Your People - Career Cornerstone 3

The Career Studio

People are the lifeblood of your career. And what I mean by people is essentially learning how to have intentional, insightful, strategic conversations about whatever you need help with.

This is the skill will help you move through the inevitable discomfort of confusion and uncertainty that comes along with transitions. Learning how to have conversations will open doors, it will introduce new ideas you hadn't thought of before, and it will uncouple you from a reliance on job postings (which have an incredibly low success rate - only 2% are ever read by human eyes) and learning to have conversations will uncouple you from recruiters (whose interests aren't always aligned with yours). Talking to people creates the energy and momentum you need to create a career you love on your terms.

In this episode we’ll discuss why people tend to shy away from having conversations and how to reframe networking, so it feels authentic and useful. We’ll discuss how to address the questions and concerns and fears you have about the half-baked ideas in your head. We dive into the importance of honesty and how it’s the critical ingredient in having effective conversations. And you’ll get a 4-step process that will help you generate a list of people to speak to right now and what to discuss with them.

You’ll learn in this episode:

• What prevents you from having effective networking conversations
• How to have conversations that feel authentic and useful
• What to do immediately if you feel lost in your career
• How to use honesty to build genuine relationships while networking

Are you ready to create an energizing career you love?
