Utilize Your Strengths with Confidence and Find More Happiness

So many of us have developed our resilience strength over the past year, bouncing back from so many different challenges. Now with so much optimism on the horizon, it’s a great time of year to analyze your unique strengths and keep on track with your goals, especially as they relate to your career.

Truly understanding your strengths, especially those that add significant positive energy into your daily life, and then aligning those strengths to your career goals can help you define activities to bring you more happiness, personal and professional success, and less stress. Knowing how to articulate your strengths and your uniqueness can help you stand out on a job application and give you the words to interview more effectively.

Our soft skills series will support your preparation for your contribution to your employer. After many years in corporate America in various leadership positions, I embrace the perspective that success is 20% skill and 80% perseverance.

Staying in Touch with your College Hires is Crucial!

You’ve worked hard to find the right college hires this past Fall on campus and now you have 6 to 9 months before they begin as your employee. A lot can happen between now and onboarding.

Make them feel a part of your organization during their last semester in college. This continued proactive communication is even more important today. We share some ideas on how to “love” those senior new hires, so you don’t “lose” them.
