Gratefulness takes guts. If the year 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that there’s a lot that can bring us down. Sometimes it takes more to find the good, the silver lining, the gifts.

It sure sounds like an admirable title, to be considered a go-getter, and most employers, while hiring for diversity, experience and education are also looking for go-getters. These people are determined and ambitious and will work hard for the success of the company. But while go-getting is a great trait, it really needs to be taken a step further. Go-getters need clear direction and vision. They need a goal!

“I was kind of thinking that…” “I just wanted to say…” Language like this doesn’t communicate confidence. And as a result, you might be knee-capping your own career. 

Let’s talk about something I call six-figure swagger! And yes, you can swagger even while working from home and communicating remotely. In fact, without outside distractions at the office, there’s no better time to work on creating a confident, personal brand.

Whether you’ve just graduated, or you’re a seasoned pro, we all have career decisions that give us some anxiety. Recently, a friend’s teenager asked her, “How am I supposed to get a job based on experience if no one will hire me and give me experience?”

You may be sheltering in place or even locked down at home, but your goals don’t have to be. It’s time for long-term thinking, planning and strategizing.

What weird and trying times we are in! I know people are afraid. Afraid of getting sick, losing money in their retirement, having enough to eat, being able to pay their mortgage, spending money. It’s times like this that we might be tempted to think: I can’t sell anything! But that’s not true. In fact, what if I told you that this is actually the perfect time to sell? What if I told you that there is a way to sell in times just like this? There is! It is called kindness.

My friend Jamie gets whatever she wants in life. What makes her so compelling? Is it luck? No, it’s confidence! She knows she is great at what she does, and she is motivated always to put the best version of herself out there.  

Keeping teams in line and working toward a single goal is a huge challenge; not everyone is cut out to build teamwork! It’s herding cats for a living.

Your success is directly related to your deeply rooted habits! What you do, consistently and naturally, translates into how well you will succeed.

No matter how thoughtfully you have chosen your New Year’s resolutions, you are, unfortunately, almost guaranteed to fail unless you also create a strategy, with specific action items, to make them happen.

The truth is, your success depends upon your accountability. You are the only one who can really do this! Here’s how to motivate yourself to your best level of achievement. After all, it is up to you! 

Do you find that your job no longer challenges you? Or maybe your work environment is just downright toxic? So much of your life is spent on your career, so that time should be satisfying! If you are miserable, what is the point?!

A letter to Santa is the first “wish list” many of us ever compile….and sometimes the ONLY one. But why do we stop?

Whether you’re the boss, part of a team or someone’s date – parties can be a great self-marketing tool! Networking the holiday party requires a little extra finesse though.
