What an insightful day at the Collision event, hosted by Re-Defined! The panel discussions shed light on the challenges and opportunities within the Canadian job market, the importance of building a strong network, and how to position yourself effectively in the finance and tech sectors. Here are my top three takeaways: Networking is key: Building and nurturing meaningful connections can significantly boost your career prospects. Personal branding matters: How you present yourself, both online and offline, is crucial in standing out to potential employers. Effective communication: Being able to clearly articulate your skills and experience is essential in professional settings, whether in interviews or day-to-day work.

Struggling to talk about your achievements?  . . . 📊Research and surveys shows, "Most of the job seekers either feel uncomfortable talking about their work-related achievements or do not know how to showcase their accomplishments effectively." But, wait! How many work-related awards did you receive till now? One? Two? Ten? No awards? If you're thinking "What do I talk about if I haven't received any awards?", then you are wrong.

Staying at a job can bring stability, but it’s not everything and it’s never 100% guaranteed. Many stay longer than they should simply because they fear the unknown. When you prioritize personal growth, you’re not just advancing your career—you’re investing in yourself. Ask yourself: is your employer creating opportunities for you to grow, increasing your pay competitively, helping you upskill, and aligning with your values? If not, it might be time to rethink. Longevity is important, but the desire for growth and fulfillment is essential. Remember, it’s not just about staying where you are—it’s about finding a role where you can thrive and continuously grow. Next time you feel capped, undervalued, or unfulfilled, consider what’s best for your future.

Just wrapped up an insightful session on career management and leadership at Career Thought Leaders annual symposium in Lisbon, Portugal. Among the key takeaways: As employers, it's vital to focus on solutions rather than problems and customize strategies. Here’s a shoutout to the coaches who shared valuable insights. Antoinette Oglethorpe provided a gameplan that was incredibly useful for structuring our approach in coaching senior executives. During the session, Myriam-Rose Kohn, The Dream Job Expert highlighted the importance of crafting a compelling branding statement to convey unique promise of value. It's all about feeling the energy and affirmation of our approach. As part of a retrospective review of our conference up to this point, colleagues appreciated my approach of seeking one nugget from each presentation that resonated and could provide value to my executive clients; I'm now on the lookout for creative questions to enhance my work in coaching executive clients. Stephen Fischer's discussion on scaling up or down and applying content to our practices sparked some interesting reflections. Likewise, Mac Prichard's emphasis on playing to our strengths and focusing on what we do well is a reminder to stay true to ourselves. Gina Riley's insights on running a small business and leveling up with a team hit close to home. Questions around diversifying offerings and establishing thresholds are certainly worth delving into further. My colleagues also drew inspiration from my perspective on evolutionary growth. We don't need to do everything; instead, let's play to our strengths and focus on growth and maturity. Debra Boggs' insights on interview coaching and resume crafting left a lasting impression. Key questions can reveal valuable information: What value do you offer that differentiates you? What risks have you taken that paid off? What are you most proud of and what legacy do you want to leave behind? As we look ahead to the next #CTLConf, I'm excited about the potential for business development modules and exploring different models for delivering value to clients—executives, faculty, and students. Investing in infrastructure to scale and embracing the evolution of our businesses is key (from ChatGPT and Gemini to Perplexity and Claude). Let's continue to learn from each other and innovate in our respective fields. Grateful for these enriching conversations and looking forward to our continued growth and success. #CTLBrainTrust #CareerBrainTrust #CTLConference2024 #CareerThoughtLeaders
