion of already written ones. I always have to go to his branch and refactor his code so it’s at least testable, fix broken unit tests and write new ones for his functionality. He always makes it look like our codebase is hard to work with, though the rest of the team doesn’t have this problem. How should I deal with this situation? I tried speaking to him directly, but he is pretty stubborn and thinks that he is doing everything perfectly. I can’t talk to his manager, since we have a pretty flat company and his manager is the CEO who I don’t have a direct access to. I work in a digital agency as part of team of 5 front end developers with varying levels of experience. We don’t have a senior / lead / director, it’s pretty flat. I have been told by management that we need to work on peer to peer mentor-ship because each of us have been guilty at some point of spinning our wheels on some problem when we should have reached out. The problem is we all work on different projects, there’s never 2 ““fed””s building the same site, and each site kind of feels like it’s own unique bowl of spaghetti. If you have any pointers about breaking out our code bubbles that would be amazing! Love the show, I hadn’t given non technical skills much thought but you’ve opened my brain! Thank you!

Let me comment on this whole, "Let's get a business mentor" movement. These are the five most common mistakes: 1) Get a self-proclaiming business mentor who never had any other businesses, yet he is teaching business. This was WRONG, because they usually don't have any hands-on experience. 2) Get a millionaire mentor who is too far ahead of you. This was WRONG, because they are talking a totally different business language as they can show you how to scale the business from $100M to $200M while you are just trying to make the first $10k. 3) Get a mentor who is not precisely doing the thing you are trying to do. This was WRONG, because even though somebody might know how to trade crude oil, his knowledge might not apply to growth hacking. 4) Get just one mentor. This was WRONG, because nobody knows everything in all areas of business. 5) Your mentor doesn't listen to any advice from you because he doesn't feel you are on his level. This is WRONG, because once you get to certain level of business, your mentor might learn some things from you as well. There may be things that you mastered but he didn't. You might want to reciprocate (and you should) by adding value to his business. With regular, vertical, mentor-mentee relationships it is usually impossible to achieve your desired results. What is the best solution then? Get several mentors who are slightly ahead of you and are doing things that you are trying to achieve. Once you get to their level, get help from more advanced people in business. This is why Peer 2 Peer Business Mentorship is the FASTEST and MOST EFFECTIVE method of mentorship. It is not entirely vertical and helps the entire group of people in the community to grow their business together and also allows them to help mentor each other.
