  • Episode 6: Building Your (2.0) Career Plan

    Quick Survey:  What comes to mind when you see the phrase "Career Plan"?  Templates? New Titles? Mentors? Panic?  Not even sure where to start? 

    We hear you.

    The typical "Career Plan" is vanilla, often based on moving-up (getting promoted).  Creating a meaningful, rich, interesting, and fun (gasp!) Career Plan just isn't part of the typical employee experience.

    Until now.

    Our founder Tom Perry walks through some specific recommendations to take your Career Plan to the next level. Whether you're well into your career or just starting out, you'll find some interesting nuggets to take your strategy to the next level.

  • Episode 5: Re-Thinking Your Career Plan
    Ahhhh - the infamous "Career Plan." 
    You're probably picturing corporate templates with employees wracking their brains trying to figure-out not only what's next, but where to start. 
    The standard approach: Use the Career Plan to get to the next level or next title or next salary increase. Professionals are completing these important plans without a strategy in place.
    Rarely do employees think about their role in the creation of these documents (surprisingly), where they are in their experience, and the realities of the organization.  In addition, employees aren't sure how to actually use this document to ensure success. 
    Bottom line: It's time to take a breath, pause, and spend some time thinking before diving in.  That's where this episode comes in to help - Tom shares his words-of-wisdom about the process and gives examples how you can re-think this process to maximize results.

  • Episode 2: The Case for a New Employee Experience

    The employee experience is broken.  This gap is contributing to the massive engagement problem we're seeing across organizations.

    Professionals aren't leading with connection. Professionals aren't leading with clarity. Professionals aren't leading with confidence.  Bottom line: Professionals aren't at the center of the employee experience. 

    In this second episode of the new Engaged Pursuit podcast, our founder Tom Perry tells his own story of not putting himself at the center of this own experience and what happened. It's a vulnerable story and one that you might relate to looking back on your own path.
