I had so much fun chatting with Heather Vickery, author of ๐Ÿ“– ๐™*๐™˜๐™  ๐™๐™š๐™–๐™ง๐™ก๐™š๐™จ๐™จ: ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™ง๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™‡๐™š๐™–๐™ฅ ๐Ÿ“–

Having fear isnโ€™t the issue, says Heather. After all, fear is what protects us from real danger. But if we can break down our fears and question which ones serve us (or donโ€™t ๐Ÿ‘€), we can learn to push through and reach our goals.

Itโ€™s all about taking ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก risk.        

In this episode, Heather explains her BRAVE framework and how to use it as a trusty roadmap to reach our big, scary goals.           

BRAVE  stands for: 

๐—•oundaries

๐—ฅeassessment, reframing, resilience, 

๐—”ction and accountability 

๐—ฉulnerability 

โ€ฆwhich all lead toโ€ฆ๐Ÿฅโ€ฆ

๐—˜xpansion and empowerment (our results)!   

Rarely do amazing things happen to us due entirely to luck. Itโ€™s more about how we (bravely!) show up in the world so we can create the thing that we want.

My conversation with Heather reminded me of my favorite quote from Seneca:

๐™‡๐™ช๐™˜๐™  ๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ฌ๐™๐™š๐™ฃ ๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ข๐™š๐™š๐™ฉ๐™จ ๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ฎ.

So grab your cup of coffee or teaโ€ฆor your walking shoesโ€ฆand hear what Heather has to say about embracing fear and stepping out with bravery.

Think Like an Employer: Using Job Descriptions to Focus Your Resume
/

I just got great feedback from a client regarding my process; she thought a tactic we used was helpful to landing her new job. ๐ŸŽ‰

To be honest, the tactic is so simple that Iโ€™d taken it for granted.

Iโ€™m referring to the practice of using 1-3 job descriptions (a.k.a. job postings) to help you focus and tailor your resume to your target role.

The key to writing a compelling resume is to begin with the end in mind: In what role do you see yourself in 6 months? How can you help the employer envision YOU in that role?

Job postings help you future-proof your resumeโ€”and learn to think like an employer.

So, how can you use and analyze job descriptions?

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ Dig for themes

๐Ÿ† Gather your own examples of success

๐ŸŽฏ Align and get specific

๐ŸŒŸ Differentiate yourself

5 Strategic Pivots to Reach the C-Suite
/

So many of us used strategies that worked well early in our career:

1๏ธโƒฃ Preparing to perfection

2๏ธโƒฃ Eagerly pleasing

3๏ธโƒฃ Fitting the mold

4๏ธโƒฃ Putting pedal to the metal

5๏ธโƒฃ Performing patiently (Oh, how can they NOT notice my amazing work?!)

Do any of these sound familiar?

โš ๏ธ Hereโ€™s the problem:

Those same strategies can stifle our promotion to executive leadership roles.

Despite our best efforts to excel and stand out, a seat at the leadership table may seem elusive, leaving us feeling undervalued and stuck in our current position.

My guest, Ellen Connelly Taaffeโ€”author of ๐Ÿ“– โ The Mirrored Door: Break Through the Hidden Barrier that Locks Successful Women in Placeโ โ€”has good news: we CAN push through those self-imposed barriers to advancement by pivoting away from the early career strategies that no longer serve usโ€ฆand embracing new ones.

ABOUT ELLEN

Ellen knows her stuff. Sheโ€™s a Clinical Associate Professor at the Kellogg School of Management, where she teaches Personal Leadership Insights and is the Director of Womenโ€™s Leadership Program.

Before that, she spent 25 years with Fortune 500 companies holding the top brand management post at divisions of PepsiCo, Royal Caribbean, and Whirlpool Corporation.

5 Tips to Overcome Anxiety + Ace Your Interview

The first order of business in overcoming interview-related anxiety is ๐Ÿฅ:

๐Ÿ’ก Remember that youโ€™re also interviewing THEM! Yes, youโ€™re the candidate, but fit is as important for you as it is for them. You deserve the opportunity to gather your own intel to make a decision.

๐Ÿ’ก Write down 10 success stories to share.

๐Ÿ’ก Curate a list of possible (interviewer) questions.

๐Ÿ’ก Record your answers on Zoom or Yoodli.

๐Ÿ’ก If the interview will be remote, this is a great opportunity to check how you should clean up your background, and check your eye level to see if youโ€™re looking through the camera.

Strategic Writing for Leaders: Inspiring Others to Act, with Erin Lebacqz

Strategic Writing for Leaders: Inspiring Others to Act, with Erin Lebacqz
/

Letโ€™s face it:

Our readersโ€™ inboxes are already overflowing. Grabbing their attention and making things easy for them is a non-negotiable for the modern business writer.

