Effective Communication is not a soft skill- it's a necessary one for every person, in every role, in every industry- it can make (or adversely break) a person's career success.

The leadership with Auto Financial Group get it :)

Last month, I was invited to spend time with their Sales, Implementation, and Account Management teammembers talking about just that:

* How to identify their Personal Brands
* How to utilize that self awareness to better navigate Interpersonal, Professional, Relationships
* How to use intentional, Effective Communication to reach their Career goals

As always, feeling grateful for the opportunity to work with professionals who are actively working towards better versions of themselves.

Can't wait to see what comes next for these folks!

"Hundreds". As of last night, I can now say I have coached hundreds of people, 1:1 towards their long-term career success.

That's a HUGE room full of people that have put their trust in me

That's a GINORMOUS amount of Client Folders full of technical documents and brainstorming lists

That's a lot of promotions accepted, new jobs acquired, and professional goals achieved!

Bonus: How fitting it is that my 200th Client is a Public Safety Professional who is happy where they are, but are exploring an opportunity that would better position them to make a *more substantial* impact on their community.

I love my people

Feeling extra grateful today that I took the time and gave myself space back in 2018 (shortly after I lost my 6-figure job) to reflect and really get clear on who I am, what I've done, and where I wanted my future to go

This is it.

Today and being able to say I have personally supported HUNDREDS of other people in finding their fulfillment and their career success IS the future I wanted for myself.

To those of you who have given me the opportunity to be a part of your journey, thank you.

You'll never know how much each one of you means to me.

From the bottom of my heart,

Thank you.

This is my poinsettia. Two of them were gifted to me this time last year. When I received them, they were that beautiful vibrant red that we've all come to expect around Christmas time. πŸ•ŠοΈ

Not long after I set them in the windowsill of my kitchen, did they start turning green. 🌿

Come to find, it takes a lot of time and energy and intentionality to create the very specific environment these plants need for their leaves to turn that gorgeous hue.

For over a month, every night right before I went to bed, I put my plants to "bed" in a 100% dark room, too. They need 12 hours of complete darkness. And then they need 12 hours of sunlight. Lots of moving plants. πŸ’ͺ

I was really hoping that even though I hadn't been doing this practice for the 8-12 weeks (that the internet told me I needed to), I would still get my sweet plants to turn. πŸŽ„

The week before Christmas, I had (yet another) big life event.

{typical of 2025}

Our nighttime routine changed.

The hope of my red leaves was all but gone.

I accepted that I would just have green poinsettias for another year, and hopefully remember to start our routine earlier in the season.
..Then last night, on Jan 1st, I was cleaning my kitchen and pruning my plants when I saw this πŸ‘‡

🍁a tiny red leaf 🍁

Life doesn't always happen on our timeline.

Sometimes it happens when we need it most, instead.

Here's to new growth, new beginnings, and hope

✨Happy 2026, friends ✨

Have you ever read a book that you know will be one of those that stays with you through different chapters of your life? Hits differently in different phases? Which is it? πŸ‘‡

I have a few.

Years ago, I read "The Four Agreements: A practical Guide to Personal Freedom"- it was one of those quick reads that truly impacted my life, for the better. It changed my mindset. Gave me a new perspective.

The principles are easy to understand, but the application of them is *anything* but easy for high-achievers and people who expect a lot of themselves and others.

This week, I was putting on a training for a group of professionals in the Automotive Industry, and I referenced the 4 principles.

Little did I know, when I wrote that training, how those agreements would (again) resonate deep within me.

It's been quite a week- in fact, quite a few weeks- not much time to slow down, 0 time to stop, and I haven't done nearly as much journaling as I normally would in a situation like this one (with so much going on)

Today, I'm slowing down.

I'm reflecting.

How should the 4 Principles manifest themselves, for me, right now, in this phase and stage?

How do I hold myself accountable and yet, release myself from things outside of my control? How do I find my personal freedom? How do I find my peace?

In my Recruiting days, I've come across some great, smart, motivated Candidates that *clearly* care for people...

(✨in fact, sending out an offer letter, tomorrow after a successful final interview, today ✨

I've unfortunately also had *lots* of calls with people that I WISH I could coach!

Rule #1:

If you get a call from a Recruiter, and you don't remember what position you put in for with their organization

OR

you don't know the basics of what their company does

(politely)

ask πŸ‘ them πŸ‘ to πŸ‘ call πŸ‘ you πŸ‘ back

and then go dig up your submitted applications and do your homework!

If you can't speak to why you're interested in the position or say anything about the organization you're apparently looking to get hired by...

you're proooooobably not getting hired! πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

πŸ‘‡Fellow Hiring Managers and Recruiters: what basic rule would you add to the short list of "protips"? πŸ‘‡

✨In every chapter, there are things to be grateful for ✨

The question is πŸ‘‡

What are you particularly grateful for, in this chapter?

Learn from my mistake.

And as a reminder, when we are in environments that align with our brand - who we are, what we value, where we are headed- we are better for (not only) ourselves, but the world around us

And we need to be better for the world around us

Especially in this world, today

Him: "Do you know about GYSHIDO?"

Me: "No, I don't think I do, but tell me..."

{a few hours go by, I'm sitting in the Board Room, head buried in my computer}

*smack*

In front of me drops this little red book.

Hardback copy.

GYSHIDO

21 one-page principles

~ Do. Lead. Win.~

"Read it tonight and bring it back to me tomorrow"
.. so I did.

Easy read. Maybe 30 minutes.

0 fluff.

100% this leader.

The entire exchange made me smile.

I love a good book recommendation. I love a decisive leader. And of course I couldn't help but giggle at how "him" both this book and the exchange were.

My only complaint was that he didn't write an inscription and gift it to me.

(and yes, I told him that)

Who doesn't love a personalized gift?

πŸ‘‡Have you ever been gifted a book from someone in your professional network? πŸ‘‡Or gifted one?

The truth I wish weren't real: things can be taken from you. Titles. Jobs. Even property. Good news? NO ONE can take your knowledge from you!

No contest: education is the best investment you can *ever* make in yourself

And while I am a huge proponent of a college education
..yes, even in 2025...

That's not the only education there is to be had

✨Which of your education programs, training programs, etc do you feel has best supported your career success? ✨

Ps- Happy Football Saturday 🏈 and as always
