Most candidates talk about what they can do.
The best ones show it.
When an employer asks for a presentation, it's not a test of PowerPoint skills.
It's a test of whether you understand what they actually buy: transformation, not tasks.
Your goal isn't to list skills or repeat your resume.
It's to prove you ...
Interviewers don't wait until you finish your story to decide if they like you.
They decide while you're still taking your first breath.
In those first 15 seconds, they're asking, "Do I trust this person? Do they get what matters here?"
Most candidates waste that window listing tasks or backstory.
The best ones win it by showing...
Most people think success comes from constant hustle.
It doesn't. It comes from patience mixed with smart action.
Most people chase quick wins.
I learned the real secret is patience mixed with purpose.
When you think long-term, you make better short-term decisions.
You stop chasing every shiny idea and start...
Perfectionism is the great career stall.
Most people don't slow down because they're lazy.
They slow down because they want everything just right before they move.
Job seekers spend months polishing résumés, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles before they ever start actually searching.
Professionals over-edit reports and presen...
Most managers don't actually manage people. They manage tasks.
They tell.
They correct.
They rarely coach.
That's the difference between a boss people tolerate and a leader people trust.
When you learn how to coach and mentor someone, everything changes.
You build loyalty and develop peo...

Last month I celebrated my 59th.
It had me reflecting on the biggest influences that rerouted my path, especially the books that shaped my mindset, my career, my health, and even my view of the universe.
These aren't just books I enjoyed.
They are turning points that literally changed how I live.
Some helped me become a better t...
It was 3:08 in the morning.
May of last year.
I was in my office already a lofty 8 minutes into my day.
Headphones on, speaking (uh, reading) into a microphone… and yelling at ducks.
Yes, ducks.
As I tried to record a passage for The Zebra Code audiobook, those feathered freeloaders on my backyard lake quac...

You've got the skills. You've done the prep.
But the moment you walk into the room (or log into Zoom), it's like you're playing a different game.
Everything seemed fine when you were doing the work and sailing through the projects.
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 ...

You've probably heard the phrase "don't sweat the small stuff."
Well, I'm here to tell you to do the exact opposite.
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, I...

There's a career skill no one taught you in school.
It's not on your resume. It's rarely on a job description.
But it's the difference between being heard and being t...
This week's a special one.
I'm going back to one of the most important lessons I've ever taught.
Self-awareness.
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?
Yeah. Same.

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:
A) Launch into a timeline of tasks you completed?
B) Rattle off a list of responsibilities?
C) Sound like your own resume?
(Oy to the vey.)
If so, don't worry. You're not alone.

I know it's tempting.
A recruiter emails you with your job offer.
You want to reply quickly.
Clear things up.
Maybe even negotiate.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
