Welcome to the HIGHER! Career Podcast everyone. A show full of wicked stories from the job market and brilliant guest experts showing us how to succeed in it. Because we've all been there haven't we? It's time to get unstuck and make our dream careers happen. Let's go get it! -- With Nikki Symmons and Tom Zamzow
This show is all about exploring ways to navigate one's career with ease and how the seemingly secret language of the job market is not one we have to each learn by ourselves through painstaking experience. Whether you are concerned about recruitment and finding a job, interview like a champion or get that promotion in your current job, we are sure that we have an episode or two on our collection that can help you out.
Every episode is driven by industry experts and business leaders from a wide range of fields. Entrepreneurship, corporate and the private sector, marketing and creative agencies, the World Wide Fund For Nature, media, you name it.
Not only do you get to know these industries better in case you want to start your career in them, or do a career transition/change towards them. You also get to learn from these experts how they have navigated their own careers and became successful. Our show is less about philosophy than it is about real-world, practical ways in which you can have that dream career for yourself. There are no one-size fits all solutions, we don't believe in the kind of platitudes you will find on social media. What we try to do is to start your own unique engine, find your power and values and enable them to bring them to work with you and forge the dream career for yourself.
This means overcoming the 'my manager hates me' trap. It means being brave, vocal and present, even if you don't feel like or your energy profile is rather introverted than extroverted. This means standing up to your boss and learning how to say no in your job. This means leading teams with integrity and realising that you will only ever be as good as the people you manage and develop. This means gaining the presentation skills you need to truly broadcast your message. This means learning when to leave a job, and how to leave a job without jumping from the frying pan into the fire. And then: how to either get a new job or start your own business. This means mastering social media and setting up your LinkedIn profile in a way that serves your entire career.
Nikki Symmons and Tom Zamzow created this show with two goals in mind. On the surface level, they have come to realise that all of us go through the same tough school of language learning. The language they speak of is the language of the job market and career development. It's a tough school, and it takes years to figure out how to be fluent in it. They endeavour to shorten this time period for you out there, make it easier for you to have a job, career or calling that you like and love. Which leads us to the second goal:
Nikki and Tom want you to step up as leaders, and they want you to do it sooner than later. You see, they believe in careers as part of life, not just a 9-5 that you have to do. They believe in careers that can have a positive impact on the world. They believe in everyone finding their values, what they believe in, feel passionate about, and are willing to fight for. More than ever before, ordinary folk like us have the power to make real change happen. And not just in our personal lives. Nikki and Tom believe that by showing up at work as a vocal advocate for one's values bears the potential to change companies from within. And in turn have companies invest their substantial resources to become better corporate citizens and make the world a better place. On the show, Nikki and Tom frequently talk about diversity, equity and inclusion, bring as many diverse guests as possible, and show their audience how careers in environmental sustainability can be incredibly exciting.
Why listen to Nikki and Tom? Because they have changed their own careers

Ep 48 - "How to Become a Rockstar with Neuroplasticity" with Veronique Bogliolo
Neuroplasticity maketh the rockstar.
With today's guest, my friend and overall fabulous person Veronique Bogliolo of Bogliolo Coaching & Consulting, we talk about all the things.
See, Veronique is a coach. A leadership coach. A teams coach. A coach that believes in science-based approaches and makes things happen for her clients.
And delightfully, Veronique does not believe that coaching is something for the elite few. Her view, whether we talk about a professional coach you pay for or a cluster of trusted advisors, is that we all are only as good as the team that supports us. Have you assessed this for your own life recently? Who is on your team? Go ahead and do it, and recruit where needed. Because none of us are free of struggle, and all of us achieve more together.
This episode focuses on this philosophy, but beyond that talks about a unifying feeling so many of us share across political, geographical and other divides: we are tired. We are exhausted. And there seems to be no end in sight.
That is why I have asked Veronique to share the ingredients to her secret recipe that maketh the rockstar: her 7 steps to increased neuroplasticity. Leading to more energy. More satisfaction. More clarity. More peace.
Let's go get it!

Ep 47 - "How to Research that New Dream Job - Part 2" with Steven Rothberg
The saga continues!
In our last episode, we had the stunning Steven Rothberg, Chief Visionary Officer at College Recruiter on the show with us. Now, Steven and Tom got to chatting and (un)fortunately chatted to such an extent that a two part special was necessary.
Part 1 focused on the work that comes before the actual deed of setting your search filters to "dream job". Part 1 is about you, your values, skills, interests and desired compensation.
Today, we will get into the nitty gritty of what it means to crusade across the width and depth of the all-powerful internet without getting lost. When faced with a situation in which a new job is required, the daunting task of starting to look for one can be so very energy consuming that we don't engage with it to the degree necessary. Steven is here to show us how to coax those dream jobs out from the infinite number of possible job search platforms and program them in a way that at least the search part of our job hunt runs on autopilot.
This is Part 2 of our conversation with Steven, and must at this point again express our gratitude for having had him on the show with us. A few listeners actually reached out, expressing thanks and so it is only fair to pass those on to the true master of this topic: thanks Steven!

