Stephan Krainer’s Post

What are you reading, this year? I started my year with profound insights from "The Right Choice" by Shiv Shivakumar — an enlightening read on navigating career dilemmas, peppered with many anecdotes and thoughts from senior leaders around the world. Learning to balance financial considerations, navigate mid-career shifts, and understand the intricacies of entrepreneurial journeys has set a positive tone for my 2024. The last chapter, delving into CEO dilemmas, offers valuable perspectives for effective communication and collaboration - especially relevant to my line of work. Here's to a year of informed choices, professional growth, and the wisdom gained from insightful reads! #NewYearReads #CareerInsights #TheRightChoice #2024bookstoread

Happy Friday everyone! Thanks for all your help spreading the word about Black Powder Search. Our community of “triple-vetted” talent is growing and so is our community of business partners so thanks for all the support. We’ve still got plenty of room to grow so please, give us some love and a repost if you can. If this is your first time hearing from us… Black Powder Search is a purpose-driven executive search firm that specializes in placing Special Operations veterans with degrees and business experience into leadership roles at small and medium-sized businesses across the nation. Our community not only places these veterans, but provides a community to help them thrive in their personal and professional lives. They’ve given everything for their country and they deserve to live in abundance, and we aim to make that happen. Special Operators have spent the last 20+ years not only surviving but thriving in some of the harshest conditions the world has to offer, and there’s no reason American businesses shouldn’t benefit from their skills, expertise, and unique perspectives. If you know a Special Operations veteran who has a degree and business experience and would benefit from joining our community, please tag them or share this with them. Likewise if you know of or work at a business that needs leadership talent, introduce us or reach out so we can help. Have a great weekend everyone! #veteranshelpingveterans #veteranemployment #specialoperations #executivesearch #specialforces #navyseals #sof

If you’ve never heard of “Career Cushioning”, you could be missing out… Yes, this term was borrowed from the dating world. You know, where some folks keep their “options” open while still technically committed. (We’re not here to judge.) But beyond the eyebrow-raising origins, Career Cushioning is all about one thing: taking charge of your life before your circumstances take charge of you. It’s not about expecting the worst. It’s about being ready for whatever’s next. Watch 👁 the video for more. #womeninleadership #careeradvice #leadership #executivecoach
