CAREER OWNERSHIP
The Power of Purposeful Networking
In our virtual LinkedIn world, It's time to rethink your approach to networking.
Are you focusing on building genuine connections, not just collecting LinkedIn contacts?
Do you make it a habit to seek out individuals who share your values and challenge your thinking?
When you connect, do you engage authentically and offer value in your interactions? I'm guilty of doing those fly-by likes too.
Real-Life Transformation:
Recently, Jenna, a mid-career professional, felt stuck in her career. Through some self-reflection and coaching, she turned her networking approach on its head with these three changes…
1. She prioritizes making meaningful connections by setting aside a specific time each day dedicated to this effort.
2. She had lost touch with the industry leaders who pushed her outside her comfort zone. She reignited her efforts within her industry association.
3. Jenna sought new opportunities aligned with her passions and values by signing up to mentor others in her company.
Today, Jenna thrives in her role, which provides financial stability and a profound sense of purpose.
The Magic Happens with Purposeful Networking
1. Identify Your Influencers: Reach out to those whose work and ideas resonate with you
2. Engage Authentically: Build genuine relationships by sharing insights and showing interest
3. Foster Accountability: Enlist a mentor, coach or peer to hold you accountable to your goals
4. Embrace Discomfort: Seek out networking opportunities that challenge your assumptions

BUSINESS OWNERSHIP:
'Following Your Passion' Falls Short
Picture this: You're a driven professional in your mid-40s, juggling a successful career, family, and personal aspirations. You've achieved so much already, but deep down, you feel there's still untapped potential waiting to be unleashed. Sound familiar? As a fellow high-achiever, I understand the yearning for a truly fulfilling career that aligns with your skills, values, and goals.
The conventional wisdom of "follow your passion" often leads to disappointment rather than genuine satisfaction. As an experienced career ownership coach, I've guided numerous goal-oriented individuals like you in discovering a more effective approach to career fulfillment. Let's explore how you can unlock your potential and create the meaningful, impactful career you deserve.
The Trifecta of Career Fulfillment
1. Capitalize on Your Strengths: Take Samantha, a brilliant IT executive who felt unfulfilled despite her impressive career. By focusing on her unique strategic thinking and team leadership strengths, she transitioned into a role that allowed her to shine. Like Samantha, recognize and refine your inherent talents to establish yourself as an invaluable asset in your field.
2. Navigate Market Demand: Jennifer, a talented software engineer, found herself in a niche with limited growth opportunities. By staying attuned to industry trends and upskilling in high-demand areas like AI and machine learning, she positioned herself for a rewarding career shift. Investigate market demands and align your skills to lay the groundwork for a sustainable and fulfilling career.
3. Embrace Energizing Opportunities: Passion alone cannot sustain a gratifying career. Look at Rachel, a successful attorney who felt drained by her work. By pursuing a role in legal advocacy that resonated with her values and energized her, she rediscovered her love for the law. Seek out opportunities that invigorate and inspire you, and you'll naturally thrive and find greater satisfaction.