Ep 46 - "How to Research that New Dream Job - Part 1" with Steven Rothberg
Research? That sounds dull...
We say: not so fast gentlewomen and gentlemen (and everybody in between), not so fast.
Needing a new job is a daunting prospect. Whether you find yourself made redundant at your current employer, are an independent that needs a break from the entrepreneurial hustle, or simply can no longer stand your current one and it is time.to.go.
With few and lucky exceptions, almost all of us have found ourselves at this junction in life. And for those of you who have been there, you will remember that the situations necessitating a new job tend to be a drain on our energy. And job search is an exceptionally energy-demanding task. Needless to say: it can be a terrible chore.
Which is why today on the HIGHER! Career Podcast, we invited the ever so delightful Steven Rothberg, Chief Visionary Officer at College Recruiter. While Steven's business focuses on helping college students take their first steps in the professional world, his insights transcend the realm of entry-level positions. You see, Steven is a virtuoso in the world of job boards, think Monster, LinkedIn, Google, the list goes on.
Have you ever found yourself staring blankly at the screen of the LinkedIn "Jobs" section, your mouse hovering over the "Search" field with your mind going blank, asking yourself "How do I even get started?".
Steven is here to break it down for us and teach us how to wield the power of job boards to curate an automated drip feed of potential jobs that:
Match your skillsMatch your interestsHave a high potential of success should you decide to apply
This is Part 1 of our conversation with Steven, which focuses our attention on practical ways in which we can identify the building blocks we need to program this high-potential drip feed of jobs across job boards: your interests, your skills and experience, your values and your compensation.

Ep 45 - "How to Communicate with Confidence - Part 2" with Jayne Constantinis
A negotiation starts with how you walk into a room (even a virtual one) and it ends with how you exit it.
A negotiation, say about salary, pay grade, perks and compensation, is not a moment of healthy and functioning society. It is complex, personal and not, as the person at the opposite side of the table represents the interests of an inanimate thing, an organisation.
It is a thing of strategy, and it is a thing of skill. Most critically, it is a thing of perception, critically perception of confidence and the lack thereof. And projecting confidence friends, is something that can be learnt from the master of communication that indeed do walk among us.
One such master is Jayne Constantinis. TedX Speaker, presenter, facilitator, communication and presentation trainer, voice over artist of the HIGHEST calibre. And overall glorious human being, just fyi.
In this 2nd episode (click here for Part 1), Jayne escorts us into the world of what happens when people interact. Specifically, we will cover:
How to master the sound of silence.How to enter and exit in style and why it matters.Jayne’s secret tips and tricks that simply cannot be described but must be listened to.If you want to learn more about and with Jayne, or are looking for someone just like her to reach your, your team’s or your company’s communications goals, be sure to get in touch with her and check out her website: https://www.jayneconstantinis.com
Jayne did mention a book at the beginning of this episode:
”Quiet - The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking”
by Susan Cain.

Ep 44 - "How to Communicate with Confidence - Part 1" with Jayne Constantinis
Learn how to negotiate and do it now. For we find ourselves in negotiations more often than we think.
There is only one tiny problem: to negotiate, we must communicate. And we must do so confidently.
Have you ever asked anyone for anything and then said “if that’s alright with you”? Exactly. We are trained from a young age, to the betterment of society truly, not to force our will upon others. So we do indeed ask, instead of tell. The hallmarks of a healthy and functioning society.
A negotiation, say about salary, pay grade, perks and compensation, is not a moment of healthy and functioning society. It is complex, personal and not, as the person at the opposite side of the table represents the interests of an inanimate thing, an organisation.

In this 2-part episode (Part 2 will be released on September 20th, 2022), Jayne escorts us into the world of what happens when people interact. Specifically, we will cover:
Can you communicate confidently even if you are shy or leaning towards a more introverted energy profile? With your authenticity intact?Jayne’s 4 Pillars to communicating with confidence in a negotiationVerbal and non-verbal communicationHow “Online” has changed everythingCritically: all this juiciness is wrapped in a thick and glossy layer of sh*ts and giggles, because Jayne is hysterically funny.
