VIDEO: Energy of the Week✨
👉 This week is about lifting our gaze and asking ourselves: 'What's truly possible here?'
It's a fantastic time to:
Challenge your assumptions
Communicate with clarity
Embrace your influence
Look for solutions
Be inspired, NOT defined by the past
If you’re part of the Career Clarity Community, I’ll see you on Friday for our live community call (deets are always in our chat👇)!
Otherwise, I'll see you next Sunday for another Sunday✨Spark of inspiration.
One Small Step👣✨
The ‘One Small Step👣✨’ segment is all about taking one small, achievable action this week to move you closer to your next career goal.
This one is all about you…
What is One Small Step you can take this week toward your next career goal?
What single action, no matter how small, could create significant momentum as you build on it in the weeks ahead?
Picture yourself crossing that finish line, having completed that 'One Small Step.' What can spark that energy and drive you forward?
👣 Share your ‘One Small Step’ in the comments below! Let’s celebrate your progress together as you move closer to your goals! 🎉👇
Career Action✨
In the ‘Career Action💪✨’ segment, we invite you to explore and plot out the next step in your career journey. We'll present ideas – some you may have considered, others that might be new – all designed to inspire you to take bold action and move your career forward!
This week, let's focus on your next career step: a promotion or a 'step up' into a new role (or the level of your next role, even if you're currently not employed).
Do you know what that 'next step' looks like?
If you're aiming for a specific role, do you have the job description to understand the requirements? If not, add an agenda item to discuss this with your manager in your next 1:1 meeting.
If you do have the job description, have you outlined the specific actions needed to achieve any required education, certifications, or training?
In my 20+ years in corporate TA/HR, I've often seen that employees overestimate what it takes to reach that next level. That 'mountain' might be smaller than you think!
Community Celebration✨
The ‘Community Celebration🥳✨’ segment is dedicated to our gorgeous Career Clarity Community! Here's where we highlight your wins, share valuable learnings from our chat conversations and weekly live calls, and celebrate the best of our #AskLavender submissions. I'm so honored to celebrate with you!
I am SO excited! We have a 🙋Community Member who leveraged The Interview Advantage book to prepare quickly for a same-day internal interview with a Hiring Manager!
The Hiring Manager reached out to them about an open position, thinking of them specifically and asking if they’d like to be considered (and it ended up being same-day because the Hiring Manager was about to head out of the office for a more extended stint).
The Internal Interviews section proved instantly helpful, and now, as they move into Team Interviews in 2 weeks, they can prepare even more effectively by reviewing potential questions and selecting strategic questions for each interviewer from the Team Interviews section!
Let's send all our love and light to our fellow 🙋Community Member!
🎈CONGRATS on this HUGE opportunity (which has the potential for a whopping 50% pay increase—and it’s their dream next position!).
Resource Roundup✨
In the ‘Resource Roundup✨’ segment, we invite you to explore the latest happenings, tools, and resource releases from Career Clarity. Find valuable articles, books, and online tools designed to empower your career development, job search, and professional growth.
💥The Interview Advantage book is now on sale on Amazon!
