    The Leadership of Love - Communication and Emotional Intelligence

    Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! A chance encounter while walking along Manly Beach recently stopped me in my tracks – a man wearing a t-shirt that read: "My beautiful wife has dementia, please say 'HELLO' to her."  In this heartfelt episode, I share how this simple act of love reveals powerful lessons about compassionate leadership that no corporate training seminar could teach. What does it mean to truly see others beyond their job titles and functions?  I explore how authentic leadership often appears in unexpected places and offer practical insights into creating meaningful connections in both personal and professional settings.  Drawing wisdom from Brené Brown, Simon Sinek and others, I challenge you to consider the invisible struggles our colleagues may be facing. Join me as I reveal why "leadership is love in action" and offers a compelling challenge that could transform your approach to leadership, regardless of your title or position.  Learn how building bridges of human connection might be the most important leadership skill we can develop in today's workplace. For more inspiration visit www.janejacksoncoach.com Listen now and discover how a simple t-shirt message contains more wisdom about leadership than many executive training programs.  >>>  For career clarity and confidence, download Jane's career resources at janejacksoncoach.com  Support the show Find out what you MUST DO to make a successful career change and land the job you'll LOVE.

  7. How to Deal With a Toxic Workplace and Office Bullying

    How to Deal With a Toxic Workplace and Office Bullying

    Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know! Episode 267 helps you to deal with a toxic work environment.  Many of my clients say they are seeking a career change because of a Toxic Workplace.  Have you experienced one?  We know they exist, and sadly, many of us may be tolerating one right now, or have survived by escaping from one.  In fact, the topic has been discussed so frequently that I’ve released a video post on my LinkedIn profile covering toxic workplaces and office bullies. If you’re stuck with an office bully or “white ant” - that sneaky, termite-like colleague who gnaws away at your sanity while maintaining a false façade of support – in this episode I’ll provide a few tips on how to navigate the situation without losing your self-respect.  I was in a toxic environment in my career many years ago and, having only chosen to work in environments where I shared common values prior to that, this negative environment took me by surprise and I couldn’t believe how much it affected me.   I remember dreading Mondays and going in to work I would feel tearful before I arrived in anticipation of the stresses I would encounter.  By the end of the day I was exhausted and unhappy.  I simply couldn’t understand why, as a natural collaborator, I was in such a competitive, aggressive and non-supportive environment.    I hadn’t expected that the job spec would change so much when the incredible, warm and wonderfully supportive leader who hired me left the business (they must have seen the writing on the wall!), and a new leader took their place.   That new leader meant that everything changed. Culture, expectations, and a highly competitive, fearful and ‘blame’ environment developed. My husband asked me why I didn’t just quit but I told him, “I’m not a quitter!”  I was such a martyr!   However I soon realised that I couldn’t change anything but my own reactions, and for my own wellbeing and mental health I had to get out of that environment.  If you find yourself in a toxic environment, this episode covers some strategies to help you cope.  To make a successful Career Change, book a session with me at https://www.janejacksoncoach.com * * * * * * * *  >>>  For career clarity and confidence, download Jane's career resources at janejacksoncoach.com  Support the show Find out what you MUST DO to make a successful career change and land the job you'll LOVE.

Turner to unpack LinkedIn’s latest features for job seekers.  With over 220 updates introduced recently, Jane and Kevin share invaluable insights on how to leverage LinkedIn’s evolving tools to enhance job search success. Key LinkedIn Features discussed during our live broadcast include: 1. Optimising Your LinkedIn Profile for Recruiters Kevin emphasises the importance of searchable job titles, verified skills, and filling out job preferences to ensure your profile appears in recruiter searches.  Job seekers should focus on selecting skills and experience from LinkedIn’s dropdown menus, which function as "market value filters," making profiles more searchable and ensuring they’re accurately ranked. 2. Leveraging New LinkedIn AI and Premium Tools  LinkedIn has introduced new AI features for cover letter and resume customization, making it easier to tailor applications for specific roles.  Additionally, tools like LinkedIn Learning, the job preference dashboard, and profile verification badges help boost credibility and visibility, particularly when used with premium membership features. 3. Building Genuine Connections with Voice and Video Use LinkedIn’s voice pronunciation feature and in-message video/voice notes to make a memorable impression.  Creating engaging content and having authentic interactions help cultivate relationships with connections, setting the foundation for valuable networking and increased profile activity. Jane and Kevin conclude by inspiring job seekers to actively cultivate conversations and share thought leadership on LinkedIn, transforming passive profiles into powerful, dynamic career assets.
