🌟 In 2022, we launched the KBR Pathways program, which is an internal career fair, in direct response to feedback from our People Perspectives Survey. Employees wanted to learn more about opportunities within the organization so over the past year and a half, 13 different business leaders presented overviews of their business, skillsets required, and open job opportunities across KBR. We are excited to transition this program to focus on "Skills of the Future". Moving forward, each Pathways session will cover different skillsets needed to grow, develop and advance your career at KBR, Inc.. There will be robust discussions, resources on how to prepare for the future, and information about job opportunities within KBR.  In this session, I will be facilitating a roundtable style conversation with KBR leaders that will cover #corecompetences and #behaviors of KBR leaders. Our panel members will share about their personal career journey and lessons learned on their path to leadership. Calling all KBR, Inc. employees! Elevate your career journey by joining us for insightful discussions on essential skills. Don't miss this opportunity to grow and advance your career path. 🚀 As always, if you are interested in career opportunities with us, please visit our careers page at https://lnkd.in/gh98shEe, or follow us at KBR Careers!

Happy birthday Karen Richard MBA! There are few friendships I value more than ours. And on this very special day, I want to share one of the many things that makes you so amazing. As everyone knows, Andersen Corporation has been one of my biggest supporters since the inception of the People Of Color Career Fair™. You personally always do your best to stop by and support your recruiting team, and expand your own networks. But what you did this past year deserves special recognition. You asked me if you could get more involved personally, and dedicate your personal time on weekends and evenings to coach Professionals of Color who are well on their way to big things in the Twin Cities. I asked you how many Professionals, thinking you'd coach two or three, and you told me 60! I almost fell off my chair. I was so excited to know 60 People Of Color Career Fair attendees would get to one-on-one coaching with one of the most respected C-Suite executives in our region. And let me tell you, the Professionals that you met with will never forget it! The feedback I received was tremendous, and the insights you shared nearly impossible to come by unless someone in your position agrees to share. This is what "Leading Out Loud" is always about, and so very often, you're who I point to when other executives ask me what they can do to better expand their diverse talent networks! Karen, this, and so many other reasons are what make you a one of a kind. I hope you have the best birthday ever! #HappyBirthday #CorporateLeadership #BusinessLeader #BirthdayGirl #ProfessionalCoach

🌟 Grateful for the opportunity to join the panel on "No Title? No Problem! Leading Without a Team" organised as part of Career Fair going on at #Domain. Here are key insights from today's session: - Embracing Influence Over Control: We explored the concept of influence as a powerful tool for leadership, regardless of title. My fellow panelists shared inspiring anecdotes of how they leveraged their influence to drive change and motivate teams. - Fostering Trust and Collaboration: Trust emerged as a central theme in our discussion. We delved into the importance of building trust within teams and fostering a collaborative environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute, regardless of hierarchical structures. - Leading by Example: Leading without authority often requires leading by example. We exchanged insights on the importance of embodying the values and behaviours we wish to see in others, serving as catalysts for positive change within our organisations. Thank you to the organisers for curating this insightful event, and to everyone who tuned in to join the conversation. Let's continue to empower one another to lead with impact, regardless of titles or formal authority. #Leadership #Influence #Collaboration #Gratitude #leapgrowrepeat

🚀✨ Leading the execution of the Get Hired Career Fair and Expo, presented by Allstate, was an unforgettable experience, and I captured the following in my reflections journal from this journey: Adaptability is Key: When faced with unexpected challenges, I learned to pivot quickly and find creative solutions. Flexibility turned potential roadblocks into opportunities for innovation. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Collaborating with over 100 Allstaters who volunteered their time and talents reinforced the power of teamwork. Together, we brought this event to life, and I realized how much I thrive in a supportive, collective environment. Empowering Others: It was rewarding to see hiring managers engaging with candidates on-site and making job offers. I discovered the importance of empowering others to take the lead and make impactful decisions. Connection is Everything: Hosting workshops and a reception for candidates to connect with leaders highlighted how vital personal interactions are in the hiring process. I felt energized by fostering those connections and realized that building relationships is at the heart of successful recruitment. Celebrating Successes: With 650+ registered, 400+ attending, 101 interviews and 38 job offers made on-site (many more virtual interviews in progress), I learned to celebrate each win, no matter how small. Acknowledging achievements fuels motivation and inspires continued success. I’m grateful for this opportunity and excited to apply these lessons as I continue to grow in my purpose! Here’s to opening doors and building connections! 🥳 #GetHired #Allstate #Leadership #CareerFair #LessonsLearned #Networking
