I don't think folks truly understand how powerful the Michigan Global Talent Initiative ($5 million of annual state funding to ensure immigrant talent helps us reach our Sixty by 30 goals, adding 100,000+ college-educated immigrants to Michigan's workforce). Last week we re-launched a statewide skilled immigrant integration program ensuring that foreign-trained and educated immigrant professionals had individualized job coaching, Upwardly Global software licenses and more. This $1 million program ensures every foreign-trained and educated professional in Michigan has the support they need to thrive. https://lnkd.in/gu3aVzMN

Last week, my resilience was tested and I got a harsh dose of “practice what you preach”. Here’s what I mean… Hosting a LinkedIn Audio Event has beent on my “to-do” list for months. Anything I endeavor to do, I do so strategically and ensure I have a plan and prepare well in advance. To prepare for hosting my own LinkedIn Audio Event, I: ✅ Attended numerous audio events hosted by others months in advance ✅ Participated in LinkedIn Audio courses ✅ Met with individuals who regularly host audio events to gain insights ✅ Created a timeline for launching my course and landing page and chose a date for my audio event ✅ Promoted the event across platforms ✅ Invited individuals in and outside my network to attend I was so excited for the event and looked forward to sharing my BIG NEWS! When the day and time came, I opened the Audio Room and… NO ONE attended. Not a single soul. Crickets. After sitting and waiting for 20 minutes for people to join, I finally shut it down and walked away from my computer. Despite my excitement leading up to the event, it felt like all my time, efforts, and preparation were WASTED. I thought out loud, “What’s the point of promoting and pouring into something no one else finds value in but ME?!” Have you ever felt that way? Had those thoughts? Immediately afterward, I got a text message from a friend I am helping find a job. He was excited to show me that after months and MONTHS of rejection, he finally got TWO responses from employers he visited with at an Inclusive Job Fair I accompanied him to 🙌🏾 What he said next underscored where I had faltered in practicing what I preach… He thanked me for supporting him and reminded me of something I consistently said to him: “You can do all the right things but you can’t make it the RIGHT time. It may even seem pointless to show up at times. SHOW UP anyway and, with time, the RIGHT people will show up too”. With that, I took the weekend to regroup and refocus, as I have advised others to do. Last week’s event wasn’t the right time, but it’s never pointless to SHOW UP. With time, the RIGHT people will show up too. For more information about my BIG NEWS, visit https://lnkd.in/gVqTmDFu. My next LinkedIn Audio Event is May 30th at 1:00 PM CST✌🏾 Check out my Events page to sign up!

"The feeling of making demands isn't something that comes naturally to people from low opportunity backgrounds.” We were lucky enough to head into the offices of our partner Beam last week. We sat down with the fantastic Ziyad about the need for career mentoring, learning to ask for a job you actually want, and what being a career mentor means to him as socially mobile talent himself: “I’m a refugee. I was born in a council house. My mum was a single mum with three children… Me and my siblings would have all been Zero Gravity alumni.” For Ziyad, career mentoring is an opportunity to help out someone who was in his shoes - someone super smart from a similar background, navigating the same unknown waters he crossed himself a few years ago. “What I'm seeing a lot with her is a lot of things I experienced myself post graduating.” Swipe to see how Ziyad is helping his mentee with some graduate career advice - even just where to start with getting a job after university - and some of his general life wisdom. Cheers for passing back your wise words to the next gen Ziyad! Want more Beam? Stay tuned - there’s an in-person Beam event dropping over Summer. Not one to miss if you’re interested in a career in social impact. Register your interest to make sure you don’t miss it 📩 https://lnkd.in/eaVFveD8 #socialimpact #socialjustice #techforgood
