🍀 Happy Saint Patrick's Day! 🍀 As we celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Ireland today, let's also take a moment to reflect on the valuable lessons Saint Patrick's Day can teach us in the job market. First, let's think about resilience. Just as Saint Patrick faced challenges and adversity, job seekers often encounter setbacks in their career journey. But like the shamrock symbolizes resilience, let's embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Networking plays a crucial role in advancing one's career. Saint Patrick's Day is a time for gatherings and celebrations. Similarly, whether attending industry events or connecting with professionals on LinkedIn, building meaningful relationships can open doors to new opportunities. Cultural diversity is another lesson we can learn from Saint Patrick's Day. The holiday is celebrated worldwide, highlighting the importance of cultural diversity. In today's global job market, employers value candidates who embrace diversity and can collaborate effectively with colleagues from different backgrounds. Finally, innovation is key to staying ahead in the job market. Just as Saint Patrick's Day traditions have evolved over time, the job market is constantly changing. Embracing innovation and staying adaptable are essential skills for navigating today's dynamic work environment. Let's raise a glass to Saint Patrick's Day and the valuable lessons it offers for success in the job market!

As a strategy-first communications and visibility firm, my clients and industry colleagues know I have not advised to post a 5min video in today's evolving social media universe. They also know that I advise to break rules when it's worth it. 😉 Please indulge me for a moment.

The Importance of Landmarks   Finally! Springtime in Chicago.   This puts me in the mind of landmarks and the French language.   It will all make sense in a moment.   A few years ago I led a group of MBA students on a study abroad trip to Strasbourg, France.   It was an amazing experience.   Let me get a couple things out of the way here: -       I don’t speak French -       I have a very bad sense of direction   How’s that for confidence in your tour guide, mes élèves?   Anyway, one thing I do remember was a huge, very unique building with the word Printemps on it.   If you don’t speak French or have never heard of this business before, just keep calling it “Print-temps” like I did, at least in my head and sometimes out loud. Silly me.    I’ll show you the proper pronunciation at the end.   Too late to learn French, and unable to overcome my terrible internal map, I just had to learn where a few things were in relation to the Printemps building.   Using Printemps as the center of my circle, I was able to find places to eat, the bus stop, and yes, my hotel room.   Lucky for me, it is a very distinct building.   So the lesson here (besides the one about me being an unreasonable burden of a guest) is that when you feel lost, or a task seems out of hand, is to find a landmark.   Something you recognize.   Something you can handle without getting lost, literally or metaphorically. And then build out from there.   And now, your free bonus learning:   Printemps. Say it kind of like this: prahtom.   Even if you say it like that, you’ll sound less dumb than I did. Not print-temps.   (My French-speaking friends, please tell me how to pronounce this better)   It means springtime.   See you tomorrow!   #spring #landmarks #french #strasbourg #lost

Opportunity. When I can, I take the opportunity to educate others on traditions and causes behind them. Working in a truly diverse setting, but seeing little in terms of seizing these opportunities is actually…well…exciting. Our world is fast. Everything is now, now, now…go, go, go…move, move, move. (Stole that from Daffy Duck) It is important to share meanings behind traditions, holidays, and celebrations/remembrances. Did this for the week leading up to Memorial Day. So maybe it will spark a conversation. A learning moment. A pause as we plan in and around the upcoming holiday. It IS a fast world. Not TOO fast to forget what remains important and meaningful.

Now that it’s the end of April, we can finally say it: summer is coming! (even if the weather doesn’t show it 😉) With summer in sight comes the anticipation of some delightful new adventures. Last year we had our FirstWave drink and our Marbella trip. Let’s make it another great summer together with our team. Hopefully we will see you there soon? #FirstWave #teambuilding #clinicalconsultancy #clinicalresearch #clinicaloutsourcing #summerdrink
