The research also includes data from OTT, an in-house tool developed by the Stepstone Group, the parent company of IrishJobs, which analyses online data on job postings and associated information.

Technical Skill is Just the Price of Admission: Why Creatives Must Master Sales and Marketing

Most professionals don't plateau because they've hit their technical limit; they plateau because no one can see their value. In this episode, Kendall Berg breaks down the confidence gap and exposes the real reason talented people stay invisible at work: not a lack of skill, but a lack of visibility, presence, and confidence.

She shares actionable frameworks to build authentic confidence through repetition, feedback, and mindset shifts, along with her 3-step communication model that helps you speak clearly and with authority. You'll learn why success at senior levels is perception-driven, and how to project confidence that's real, sustainable, and aligned with who you are. In this episode, we discuss: How underconfidence keeps capable professionals invisible, while overconfidence can elevate unqualified leaders Why soft skills like communication, influence, and executive presence matter more than degrees or technical expertise Practical frameworks for building authentic confidence through repetition, feedback, and mindset shifts Tactical tools for clear communication, including Kendall's 3-step model: context, problem, recommendation The idea that success at senior levels is perception-driven — you must be seen as confident to be promoted What's one “corporate game” rule you've learned the hard way?

Send us a textHave you ever stopped to consider the true cost of a product—not just the dollars spent, but the environmental footprint left behind?In this powerful episode of Project Management Masterclass, host Brittany pulls back the curtain on what sustainability really means in the world of project management.

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette  and guest Sam Waines from Barn 2 Plugins dive into the world of video content creation within the WordPress community. They discuss practical tips on equipment, editing software, and the importance of audio quality. Both share personal experiences, challenges, and lessons learned, emphasizing storytelling and authenticity as keys to audience engagement. The conversation also covers adapting to trends like short-form video and balancing technical skills with creativity. The episode offers actionable advice and inspiration for aspiring content creators looking to improve their video production and connect with viewers.Top TakeawaysContent Is King—Even with Imperfect Production: Across the discussion, Michelle and Sam stress that storytelling, relevance, and usefulness matter more than having flawless lighting, audio, or editing. Viewers are drawn to authentic, valuable stories, not just polished visuals. Imperfection is not a deal-breaker if the message resonates.You Don't Need Expensive Gear to Get Started: Michelle began her podcast with just her built-in Mac mic; Sam started with a $12 lav mic. Both reinforced that starting with what you have—whether it's free software like Audacity, basic webcams, or a phone—is more than enough. You can upgrade incrementally as your content and skills grow.Audio Setup and Environment Make a Big Difference: Simple adjustments like mic placement, soundproofing with rugs or curtains, and checking input levels (especially after software updates) can dramatically improve audio quality. Sam recommends keeping recording levels around 25–50% and watching for clipping using tools like OBS or native Mac settings.Mentioned In The Show:Barn 2 PluginsNomad With UsDaVinci ResolveBlue YetiSony a6400WordPress.orgElementorStreamYardZoom Adobe RushAudacityDescript GarageBand iMovie Screen StudioMira teleprompter software

Send us a textWhat truly separates average technicians from those consistently bringing in $20,000 days? Contrary to what many believe, it's not experience or technical knowledge—it's masterful communication.The psychology of technical sales hinges on three critical components. Body language accounts for a staggering 55% of your impact, creating immediate impressions within seven seconds of meeting a customer. Your posture, facial expressions, and positioning silently broadcast your confidence and trustworthiness before you speak a single word. Even subtle microexpressions—fleeting facial movements that happen unconsciously—can make or break customer trust.Next comes mirroring at 37%, a psychological technique that builds rapid connection without manipulation. By subtly matching a customer's speaking pace, tone, or repeating their key phrases ("I'm just trying to figure this all out" → "trying to figure this all out"), you create neural resonance that deepens trust. This tactical approach transforms skeptical homeowners into collaborative partners.The final 7% comes down to precise word choice. Weak language patterns ("I think," "hopefully," "this might work") subtly undermine authority, while confident phrasing ("what I recommend is," "this is the best long-term solution") establishes expertise. The "feel, felt, found" framework effectively addresses concerns without creating pressure.When these three elements work together—proper body language during entry, mirroring during problem assessment, and powerful language during solution presentation—service calls transform from confrontational to collaborative. The result isn't just higher close rates and revenue; it's better workdays for everyone involved.Ready to elevate your communication skills? Choose one area to focus on for your next five service calls. Track the changes in customer response and watch your results transform. Share your success stories with colleagues and help elevate our entire industry—because in technical service, how you communicate matters more than the wrench in your hand.

Rachael has been a major force in Nashville for over a decade, collaborating with legends such as Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, and T-Bone Burnett. She also produced and recorded all the music for the Showtime series George & Tammy, starring Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon.Rachael shares her journey from growing up in the South to becoming a trusted name in Nashville's production scene. We discuss her beginnings as a session engineer, the lessons she learned from top producers, and how she built a career by combining technical precision with a deep understanding of artists' needs. She talks about her work on TV and film projects, including George & Tammy, Nashville, The Old Man, and the indie film Downtown Owl.What stood out to me in our conversation was Rachael's clear commitment to collaboration and service. She sees music production as a people-first business and takes pride in delivering on an artist's vision, sometimes in unconventional ways, but always with heart. From navigating the pandemic to shaping organic sounds across genres like country, Americana, indie, and rock, Rachael's story is a testament to adaptability, creativity, and love for the craft.Thank you for listening!

