"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
Michael Jordan
#NationalCoachesDay
Richard Boyatzis, professor at Case Western, says "every professional can benefit from having a coach - and serving as one for someone else." An external coach can guide your leaders through further and more lasting development than simply sending them to training alone.
May you find time to gather with family and friends.
May your plates be full.
May the day be filled with love and laughter.
May your blessings be many and appreciation even greater.

#NetworkingNoNo
Don't you just hate it when someone calls you only when they need something? They never ask about you. If this is you, you're doing it wrong. Build a strong support system and #network. Establish a two-way street. Don't be the prickly networker.

#Positivity breeds positivity. The converse is true.
When pursuing a new #career home, be careful what seeps into your brain. If you're worried about being nervous in an interview, you'll be nervous in the interview.
What you think about, you bring about!
#DiscoverYourAha
You MUST write a thank you note to each interviewer within 24 hours of the #interview.
Express your interest in the role, provide an example of how you are right for the role & thank them for their time.
Don't miss a chance to stand out!

I am helping a client screen and interview for an HR role. Nearly half of the people I've called do not have a voice mail greeting setup.
Do yourself a favor, create a welcoming greeting so people know it's you...especially if you are looking for a job right now.
