Assessments aren’t a hit to your worth — they’re just part of the hiring process. Refusing one doesn’t signal seniority; it signals you don’t understand how the process works. Even execs complete them because skipping can take you out before you’re even in the room.

Most resumes sound the same. Buzzwords don’t stand out — results do.
Instead of “experienced in project management,” try:
✅ Managed 8 cross-team projects that finished early.

Fall is a season of change, renewal, and abundance — a time to harvest what you’ve built and reflect on what’s next. As the year winds down, pause, refocus, and prepare for new career opportunities ahead. 🍂 #CareerGrowth #Reflection #FallEnergy

Nearly 70% of companies now use AI (OwlLabs). Employers may support it, but without clear policies and training, they risk misuse and data leaks. AI success starts with responsible integration. #AI #FutureOfWork #Leadership

Companies need to hire with intention, not panic. We need steadier interest rates and clearer forecasts so roles stop getting frozen every other quarter. And teams have to rebuild the hiring pipelines they dismantled during the layoff waves. Until then, it stays stop and start.

Worked with a senior technical leader this week. Brilliant work, but buried in jargon. In 45 minutes we:
• Picked 3 themes
• Turned tech speak into outcomes
• Added numbers + scope
Before: “Owned systems.”
After: “Cut incident response 42% across 12 units.”
Clarity wins. Outcomes > acronyms.

AI didn’t break hiring. It just exposed how broken the strategy is.
If you’re applying to 100 jobs a week, that’s not effort—it’s spray and pray.
Hiring hasn’t gotten worse because of AI. It’s struggling because humans are still using it without a strategy or intention.

Back in 2017, a few weeks before Christmas, I hit rock bottom.
Laid off. $20 in my account. Someone donated money so I could buy my daughter a small gift. Even our tree was given to us.
That was the start of everything.
Worthiness isn’t earned—it’s remembered.

We often measure progress by speed instead of depth.
But real growth happens quietly, over time.
When you let go of the timeline, you finally create space to become ready for what you’ve been working toward.
