"How Meeting Roger Goodell Fueled My Dream of Representing a First-Round Pick" Meeting Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, at the NFL Draft was a pivotal moment in my journey as an aspiring sports agent. Engaging with the leader of the NFL, who started as an administrative intern in 1982 and rose to commissioner in 2006, was both inspiring and motivating. Key Takeaways: Perseverance Pays Off: Goodell's rise from intern to commissioner highlights the power of dedication and hard work. Seize Opportunities: His story is a reminder to embrace every chance to learn and grow. Set Ambitious Goals: This encounter fueled my ambition to represent a first-round draft pick and turn aspiration into actionable goals. My Message to Fellow Young Professionals: Stay committed through challenges. Embrace unique experiences as stepping stones. Dream big and let your aspirations drive you forward. Meeting Roger Goodell wasn’t just a memorable moment; it was a catalyst for my future goals as a sports agent. Have you had a defining moment that inspired your career? Share it—I’d love to hear your story!

If you’re struggling to figure out how to shift your career: Let your interests guide the way. In 2006, I moved to Atlanta from Puerto Rico, with no set professional path. So, I followed my passions and hobbies: Working out, retail, technology — and got hired in these industries. The skills I learned from those seemingly unrelated jobs continue to impact my life: • Blockbuster - Manning the floor demonstrated the power of asking clarifying questions. • Bally's - Selling gym memberships taught me how to craft offers based on the customer’s goals. • Verizon - Being a sales rep required empathizing with someone before trying to help or sell them anything. Right now, all of your different experiences may not seem like they work together, but trust me they do. As a business owner, I use these lessons daily. This summer, we're celebrating Tyrannosaurus Tech’s 8 year anniversary. 🥳 What's your "unlikely" career journey been?

At the start of the summer we welcomed a Marketing intern to the Paragon People team to help provide insight into work trends and issues affecting the younger generation of employees. This article takes a particular look at the changes we can expect from Gen Alpha entering the workforce in larger numbers and has been prepared by our intern based on their own reflections and experiences. Take a look ⬇

Yesterday I celebrated my official 1-year anniversary working at Rite of Passage, and with a little less than a year out of college, I wanted to recap the good and the lessons learned that happened this past year for the upcoming grads who are shivering in their boots as they enter the professional world. Lessons Learned: - Imposter syndrome is real. It is easy to feel like you aren't good enough for your new career but the "I am good enough" mantra works wonders when you are feeling that way! Fake it until you make it, or something like that. -Other people bring great inspiration! Creating relationships with coworkers, industry experienced individuals, and our audiences helped me greatly in creating solutions and feeling inspired in my role. - Creativity is a reflection of your environment. Surround yourself with great people, the setting that works for your brain when possible, and a company that reflects your values. Great Accomplishments - I got the opportunity to run and manage a movie release campaign for ROP that made a large impact on our audiences across the country. - Nearly 1800 new followers on our platforms in just about 7 months of consistency. Super proud of this accomplishment as 3 of 4 platforms were brand new/being actively used for the first time. - I moved to a new state, which while intimidating, allowed me to prosper in the things I wanted to be doing. You learn a lot about yourself when you move somewhere new! So excited to see what the future of my career brings and the continued development of my goals! Now the question is, do I congratulate myself from our company LinkedIn page...? Social media struggle. #CollegeGrad #SocialMedia #Communications #ROPiversary
