Pleased to announce I’ll be sharing my secrets at hired!bcn in June for how to create a culture that does talent attraction for you! Ten years ago I set out as a broke lad with no money, no network, no profile and no testimonials for what I wanted to do. But I had a burning desire to see a better working world and an unbreakable belief that a positive experience of work for people leads to better business performance anyway. It was not easy to get established, selling a service means selling an idea - and selling a new idea… Doing that without a background in sales either meant I had to rely on one thing to get to do what I wanted to: Authenticity 🫶 I say the things that I truly believe. Some people like me for it, some people hate me. But if nothing else, I hope they see me as someone who cares and is trying to make a positive difference in the world. And that’s all I rely on today too, but it’s led me to working with clients all around the world, in lots of different industries, getting to know their businesses, their people and what makes them tick. I’ll be sharing my views at hired!bcn based from that. Oh, and a sprinkling of insights from our new employee experience platform, mooqi, too - so I can give a voice to the people who matter most and ultimately determine the fate of our businesses - the employees 🙌 If you’re interested in creating the kind of culture where people: 👉Want to take jobs 👉Thrive in what they do 👉Want to stay Grab your ticket via the link in the comments, and here’s a special discount code: CRAIG10 If you’ll be there, do say hi! P.S. I’m also excited to hear and learn from the other speakers: Manjuri Sinha Paul Else Alla Pavlova 艾菈 Anaïs Neumann Serdzan Şimşek Arnautović Marta López @Zvjezdana T.

The harsh truth about to-do lists You’ll likely have a never ending list of things to do. One long list of all the tasks you ‘could do’… I say ‘could do’ because realistically, you’ll never get all of them done that day, week, or sometimes, even that month. Other things will come up and get added to the list - it’s never-ending remember.. But here’s the thing, not everything on your list is a priority. It can’t be! On a daily basis, I pick the top 3 three things I 'must do' - if I can get anything else done great, if not at least I know the priority jobs are covered. How do you manage your to-do list? #Lists #DigitalProjects #DigitalProjectManagement

🚫 Turnoff inbox I don't get it when people turn their In-boxes off to In-mails. Sometimes I wonder if it's a mistake❗️. 🚩Even if you are very satisfied with your role, if the absolutely perfect role came along your way, wouldn't you just be interested in hearing about it? ☠️I know you might get some roles that you aren't interested in; you aren't even obligated to respond to those. Does anyone have any ideas on this? #LinkedInTips #Networking #CareerGrowth #JobOpportunities #InMailStrategy #ProfessionalNetworking #CareerAdvice #JobSearchTips

"How will sharing my personal story get me hired?" "It doesn't connect to the work I do", I used to say... I was terrified of people judging me. And I mistakenly thought it would be unprofessional. • I was terrified of reliving painful experiences • I didn't want to sound like I was telling a sob story • I was worried people would get biased So whenever I had an opportunity to "pitch my work", I'd go on and on about: • My certifications • The "impressive" companies I worked for • And geek out on the details of my work People politely nodded. They'd zone out. I realized I was actually coming across like a bigger loser than I intended. So I decided to perform an experiment... (And trust me it was painful at first as an introvert) I put myself out there and talked about how my dad almost killed me at 17. How I fled my country of birth and had to hit the reset button several times: • Almost failing engineering school • Surviving my mom's cancer diagnosis • Pivoting careers more than 5X cuz I was miserable • Leaving a 6-figure salary & starting my business My story didn't just help me "sell" what I do... It helped me get clear on: My values + My passion + People I love working with It got me hired by 1,000+ clients in < 4 years that I absolutely LOVED working with. These clients knew I could help them because they saw themselves in me... And it's not JUST because of my "methods" and "frameworks". So before you shy away from sharing your personal journey, I want you to remember: 1. Talking about your work isn't talking about yourself 2. People hire you if they see you give a shit So show them you give a shit. And for the love of God... TELL YOUR STORY. P.S. Are you struggling to structure your story & connect it to what you do? Comment 'Story' to attend my free LinkedIn Live. It's time to be brave, friends. Who's with me?

Have Glassdoor reviews ever put you off applying for a job? Apparently, Glassdoor is going to start insisting people leave their real names when they review their employer 👀 But who does this benefit…? It seems to me like this only encourages positive reviews, rather than honest – and potentially negative – ones. I know so many cases of employees being begged by their bosses to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor, and I’ve seen some SHOCKER reviews of ex-employees too. So, what’s the verdict? How do you think employers should approach Glassdoor? And do you trust it?

I've seen a lot of job-change announcements on LinkedIn here, recently. Congrats, everyone! If you are adding a teammate, this is a perfect opportunity to make a splash for your organization. We published an article about this a while back. Thought I'd share it again: https://lnkd.in/ggy7VrHR #linkedinannouncement #newhirespotlight

This was one of the posts that really inspired me from Nada Buhendi. I find these kind of stories to be beautiful because they are innately human. Many of us feel like we need to be perfect at everything we do. There is no such thing as perfection. It is like infinity, it is a concept that can’t be reach because every time you move closer it moves an equal distance out of reach. I love the vulnerability in it, the acceptance of self and throwing away of the fear of judgement. #TrueSelf #Vulnerability #Perspective #JobHunt #PerfectImperfections #RealLifeStruggles #HiringThePerson #Overcoming #UnlockingYourPotential
