Strategies to tame the noise

Written By Keva Dine

Too Much Pressure! 

There is a lot of noise out there about not knowing—not knowing about jobs, lack of jobs, or business growth. For every article I read about any of these topics, an opposing article pops up in my feed. Add this noise to an active job search or your overworked team, and we have now arrived at what feels like overwhelm.

“…If we're not keeping pace with the ever-changing world, we risk being deemed irrelevant. How do you get comfortable with not knowing?”
Rimma Boshernitsan, Advisor & CEO, DIALOGUE

Ok, so now what - what’s the answer? The answer is to keep going - here’s how to avoid getting overwhelmed:

→ Get Organized. Use my trackers. (links below)

→ Improve: Update your Personal Branding. Book Coaching, Training, or Workshops.

→ Execute: Do the work! Apply changes and learnings.

→ Repeat!

Creative Leaders & Hiring Managers 

Get organized: In a market flooded with applicants, managing your leads list is mission-critical! Don't risk losing track of potential candidates referred by friends, colleagues, HR, or Recruiters. I created a Candidate Tracker for Hiring Managers so you can stay on top of your game.

Get Better: The time to get better and grow is NOW. Investigate and invest in Leadership training for yourself, your team, and your company. Check out some of my favorites - the ones making waves, the ones your competitors are leaning into:

“Being a great leader isn’t rocket science. But it does require effort. And even the best are always working on it.”

JOB SEEKERS & CAREER DREAMERS 

Get Sorted: Above all else, you must be organized! As promised, I created a handy Jobs Tracker to help you organize all your efforts in one place.

“The average job seeker applies to 27 companies before landing an interview. Keeping track of applications and deadlines through an organized system helps avoid missed opportunities and streamlines the search process.”

Get Better: It’s time to update your own Personal Branding. To do this for impact you need to treat your updates like a rebrand. “The Brief” is your brand direction and you are “The Brand”. (more on this next month)

Coaching: If crafting this story is too much to do on your own - work with a Coach, here’s two:
