It's that magical time of year when many people reflect and set goals for the coming year. Insights from neuroscience and positive intelligence can create a more meaningful and powerful exercise as we greet the new year in our own way. When we come from a place of "fixing" (like the "new year, new you" messages), our brain is set in fear mode. This means we're making decisions from a reactionary fight/fright/freeze mindset. When we reflect on strengths and accomplishments as we plan for the next year, it puts us in a mindset of creativity and love (for self and others). |

It took me a long time to get this concept. We're so conditioned to think we need to "work on our weaknesses" and "close the gaps" to improve. Thankfully these ideas aren't mutually exclusive and we know more about how these concepts impact our brainpower (or lack thereof). We can recognize the gaps and work on them, and neuroscience suggests that *how* we reflect and set goals makes all the difference. Start with the positive. Start by thinking about what you love about your work, yourself, your clients, and your life. Then, you can move into how those aspects can grow moving forward and help you address weaknesses or turn them into strengths through creative problem-solving. Here are a few LinkedIn posts from last week and this week with more points to ponder if you're setting goals or helping clients with goalsetting. And, of course, we'd love to have you kick off the year with us at the 2023 Career Industry Trends White Paper Release Webinar on Tuesday, January 10, at 4 pm ET. |

Jan 18 | Help Career Changers Find More Meaningful Work with 4 Practical Tools |
|

Surveys show that more people than ever before are contemplating a career change. In the wake of COVID, people have new criteria as they evaluate their career and life - seeking more meaning but not quite sure how to define it.
Join coach and master personal branding strategists Susan Chritton and Marie Zimenoff as they share practical tools for helping clients who are searching for meaning as they navigate a career transition.
Change is everywhere. Clients seek our services when they are undergoing a change in their lives. Guiding them through the tasks is not enough.
To truly add value, we must understand what happens to a person on the inside during times of transition.
This interactive presentation will give you a little bit of theory so that you can have a solid foundation of what transition is. You will be guided through a process that you can use for yourself and for your clients who are experiencing transition.
By the end of the session, you will be able to understand and embrace this quote by William Bridges: “It isn’t the changes that do you in, it’s the transitions. Change is situational – the new site, the new boss, the new role. Transition is the psychological process people go through to come to terms with the new situation. Change is external, transition is internal.”
Get access to the live session, video recording, and handout so you can view it whenever you wish, as often as you wish!

A vast majority of the working population are re-evaluating how work fits into their life. They feel like a career change might help them find more meaningful work, but they aren't sure where to start or what that even means.
This is putting pressure on leaders to retain talent in new ways, requiring a level of empathy and authenticity many aren't prepared for.
Thankfully, they have you! Career services providers, coaches, and writers are uniquely positioned to help these individuals unearth the compass to direct these life-altering choices.
We can help them find the themes, understand how they relate to their key stakeholders, and communicate in the right language.
Are you looking for more tools to help clients achieve this clarity and be poised for not only the next step in their career but armed with the tools they need to be agile and thriving throughout their career?
If you want to finally have the tools and confidence you need to:
- lead clients through more transformational engagements
- articulate a unique value proposition to stand out in a crowded coaching market (and help clients stand out from their peers)
- have a repeatable process and structure so you can focus on each client and know every client will get outstanding results
- attract more ideal clients and make more money with a done-for-you, customizable personal branding strategy business
Then it’s time to become a Certified Personal Branding Strategist!
