Episode Description

Separation from a company, for any reason, can lead to feelings of guilt, anxiety and fear. It impacts self-esteem, confidence, and self worth which makes it almost impossible to muster the influence and impact you need in the interview process. Being proactive about company separation is the best way to keep your confidence intact in case it does happen, and there are many things employees can do in advance. However, if the unthinkable does occur and you find yourself jobless you need to have a solid strategy to get yourself on track immediately. Learn the strategies that Monique uses with her clients who are employed and those who have separated, to boost their confidence and get them prepared for a career transition. We'll discuss how to keep your resume up to date, tips to leverage LinkedIn for networking, best ways for an introvert to network, the importance of practicing interview skills, and how to exude confidence during an interview. Most importantly, you'll learn how to care for yourself and stay grounded during a transition.

Leading with Intention

Thursday at 9AM Pacific on VoiceAmerica Business Channel

Challenges in the workplace and within teams is only increasing as companies struggle to transition to a post-COVID 19 remote work situation. These unstable times have stretched companies and their leaders beyond their capacity, and they do not know how to maintain a balance of authority, empathy, compassion, and assertiveness toward their coworkers, much less continue their own career trajectory. Leading with Intention offers support, encouragement, and tools to help corporate leaders address their personal shortcomings and emerge from these unprecedented times as well-rounded, self-assured leaders. The show focuses on execution - helping leaders learn how to improve soft skills, leadership competencies, and work-life balance. Most importantly, how to ensure that their organization is in alignment from the top down, including leaders and their direct reports.
