I had the pleasure of connecting with longtime friend and past colleague, Ryan Reichert-Estes. Ryan has what he refers to as a portfolio career, spanning marketing in the wine industry to learning and development at Nike and most recently at Remote. He also runs his own coaching practice that helps individuals find their own sense of purpose so they can lead meaningful and fulfilling careers.

Today, I'm joined by Jessica Lackey. Jessica is a McKinsey Consulting, Nike and Electrolux veteran that has over 10 years of senior leadership experience, and is now a self-proclaimed ex-corporate warrior that has rejected the prevalent business environments that celebrate toxic productivity, hustle culture and the idea of self-worth being defined by one's ability to climb the corporate ladder and contribute to the bottom line.

Now, Jessica coaches and consults individuals and small businesses to help them succeed by imparting her business knowledge and people-centric wisdom to help unlock resonant and sustainable growth strategies.

Progress Over Perfection Coaching is a podcast focused on career management and development by offering insight on how to build an intentionally balanced and purpose-filled career.

It's that time of year, and whether you are managing new personal goals for yourself (and call them new years resolutions) or are setting new objectives at work through a development plan, it's likely that you're putting some thought into how you can improve yourself or change something in the coming year.

This is the conclusion of our 3 part series on the development-feedback and evaluation cycle, and I'll share some pointers I've picked up through my experience to build an effective development plan to help keep you on track to keep productive momentum and achieve your goals.

Have you ever heard the phrase: "feedback is a gift"?

Have you ever gotten some questionable feedback and wondered: "where's the gift receipt"?

In this episode, we talk about how you can ensure you don't re-gift poor feedback to others, how you can assess the quality of the feedback you’ve been given and go into some strategies you can implement to get the most out of the feedback you receive.

It's that time of year - as the holidays roll around and fiscal years typically come to a close, so too does the performance evaluation cycle. So, in this episode I cover a subject that may be very top of mind for a lot of you - year end evaluations and ratings - how to approach them, what they are and what they can mean for you.

Today, we are talking about year end evaluations and ratings. This post is kind of backwards - I meant to do a Development Plan post at the beginning of this year - we will get to that, but will start with the end of a cycle, first!

This will be part of a three part series around the development plan cycle - starting here, then an episode on giving, receiving and actioning feedback, and finally, wrapping up with an episode on building a development plan for the year ahead.

Progress Over Perfection Coaching is a podcast focused on career management and development by offering insight on how to build an intentionally balanced and purpose-filled career.

In this episode, we talk about how to build your career development team to make sure you are set up for your success in achieving your career goals. We talk about the different positions you should think about filling, what those positions can do for you, how to "draft" individuals into those positions, and ultimately, how to think about rotating individuals into or out of different positions over time.

Welcome to the Progress Over Perfection Coaching podcast, where we talk about career management and development by offering insight on how to build an intentionally balanced and purpose-filled career.

Today, we're talking about generative AI and how it can be applied on both an organizational as well as individual level. I'm joined by two special guests, Chuck Sigmund and Josh Penzell, cofounders of Theater Think, a company that offers consulting services focused on the intersection of acting theory and learning design.

Generative AI is a rapidly developing field with the potential to revolutionize many industries. It's already being used in a variety of ways, and carries a variety of connotations that are often used very generally.

But how can you utilize generative AI to boost your career? That's what we're going to talk about in this episode.

Today, we're talking about third party professional certifications - that's a mouthful, so from here on out, I'll just be calling them certifications. I'll start with what they are, how you can identify if they might be right for you, talk about a few well-known ones that I've had experience with as examples, go through the process and time and cost implications and how they can be put to use in your career journey. Throughout all of this, I'll also try to take a minute at each of these topics to talk about how you might be able to evaluate IF they could be something that could be useful for your career - there won't be a right answer, and that can change over time. But, like with the all things about your career, your changing perspective should not be seen as something negative - you will change, and so will what you want out of your career and how you want to go about achieving it. With that, lets talk certifications!
