  • 17: The Market (not Companies) Will Determine Work-From-Home

    This episode is all about the major shift in working that will continue after the pandemic leaves us. Many employees have now realized that working from home, or having a flexible work arrangement, is as important to them as salary, vacation days, and other benefits.

    Companies may be able to dictate and mandate office work in the short-term, but in the medium to longer-term, the job market will be the one to decide as companies will need to offer attractive incentives if they want top talent.

  • 16: Evaluate Your Career Every 6 Months

    This episode breaks down WHY and HOW you need to be proactive with your career, even if you're happily employed. Complacency is not a place you want to find yourself and changing your role either internally or externally can take time. Staying on top of your situation is vital to remain motivated, happy, and fulfilled at work.
