"Learning to adapt to the current circumstances is a key to being happy. Right now, it's like this." - Calm App Reflection |
|

Evaluations from some of my early presentations were not great. They included comments that I was "quiet" and "introverted." There was a moment where I wasn't sure this was for me. Where I struggled with not being like a few of my mentors who were entertaining and charismatic.
Then one night before a Colorado Career Development Association conference I had the opportunity to connect with a sought-after trainer.
He shared with me that he was introverted as well!
And he let me in on a secret: his introversion was a gift. Some of the most talented speakers and trainers are introverted. |
|
|
Instead of focusing on their own performance, introverts can capitalize on a heightened focus on the audience. What will benefit them? How do you draw them into the story? This is something I'm definitely still working on, and every time I go to a training on being a more effective trainer (oh, the irony!), they reinforce the power of storytelling. Storytelling is the connector. Good storytellers don't simply tell a story, they engage their readers or audience to the point where they can put themselves into the story. Of course, another key lesson here is that we have to be ourselves to connect with the audience. We must lean into our own strengths and ways of being.
What's your strength in telling stories? Were you a born storyteller or have you worked at it? What makes you an engaging presenter, trainer, or coach?
Hit reply and let me know; I'd love to hear what makes you shine! |

Dec 1 | Certified Hidden Job Market Coach Training Program |
|
|
Job search takes a toll on client confidence, motivation, and follow-through. From targeting their search, to networking and using social media, opportunities for fear to erode their success are constant.
Are you looking for tools to address the fears and barriers that stop job seekers in their tracks?
The Certified Hidden Job Market Coach (CHJMC) program offers a structured approach to job search planning, networking, and proactive search. During this 6-week virtual class, you'll learn how to improve job search strategy, hone your coaching approach, and structure your services so candidates land jobs faster.
And, no, we're not talking about a "hidden job market" created by jobs that aren't listed -- most jobs are posted, especially in the U.S. where company equal opportunity policies require it.
The hidden job market you'll have processes to help clients uncover isn't about how jobs are advertised...it is how your client can be the "referred" candidate (40+% of hiring managers prefer referrals) and how job seekers can uncover the jobs they want, not just jobs that are open on any given day...
(We'll also teach you how to help clients improve their success rate applying to posted jobs, but "balanced job search coach" didn't have the same ring or show up in search results when people look for help.) You’ll also walk away with 40+ worksheets, checklists, scripts, and other tools to use with job seekers throughout the process … all of which you can customize, including adding your business or organization branding!
Delivery: 6 virtual classes (webinar), 1.5 hours each, for 9 hours of training PLUS the 40+ done-for-you worksheets you can customize for your business. No membership or renewal required.

ICF Credits: 4.5 ICF Core Competency credits when you join the live classes!
Classes will be recorded, and you will have lifetime access to the recordings and materials. |

Career Coaching: Do You Need a Career Coach? (US News)
This article clears up a few misconceptions about hiring a career coach. I especially loved the line: “his job isn’t to inundate his clients with a new information but to bring out latent talents, skills and energies. The best career coaches are the ones who help you get out of your own way.” In this week’s Career Confidante radio, Marcia Wall and I discussed a new coaching idea: coddiwomple. Listen in and let us know what you think! |

Recession-Proof Your Business with a Course or Workshop
During times of economic uncertainty, it can be tempting to discount services. This tactic can undermine your income for years to come and may or may not achieve the goal of increased revenue. A workshop or course - whether a few minutes, a few hours, or a few days - can open the door for new clients to deepen their understanding of the services you offer while solving an immediate problem. Join us for a hands-on session where you will create the outline, base content, marketing strategy, and logistics plan for delivering the webinar. Learn more and register. |