So I was grateful to have Erin Lebacqz of High Value Writing as my guest on Career Cohort to share advice for wrangling our words and hooking our reader right from the subject line.

(By the way, if this is one too many emails today and youโ€™re not in the mood for reading, you can listen to our full conversation here. Iโ€™ve got you ๐Ÿ˜Š.)

The following is a sampling of Erinโ€™s advice:

โœจ The Magic of the 2-part Subject Line

Imagine this: Youโ€™re rushing to leave the office, scanning through your emails, and you come across a message with the subject โ€œFood Drive: Donate Soon.โ€

Without opening the email, you instantly know what itโ€™s about and the action required.

๐Ÿ’ก You know to pick up some cans of soup from the store on your way home.

Now letโ€™s apply this principle to another contextโ€”your job search.

If youโ€™re sending your resume to a recruiter, consider a subject line like โ€œOpening for Marketing Director: Resume Attached.โ€ Itโ€™s concise and immediately tells the recipient what to expect.

๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป The Power of Action Verbs

For resumes, I avoid the phrase โ€œresponsible forโ€ and any variation of the verb โ€œto be.โ€ Instead, I encourage clients to use action verbs to say more with less.

But Erin reminds us that action verbs arenโ€™t just for resumes.

In any correspondence, verbs serve as a powerful anchor for conveying information conciselyโ€”and even setting the right tone.

Consider: โ€œPlease join us for the session.โ€ vs. โ€œPlease attend the session.โ€ How do you feel when reading those 2 nearly identical invitations?

๐ŸŽฏ Knowing Our Audience and Tailoring Content Accordingly

Tailoring our message to our audience is key. The president wonโ€™t need the same level of detail as the tech team thatโ€™s working with us on a project.

Letโ€™s just rememberโ€ฆ

๐Ÿค Tailoring Content Doesnโ€™t Mean Sacrificing Respect

If thereโ€™s one place where consistency matters, itโ€™s how we communicate with others across our organizationโ€”no matter their title.

After chatting with Erin, Iโ€™m even more motivated to read every email (before I hit send) and ask myself, as the reader:

๐Ÿค” Do I feel motivated? Do I feel like my time is respected? Is there a balance between clarity (writing IQ) and empathy (writing EQ)? If not, Iโ€™ll need to work on my message. ๐Ÿค”

To listen to the full conversation, tune in to your favorite podcast app.

Or listen here on Apple Podcasts and get more great advice from Erin on:

  • Avoiding trigger words. Hint: Youโ€™ve heard the phrase, โ€œDonโ€™t should all over yourself.โ€ Well, Erin challenges us to avoid โ€œshouldingโ€ all over others, too!
  • Giving feedback. How about starting with, Have you triedโ€ฆ? Also works as a great replacement for Should!
  • Balancing brevity with warmth. Concise doesnโ€™t have to mean cold. As Erin says, we can be โ€œconcise AND nice!โ€

Using Video to Expand Your Side Hustle Career Opportunities, with Tanya Smith
/

If youโ€™re considering a side gigโ€”either as insurance in an unpredictable job market or as a creative outlet for your passion projectโ€”video can be an easy entry point to set yourself up as an authority on your topic.

Just remember: The journey toward entrepreneurship is not a one-time feat. Itโ€™s a continuous process of learning, growing, and honing your skills.

The idea is to embrace every opportunityโ€”yep, that includes โ€œmistakesโ€โ€” as stepping stones for our growth.

One of my favorite things about my guest, Tanya (sounds like โ€œCAN-yaโ€) Smith, is that she prefers live streaming vs. recordings for the simple reason that she can let little โ€œmistakesโ€ slide, making her the perfect coach to tell you itโ€™s ok to not get hung up on what really doesnโ€™t matter. And by the way, those little hiccups make you HUMAN, which makes you more likely to connect with your audience.

Tanya shares her own journey of how she evolved from a beginner in video marketing to an expert, with a continuous learning mindset. Her story is an inspiration for all of us who are testing new ways to show up in the world.

A FEW NUGGETS FROM TANYA

๐Ÿ’ก Donโ€™t try to serve everyone. Narrow your focus and find your niche market.

๐Ÿ’ก You donโ€™t need a lot of fancy or expensive gear. When starting out, make the most of your existing resources.

๐Ÿ’ก Strive for consistency to strengthen your craft.

๐Ÿ’ก If you have fun with video and see it less as another chore or duty, youโ€™ll find the time for it, to build it, and to let it grow.

ABOUT TANYA

Tanya Smith, an on-camera video strategist and coach, empowers women-owned service businesses to cultivate a captivating conversational brand through live-stream marketing. With over a decade of experience, Tanya has emerged as a distinguished leader and sought-after expert, sharing insights about content marketing for national organizations and events.
