Let’s start with a simple but important idea on earning a promotion. You must earn the next level, title change, and/or increase in compensation. No one owes it to you, and you don’t go to the store to “get” it. That said, there are actions and mindsets that are more likely to move you to where you want to be and deserve. [Read more…]

Executive Presence — Everyone Wants It — How to Get It
Topics in executive coaching get hot, then cold, and sooner or later become popular again. In the past few months the subject of executive presence, a term coined quite some time ago, has surfaced again and is the number one area of interest for my clients. People frequently want it for themselves or those who report to them. The challenge is the term is used in so many ways and situations that one person’s definition ends up being quite different than another’s. When I ask a client, “what would executive presence look like if you had it,” they often say, “I can’t describe it, but I would know it if I saw it.” [Read more…]
Your LinkedIn Profile — The Career Option Generator
For quite some time I have been saying to my executive coaching clients, “If you’re not on LinkedIn, you’re not in the world of work.” This is especially true if you are looking to move to another company or organization, switch careers, vet a potential customer, or find the next great addition to your team.

Generation Z in the Workplace
Whether you pronounce Generation Z as Gen Zee or Gen Zed (the latter being the more common because it is an international pronunciation), it is impossible to deny the power and influence this group of young adults, born between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s, is having, and will continue to have, on the world of work.

Four Essential Workplace Soft Skills
LinkedIn surveyed 2,000 business leaders and looked at data points from its 500 million members. They asked employers, “Who and what are you looking to hire?” and asked the data, “What did employees possess to successfully land a job or earn a promotion?” In individual terms, “What is employability?” Fifty-seven percent of the time organization leaders, hiring managers, and human capital professionals said soft skills was the answer.

Are You Living to Your Potential?
“I should’ve, could’ve, would’ve,” the three cries people who never really became what they had the potential to become often say. It’s too bad because now, more than ever, needs and opportunities exist in a broad range of fields, locations, and levels — independently, locally, nationally, and globally. More than one CEO has [Read more…]
What Executive Women Should Share with Girls
Oh! I’m probably going to get pushback on this article (I’m ready for it). I am stating, flat out, this is not a scientific study. It’s observations I have made over the 20 years I have been coaching executive women.
What a Boss Wants — Five Simple Needs
A cry I often hear from my executive coaching clients is, “I don’t know what my boss wants!”
They are not trying to understand a specific task or project expectation, they’re looking for attention and to gain the respect of the person to whom they report. [Read more…]
Building a World-Class Workplace Team
Recently I’ve been challenging my executive coaching clients to think about and create a “world-class” workplace team. What I mean is pulling together a group of people that can compete in any venue, deliver extraordinary results, in an environment that is ethical, positive, and rewarding. It’s a tall order but not one that can’t be filled. Here’s what I see as some of the essential elements for creating a workplace team that is ready, willing, and able to excel now, by 2020, and beyond. [Read more…]
