Every year, millions of professionals send out hundreds of applications, get almost nowhere, and decide the problem is their resume. It's not.
Referrals make up just 7% of applicants but account for 40% of hires, and the gap between those two numbers comes down to one thing: conversations.
In this episode, two professionals who had no plan, no clear direction, and no obvious path forward used test drive conversations to find meanin...
Scott Ingham spent 18 years in pharmaceutical sales before deciding to make a career change after 50. When he told people, the response was almost uniform: "You're crazy."
That pushback wasn't useful advice. It was projection of other people's fears dressed up as concern. It's also one of five beliefs that keep professionals over 50 stuck in roles they've already outgrown.
According to data, 85% of employers now hire based on skill...
Hayley Lowe had a textbook career pivot from her communications degree and agency life to a senior leadership role at a company like Expedia. Everything was going according to plan until burnout, infertility, a pandemic, and one very wrong Fortune 500 job forced her to rebuild from scratch.
What she found on the other side wasn't a posted role. It was one she designed herself.
Through coaching, she built an Ideal Career Profile...
If you've taken time away from your career and you're wondering how to come back without explaining the gap or apologizing for your time off, this episode is for you.

She res...

Breanne had a career that looked solid from the outside. Biotech R&D, then regulatory work submitting new technolog...

That's the Signature Strengths problem most high performers walk into a career change with. They're great at things they don't even count as strengths, ...
If you're earning between $200K and $500K and quietly wondering why every career change strategy you've tried hasn't worked, the answer probably isn't more effort. It's that almost none of the advice you've been given was built for executives at your level. The trap is different. The math is different. The way out is different. And almost every executive in this income range falls into the same hidden patterns without ever recogniz...
Most people plan for retirement because it's what you're supposed to do. But the real question almost no one asks first is whether the work they're doing right now is even built around their strengths in the first place.