Patient Advocacy in the Hospital and Society, with Ashlee Murray, MD, MPH 

By day, Justin Mondeik applies his technical skills in engineering; by night and weekend, he races Super Late Model cars.From racing snowmobiles at age four to competing just one level below NASCAR, Justin has built a career on technical skill, hands-on passion, and relentless drive. In this episode, he shares how a technical education prepared him for success on and off the track—and how motorsports can help manufacturers reach the next generation of talent.In this conversation, Justin takes us inside the highly technical world of racing—from chassis dynamics and car setups to the conditioning and precision it takes to win.We explore how manufacturers are using racing sponsorships not just for brand exposure, but as a creative workforce strategy to recruit skilled, hands-on talent. It's a conversation that'll get you thinking about how education & industry can leverage ultra-creative ways to engage the next generation of workforce talent.Listen to learn:Hear what it's like to be behind the wheel of a race car, and all the unseen work that goes into winningWhy hands-on experience and technical training give racers an edgeThe science—and occasional mystery—behind setting up a winning carHow educators can leverage students' hobbies to engage them in hands-on learningHow companies can tap into motorsports to recruit the next generation of talent3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Technical education can give students an edge—on and off the track. Justin's background in mechanical design from Northcentral Technical College and Michigan Tech gives him a competitive advantage in racing—from car setup to real-time problem-solving. That same hands-on, systems-based thinking is exactly what manufacturers need in their workforce today.2. Motorsports audiences are filled with future skilled workers. Fans who show up at the track tend to be mechanically inclined, hands-on, and deeply interested in how things work—traits that align closely with careers in manufacturing, machining, and engineering. These are often the same students who thrive in tech ed programs.3. Industrial employers can benefit by getting creative with their workforce outreach strategies. One of Justin's manufacturing sponsors used his car and race-day presence to launch a targeted hiring campaign—and successfully recruited new employees. Since there's so much overlap in racing fans and technical talent, it's a creative place for manufacturers to immerse themselves and engage with a potential workforce.Resources in this Episode:Connect with Justin Mondeik Racing: https://www.justinmondeikracing.com/Connect with Justin on Social Media:Facebook  |  Instagram  |  X  |  TikTokWe want to hear from you!

#294 In today's episode, we will discuss 15 side hustles that you can start today with little to no money! I've never really loved the term "side hustle" I don't love the word hustle and don't buy into hustle culture. And the word side hustle to me has always implied something you kinda did on the side and didn't take too seriously. But my perspective on this term has changed somewhere recently. A few months ago I started listening to a podcast called The Side Hustle Show with Nick Loper. The combination of hearing stories from Nick's guests on different side hustles they have started and interviewing and working with others who have started side hustles of their own either as a way to start their business or as a way to help make some extra income on the side has caused me to be more open to this term and open to the fact that not everyone is wired like me. And for some people that means starting something on the side that can either support their family for a season or later on turn into that thriving scalable business with systems and processes which is what I REALLY love! BUT you gotta start somewhere and for many, that means starting something on the side... In today's episode, Brien Gearin interviews the Kind of Side Hustle himself, Nick Loper, and they go into depth on 15 side hustles that you can start today! This has been one of my favorite episodes so far and I got a ton of value out of it personally and I have no doubt you will as well!

In this episode of the "Get Hired" podcast, host  Nicky Bulmer and co-host Michelle Frechette interview Tatiane, an experienced WordPress developer. Tatiane shares her journey in WordPress development, emphasizing her skills in creating and customizing themes and plugins. The discussion covers Tatiane's approach to handling feedback, collaborating with teams, and optimizing WordPress sites. Nicky and Michelle provide Tatiane with resume and interview tips, highlighting the importance of clear communication and showcasing both technical and soft skills. The episode concludes with practical advice for job seekers, reinforcing the podcast's mission to enhance job application materials and interview skills.Top Takeaways:Cover Letters Should Be Concise & Tailored – A strong cover letter shouldn't just repeat the resume. Instead, it should highlight why your skills and experience are a great fit for the specific role and company. Less is often more—focusing on one key project or skill that directly relates to the job can make a stronger impact than listing everything.Confidence & Clarity Matter in Interviews – Candidates should confidently communicate their skills, especially when discussing technical expertise. Using specific language, such as naming programming languages or frameworks, helps interviewers understand the depth of knowledge. Additionally, if an interviewer has an accent or uses unfamiliar words, repeating for clarification or asking them to rephrase is a good strategy.Continuous Improvement & Adaptability Lead to Success – Surrounding yourself with the language, culture, and best practices of your industry (as Tatiane did with English) makes growth easier. Being open to feedback, refining application materials, and improving communication skills over time can significantly increase job prospects.Mentioned In The Show:The Events Calendar Liquid WebDungeons and DragonsGitHub WPIncludes.me
