But to articulate that to someone who doesn’t know you…ugh.
In these cases, your words matter.
We’ve all been there.
You say something. You think it makes sense.
But the reaction you get?
Confused. Unmoved. Maybe even tuned out. Ugh.
Communication isn’t about what you say.
It’s about what the other person hears and, more importantly, how ...

If you want to perform at the highest level, if you want to grow in your role, get promoted, or become a standout in your field, you better sweat the small stuff.
Because that’s where mastery lives.

This week’s a special one.
I’m going back to one of the most important lessons I’ve ever taught.

Have you ever tried to start your day with the best intentions only to have your attention hijacked by email pings, barking dogs, or that mysterious ice maker noise in the kitchen?

Want to think like a high achiever?
I’ve coached thousands of professionals and one pattern is unmistakable.
High achievers think differently.
It’s not about having more time, money, or luck.
It’s about how they frame challenges, filter distractions, and focus their energy.
That’s what today’s podcast is all...
Question for ya…
When the interviewer asks you to “tell me about a time when…,” do you:

I know it’s tempting.
A recruiter emails you with your job offer.
You want to reply quickly.
Clear things up.
Maybe even negotiate.
But email is the worst place to have that conversation.

Have you ever heard of Albert Mehrabian?

Ever felt cornered when a recruiter asks, “What’s your expected salary?”
Only you and about a bajillion other job seekers.
I’m a little sick and tired of silly recruiters cornering you about this.
It’s TOO EARLY in the process to be doing this nonsense.
Why do people not show each other their “balance sheets” on the first date, ...

Worried your age is playing villain in your job search?
Lemme tell about Jayme.
She joined my Job Search Coaching Program when she was 74. Got a job with Verizon by beating out literally 10s of thousands of people. She says so right here in the over 50 section (but I’m wondering if I should create an over 70 section). Read more
