we can do better than get frustrated

You’re working very hard…sending resumes, applications, updating LinkedIn, refreshing resumes... But it’s not enough. It’s never enough. The result? Stalemate. A string of "no thank-you-s" or worst, ghosting. Working hard is not yielding any results. Why? Because, for some of us, the system is rigged. Once you acknowledge this truth, you can stop working harder towards an unattainable result and you can engineer the system to work in your favor. How? This is the story of a recent client: She had sent out 400+ applications in 8 months because she had been told by recruiting agencies that it was a 'numbers' game. But all she got was crickets. And bot generated rejection scripts...she was beyond frustrated. She finally acknowledged that this hamster wheeling was fruitless. So, she pivoted her focus to engineering her opportunities. First, she zeroed in on top 20 companies she wanted to work for. Then she started reaching out building alliance pods - a network of executives in those top 20 companies who would talk to her about opportunities, culture, and which functional areas were hiring. Finally, she bypassed the ATS, the recruiters, the gatekeepers and got in front of decision makers - senior executives who had the power to create jobs. She articulated how she was the candidate to solve that company's current crises. With this new approach, she landed a job - in 2.5 months - as a Senior Program Manager at a Fortune 1000 company. My question to you: Do you want to get it done? I’m talking about whatever you’re doing. Whatever you want. Whatever you dream of. Do you want to get it done? If the answer is yes, then don't get frustrated. Don't feel inadequate. Those things will not get you to where you want to go. Here's what will: Action. Taken with intent. Engineering opportunities. Taking control. Ready? No one will give you more money unless you ask for it. Let me show you how to build your confidence and learn how to negotiate your salary with impact.

Hi Reader, Most executive candidates focus on preparing the perfect answers. But after decades of sitting on both sides of the interview table, I discovered something surprising: it’s not your answers that land the top offers—it’s your ability to spot the “golden nuggets” hiding in plain sight. What are golden nuggets? They’re the subtle cues, unspoken priorities, and hidden challenges that reveal what an organization really needs. When you learn to spot them, you can position yourself as the...
When you first think of achieving a goal - you are so gung-ho! You start strong. But then something happens... Slowly, your energy fades. You procrastinate. Things slip away. Have you wondered why it's so easy to do the things that are not great for you? Eating fries? Easy. Scrolling TikTok? No sweat. But goals that are good for us, like going to the gym or eating healthy - that's hard. It gets even harder when you need to stay motivated for career goals. The reason is that for bigger,...
