For any manager or leader, helping employees communicate what they want out of their careers and helping coach them through the skill gaps is critical to retaining and growing great talent.

@vvanedwards Use this at the beginning of every client conversation. Then ask how's your INSERT DAY going?

I find the trick, though, is when they usually ask that same question back -- I actually answer how my day is going. It allows everyone just to be real and relatable.

@randomrecruiter @businessbarista Likewise on losing my father. On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and On Grief and Grieving by David Kessler were both helpful to me going through the grief journey.

Hey @SouthwestAir

My original flight was CMH > DEN > PDX. Arriving at 11 AM.

I was rebooked at 10 PM last night. Now my flight is CMH > PHX > LBG > OAK > PDX. Arriving at 5 PM.

Now my fight is dealing with technical issues.

Can you at least ask next time before you rebook me? This is absolutely ridiculous.

[Phillip Migyanko @pmigyanko]

@vvanedwards Best summary of the night!

@Camp4 This is exactly what I need to hear right now and guidance from therapy. Being in a relationship is a choice and some seasons are easier than others.

@HerminiaIbarra @HerminiaIbarra Will you be recording an audio version!? That would be amazing if you did!

[Phillip Migyanko @pmigyanko]

@HerminiaIbarra Just recommended the book today! Can't wait to read the revised Working Identity and the newest additions!

[Phillip Migyanko @pmigyanko]

@randomrecruiter Great perspective here!

[Phillip Migyanko @pmigyanko]

Keeping your options open is career choice within itself. It is not actually committing to anything and thus going multiple different directions without making progress anywhere.

We can never know if we're making the right choice but we must figure out -- Is this in the right direction overall for my life?

[Phillip Migyanko @pmigyanko]

@fuel50 Yes @fuel50 and them being in the drivers seat of the career is key.

"There are 2 preconditions for any organization that wants a healthy workplace culture:

1. Leaders must model the culture they hope to create

Make growing your career a priority today.

Most wait until they are unhappy or so burned out that they are unable to get started.

Here are 5 lessons I learned in the last 6 years as a career coach:
