40:32Tammi Scott joins me to discusses career coaching. Tammi explains that she and her business partner, Elisa, are launching Empowered Careers Group, LLC, which offers a comprehensive career coaching program. We explore various aspects of career coaching, including its definition, approach, and benefits. Tammi emphasizes that career coaching is not about providing a “crystal ball’ solution,” but rather a process of self-discovery and strategic planning. This conversation also touches on the role of AI in career coaching, the importance of networking, and the typical duration of coaching engagements. Tammi highlights the value of having a coach for accountability, support, and guidance through the ups and downs of career transitions. We also discuss the differences between career coaching and other forms of guidance, such as personal training or consulting. Tammi shares insights on resume writing, negotiation strategies, and the benefits of having a career coach. Our conversation challenges the common misconception that career coaches should provide immediate answers or specific job recommendations. Instead, Tammi describes career coaching as a facilitated journey of self-discovery, where clients explore their ideal work environment, values, and professional aspirations. While coaches can provide specific guidance on resumes and salary negotiations, the core work involves helping clients understand themselves better to make informed career decisions. Key Points Career coaching is not about getting quick answers but facilitating self-discovery Most effective career coaching engagements last 3-6 months Career coaches don’t provide magic solutions or guaranteed career paths The process involves creating a clear picture of your ideal work day Resume writing receives more direct guidance than other coaching areas AI tools can complement but not replace career coaching Career coaching involves accountability and consistent support Coaches help surface limiting beliefs and handle rejection Career coaching combines internal reflection with practical action steps Career coaches help clients understand their values and preferences The best career management is ongoing, not reactive Contact Tammi Scott TammiScott.com LinkedIn Credits Hallon by Christian Bjoerklund Cold Funk by Kevin MacLeod All songs licensed under Creative Commons The post 131: Career Coaching Isn’t a Crystal Ball with Tammi Scott appeared first on John Poelstra .…

1:01:58Mark Rumbles reflects on his career of 40 years, what he’s learned in the leadership development space and what’s next for him. Mark recently retired after 40 years in HR and leadership development. Mark and I discuss his career journey, the concept of retirement, and insights gained from his extensive experience developing leaders. This conversation touches on various topics, including mentorship, career planning, motivation, and the challenges of leadership development. Mark shares his perspective on career transitions, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, relationship-building, and maintaining a flexible approach to one’s career path. He also discusses his current interests post-retirement, including exploring podcasting and working towards fostering more civil discourse in society. Throughout the conversation, Mark offers his insights on leadership, personal growth, and navigating career challenges. Key Takeaways Careers are more like arcs than rigid plans, requiring flexibility and adaptability Effective mentorship often develops organically through relationship-building Leadership development is about influencing factors that bring out internal motivation Follow the fear, energy, and incentives to understand and overcome challenges Retirement doesn’t mean stopping; it’s a transition to new opportunities and discoveries Relationship-building is crucial for career success and personal growth Curiosity is a key driver for personal and professional development The term “networking” can feel manipulative; focus on genuine relationship-building instead Leadership development is a fusion of various approaches and frameworks Behavior is a language that often speaks louder than words Self-reflection is crucial for aligning one’s words and actions Fear often stems from a desire to preserve one’s identity or self-image Motivation is complex and can’t be directly controlled by others Balance is essential in leadership, knowing when to debate and when to act Civil discourse and the ability to disagree respectfully are valuable skills Career transitions can involve multiple steps (e.g., full-time to part-time to retirement) Volunteering (e.g., joining a condo board) can be a way to stay engaged post-retirement The concept of “career” is often misunderstood and over-emphasized HR practices have shaped how people think about careers, sometimes unrealistically Podcasting can be an alternative to writing a book for sharing ideas and experiences Leadership development aims to bring out the best in people and help them bring out the best in others Understanding one’s “wiring” and sources of joy is crucial for career satisfaction Early career experiences, even if unenjoyable, can provide valuable foundations The balance between debating ideas and executing decisions is crucial in organizations Connect with Mark Rumbles LinkedIn Credits Hallon by Christian Bjoerklund Cold Funk by Kevin MacLeod All songs licensed under Creative Commons The post 129: Fusing 40 Years of HR, Leadership Development and Life Lessons with Mark Rumbles appeared first on John Poelstra .…
Doug Hunter and I discuss artificial intelligence (AI), including how it works, its impact on various aspects of life and work and how to get started with it. Doug provides an overview of AI, distinguishing between classical AI and the more recent generative AI. Doug also explains how AI works on probabilities and patterns, and discusses its current capabilities and limitations. Our conversation covers the potential applications of AI in fields such as marketing, customer service, education, and coaching. Doug emphasizes the importance of understanding and adapting to AI technologies, while also highlighting some of the risks and ethical concerns. He suggests practical ways for individuals and businesses to start using AI tools and advises on how to approach AI integration strategically. Key Takeaways AI is changing lives in ways many don’t realize; those who don’t adapt risk being left behind Generative AI has democratized access to AI capabilities for the general public AI operates on probabilities and patterns, not true understanding or knowledge There are potential risks with AI, including hallucinations and copyright infringement AI can significantly enhance productivity in various fields, including marketing and customer service The nature of many jobs, including coaching, may change due to AI integration AI tutors could revolutionize education by providing personalized, 24/7 learning assistance Humans should remain “in the loop” when using AI, treating it like a smart intern rather than an infallible authority AI’s impact on jobs will be significant, but historical technological advances suggest adaptation is possible Learning to write effective prompts for AI will be a crucial skill in the future AI can help make educational outcomes more equitable by providing resources to underserved areas The concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and its potential implications are still theoretical AI models are rapidly improving, with multimodal capabilities becoming more common There are ongoing discussions about potential rights for AI systems AI can be used as a tool to overcome barriers to effectiveness in various professions Using AI effectively could allow professionals to take on more clients or work more efficiently AI’s ability to find patterns in complex data sets can lead to insights humans might miss The ethical implications of AI, including privacy concerns, are significant and ongoing AI may not be able to replicate human creativity and intuition fully Job postings in the future may require fluency in AI tools AI can be used for creative tasks, such as generating bedtime stories or unique images Understanding the limitations of AI is as important as knowing its capabilities AI could potentially replace some front-line customer service jobs while making remaining roles more complex Experimentation with AI tools is crucial for understanding their potential and limitations AI’s impact may be more profound and widespread than previous technological revolutions AI Resources Mentioned Perplexity (AI search tool) ChatGPT Google Gemini Claude (Anthropic’s model) DALL-E (image generation) Midjourney (image generation) Sora (video generation) Whisper and Claude for content repurposing ( Christopher Penn ) More About Doug Hunter LinkedIn PeakPointSolutions.pro Credits Hallon by Christian Bjoerklund Cold Funk by Kevin MacLeod All songs licensed under Creative Commons The post 128: Demystifying AI with Doug Hunter appeared first on John Poelstra .…

