Success is not just making money. Success is happiness. Success is fulfillment; it’s the ability to give.

241K Jobs added to the American economy in the third Quarter 2022. Assuredly of this number, hundreds of applicants went armed to interviews with knowledge of what they desired in a new job. In a heartbeat most will say high paying salaries, while others will say great benefits, great culture, remote work and more.
Are Jobseekers & Organizations Prepared for The Future?
Are organizations prepared for the workforce of the future? Research on Success Strategies of Leaders with Nova Southeastern University delved deeply into this question. To date, the most common top priority remains salary. Employers must become armed with the most in-depth information so they can be ready to attract, capture and retain top talent in the marketplace. Accordingly, it was great to collaborate with representatives of salary.com to meet with HR leaders in the industry through the Hospitality Association in Florida, HHRABC.org where I serve on the board as VP. Interest sparked post-pandemic, leaders are now ready to step in and hire the best.
As a certified coach my emphasis is on those candidates seeking a career change. Jobseekers, are you ready? Not sure? Let’s connect to see if coaching is right for you.

𝓢𝓮𝓵𝓯-𝓬𝓪𝓻𝓮 Walk away from people and situations that cause you pain.
From people who put you down. Walk away from things that poison your soul.
Think about your inner circle. Are they adding value? Find yourself always feeling sad and down caused by others? Look deeply. Maybe it’s time to walk away.
CNN headline news shared the news of Karly – a 27 year old who ordered a cake with her resume printed on it and sent it to the company of her dreams. Guess where? Nike!
This feat was done from her location in North Carolina to their headquarters in Oregon. Talk about innovation! All with the help of an equally ferocious delivery driver. Karly then shared the picture of the cake on LinkedIn …that’s the place for top jobs, right? Sure enough it sparked lots of interest. Some ‘meanies’ chimed in too. They thought it was a bad idea and voiced how they would never hire her.
The Creativity of the Creative
Personally I’m a lover of anything different. Of thinking outside the box. Same result but with a twist. It brings in the new; makes one stand out against the competition (whether or not there is competition) and shows initiative, The open-minded for sure will snatch up the innovative.
Step out today. Try something new, something different. Heck, you may even surprise yourself! And oh by the way, don’t limit this to jobs only. Travel, relationships, entrepreneurship ventures and more are all included.
What’s the most creative step have you taken? Do share. We would love to hear.

Spending time alone is one of my absolute pleasures. I’m sure I’m not alone. You may also like to do that as well. A few years ago I shared that I had some planning to do and decided on a whim to jump into my car and drive to the beach. A few hours later, I had mapped out plans for my top goals for the rest of the year! yea! I left feeling totally satisfied to get things done! What seemed like an drilling exercise turned out to be quite productive, in a serene atmosphere.
