    How to Land Your Next Role — Be Yourself!

    Today I’m bringing you the inside scoop on landing your next job.  My guest is Elisabetta Bartoloni and she's going to draw on her years of experience in executive recruiting to tell us the secrets of writing a fantastic resume, nailing your job interview and talking about your personal story!  Elisabetta is a partner at Heidrick & Struggles and co-chairs their Americas Women's Inclusion Network. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion starts with hiring but more than that it's badly needed in executive hiring. Even companies that nail their DEI efforts start to see diversity dissipate at the higher rungs of the corporate ladder.  I know this conversation will leave you wanting more of herWisdom. You can find it on her newsletter Career Insights for Executives.

    Babies, Bosses, and Balance: Mastering the Return to Work

    According to Lori Mihalich-Levin, there are not enough resources out there about how to return to work after parental leave. Managers often have great intentions to support new parents but they don’t know where to start and most of the new parents are just as clueless.  That’s why Lori has developed the exact resources she wanted when she returned to work after welcoming her kids. In this episode she walks us through what managers need to be thinking about, what colleagues can do to support each other and how new parents can plan their own re-entry.  Everyone’s journey back to work is going to be different, but the more support we have, the better it’s going to go! Question: What resources or support are offered to parents returning from leave? This population is often most at risk for dramatic impacts on their career upon having children. How [should a business] prepare managers, the [company], and the employee taking leave to be away from the workplace for an extended period of time and subsequently reintegrate?

    Leadership Starts Before You Lead

    We all need advice on career advancement. We’ve heard from so many listeners who want to know how to find a mentor, how to start building leadership skills, how to prove they’re ready for a promotion and so much more.  Cate Luzio is ready to share all the secrets to her success. After a career in financial services, Cate opened a career advancement space called Luminary. With both physical and virtual spaces and events, the professional education and networking platform is meant to propel women and allies forward in their professional journeys.  Anyone can follow the advice in this episode, but Cate also gives us some guidance specifically for women. Cate left me with a comment that stuck with me: often men advance on potential while women advance on performance. I hope this episode helps all of our listeners who are ready to grow in their careers!

    Vibe Check: Are Your Presentations Energized?

    Presentations HAVE to be inclusive. That’s how you keep the attention of your audience.   Over 200,000 students have taken Ivan Wanis Ruiz’s Coursera course, Communication Strategies for a Virtual Age. In this episode, we have the opportunity to join them for just a taste of what Professor Ivan has to offer. He’ll take us through how to present and promote ourselves no matter the situation. We talk about presenting to a group of three or a group of thousands. We talk about engaging virtually and in person and across generations. And finally, we talk about how to communicate better and really find out more about our peers and ourselves no matter how introverted you are! We threw a few questions at Ivan today: Question 1: “I am the only remote employee and my bosses are always worried I'm not working despite me logging all my hours with details of exactly what I'm working on. What can I do to better communicate with them?” Question 2: “I KNOW I do fantastic work but I’m not so great at presenting it (and myself) to higher ups and clients. Do I have to get better at this to advance in my career and what skills would I need to improve?” Produced by Coursera and Hueman Group Media.

    Talk About Mental Health Right Now

    What brings you joy? That’s where we start today’s conversation about mental health. Tramaine El-Amin is joining us from the National Council for Mental Well-Being. She's vice president for a program called Mental Health First Aid. The course teaches you where to start with conversations about mental health as well as where to go and where not to go. This conversation includes a mnemonic for how to be there for our co-workers, discussion of how gen z is getting mental health attitudes right, and a call to be more transparent about what you’re doing to take care of yourself.  It’s not always easy to bring up this topic at work so today's question comes from me: “How should we be talking about mental health? From entry level employee to executive, what training do we need and what conversations should we be having?” Produced by Coursera and Hueman Group Media.

    What Does my Future Workplace Look Like?

    We all wish we had a crystal ball that can tell the future. Today’s guest doesn’t have a crystal ball, but she does have loads of data and trends about the future of work.  Dr. Kelly Monahan is a Managing Director at Upwork's Research Institute. Today, she'll tell us what those trends show and how to evaluate them for ourselves.