33:53Nick Accordino shares the emotional rollercoaster of being laid-off, searching for a new job, and landing a new fulfilling role. Key Takeaways Take conscious breaks from the job search process to recharge when needed. Look for opportunities aligned with your authentic values and passions. Focus your search locally to increase human connections. Craft targeted, personalized applications rather than generic submissions. Seek out volunteer experiences to reengage with your community. Be open to unconventional or surprising paths. Know when to pivot strategies if your current approach isn’t working. Job searching takes an intense emotional and mental toll. Not getting feedback from potential employers is demoralizing. Expect ups and downs – the process is a rollercoaster. Set a sustainable daily routine, likely only a few focused hours. Generic job boards yield a lot of noise and unhelpful opportunities. Losing your job can feel quietly disorienting at first. Take time to recenter on your identity outside work. Know your limits and don’t overcommit energy to any one opportunity. Even short breaks from routine tasks can provide perspective. Tap your local professional network for insights on roles. Look for transferable skills you can highlight for new paths. Combine personal interests with professional strengths. Small companies offer chances to wear multiple hats. Hands-on volunteering provides an engaging change of pace. Share your story and be open to others’ for mutual support. Get out of the house regularly to avoid isolation. Finding joy and flow in simple, repetitive work. Embrace serendipity when exploring options.

1:00:31Stephen Warley joins me to explore why your job search and networking strategies aren’t working and what to do instead. Top Takeaways Stop relying solely on online job applications and start talking to real-live people! Create and maintain a list of your existing contacts and reach out to them with curiosity and honesty. Understand your desired lifestyle costs and calculate the income needed to sustain it–don’t chase an arbitrary salary number. Learn to articulate and demonstrate your value proposition to potential employers/clients. Be open to unconventional paths like consulting, freelancing, or non-traditional roles. Continuously invest in improving your skills and curating a portfolio of your work. Market and promote yourself proactively, don’t just wait for opportunities. Identify companies/organizations aligned with your values and interests. Explore volunteering or gifting services to showcase your abilities. Ask for additional connections/introductions in every conversation. Adopt an entrepreneurial, empowered approach to managing your career. Form a job search community for support, perspectives, and accountability. Don’t undervalue your worth, but remain realistic about market rates. Follow up consistently–a lack of response doesn’t mean you should stop pursuing. Get out of your head and take action–even in small steps. Challenge assumptions about what’s possible or conventional. Align your work with your personal values and find the right fit. Consider interim/temporary roles as potential paths to something more permanent. Embrace lifelong learning as industries and roles evolve. Focus on continuous self-improvement, not just securing any job.

42:15Greg Sterling joins me to share his experiences navigating a layoff and finding a job in the current market. Conversation Summary Losing a job is never easy, even when the economy seems strong. Greg Sterling was was part of a layoff at Red Hat after 13 years with the company. He spent the last 7 months searching for a new position. We talked in November 2023 to get his insights on the current job market and advice for others trying to find new work. Key Takeaways Job searching can be very discouraging with extremely low response rate Companies can receive an overwhelming 500-1000 applicants for a single role in minutes The current job market is very tight with companies being extremely selective Networking continuously is crucial, though even close contacts may not respond Self-care through exercise or other outlets helps manage the emotional toll Finding local opportunities rather than remote roles yields better results Asking for feedback after rejections can provide useful insights to improve Regularly tweaking your resume to polish message and fit is important Recruiters tend to only work with those they can easily place in a role Set limits on job search time to avoid burnout The post 123: Searching for a Job in Today’s Market with Greg Sterling appeared first on John Poelstra .…
