    EP 172. Everyone Says They Hate Sales… Then Wonder Why They're Broke

    Career Power Series | Episode 2So many people say they hate sales.But honestly if you can’t sell… your career will struggle.Because your career is sales (even when you don't work in Sales)- You’re selling your skills in interviews.- Selling your value in promotion conversations.- Selling your ideas in meetings- Selling your potential to decision makers.And the people who earn more?They know how to sell and market themselves.In this episode I break down why sales and marketing aren’t “corporate buzzwords” they’re essential career skills.We’ll talk about:Why rejecting sales holds so many people backThe difference between selling yourself and braggingHow to market your value on your CV and in interviewsWhy the people who understand this get promoted faster and negotiate better salaries and bonus benefitsBecause the more clearly you can communicate your value…the more power you have in your career.“Create Your Own Lane” my 1:1 coaching program is open!

    EP 171. Everything Is Negotiable — If You're the Strongest Candidate

    People think the most qualified person gets the job.They don’t.They don’t even have the most negotiation power!The person with the strongest interview has the most leverage to negotiate salary, benefits, and future opportunities.And that’s a big difference.In this episode, I break down why qualifications and experience alone don’t give you the leverage you need to negotiate.Because negotiation power doesn’t start when the offer comes in. It starts long before that.I talk about:Why the “best on paper” candidate often losesWhat actually makes someone the strongest candidate in the roomHow positioning yourself differently changes your negotiation powerWhy some people can push back on salary… and others can’tIf you’ve ever wondered why someone less experienced got the job or how people negotiate higher salaries so confidently this episode will change how you think about interviews.---I help my clients become the strongest candidate in the room.Create Your Own Lane my 1:1 coaching program is open.Click the link below to book your free call so we can get started. ⁠ click here⁠Enjoyed the episode?

    EP 142. Be the Exception not the Rule!

    We get told so often when someone does something that most people haven't been able to that its because they're the exception and most of us can't achieve it.My career and helping others achieve their gaols has shown me there are wayyyy more exceptions than we think, so this week I'm talking about The mindset shift you need to make if you want to build an exceptional career What it takes to land exceptional opportunities and salaries If every rule has an exception why can't it be you?

    First of all as a recruiter I can tell you 90% of the time no one reads your cover letter (just one of the reasons I hate them) But there are situations where they can be helpful and where you can't submit your application without one.
