In this solo episode of the L&D Career Club Podcast, I'm getting personal about the career change conundrum. We're all about upgrading our skills and pivoting our paths, but what about our mindset? Join me as I unpack my playful yet practical four-part process to reprogramming the way we think about career transitions in the L&D world.
What's in store for you? Let's break it down:
Recommit: Before we chase those shiny goals, let's set our intentions. I'll talk about how to align your inner compass with your career aspirations.
Reprioritize: We'll chat about how to juggle the art of habit-building with the joy of hobbies. Get ready to craft a life where your job doesn't overshadow your joy!
Rewire: Time to switch up the self-talk soundtrack! I'm sharing my favorite self-coaching techniques to help you dance away from those negative noodlings and towards a mindset that serves you.
Reconnect: Because at the end of the day, it's all about self-love, folks! I'll share my secrets on falling in love with your professional journey, all over again.
It's time to get intentional, sustainable, positive, and connected. Let's get our minds in gear for the great L&D leap forward! 🚀🧠💖

Do you have a specific idea about what "type" of boss you want next?
Are you finding yourself thinking about the last great boss you had and wanting your next boss to fill those shoes?
If so...I invite you to rethink what you know about the best boss for you on today's episode of The L&D Career Club Podcast!
Today we're talking about one of my favorite topics -- boss shopping! I'm covering:
The 4 "types" of bosses (and yes, I'm using boss not leader because this episode isn't about leadership styles)
Questions to ask in an interview with a hiring manager to identify if this person is the best boss for you
Why putting a previous a boss you had on a pedestal can cloud your judgement when shopping for your next boss
How to start rethinking what you've known about what makes for a good (or bad) boss
After listening to today's episode, I'd love to know if your idea of what your next boss should be like has changed at all!

Honestly...I'm sick and tired of reading posts on here that say "The only way to land a new job is to____."
Repeat after me...there is no one "RIGHT" way to land your next role, and if your strategy is nothing more than a Frankenstein approach of piecemeal advice from dozens of other people, today's L&D Career Club Podcast episode is for you!
Today I dive into:
4️⃣ The 4 areas to look at when assessing your own L&D career transition strategy
🤔 Why it's important to consider where you're getting your career transition advice from and how to make sure it will be applicable to you
⚡️ How much energy and emphasis you want to put into each area (spoiler alert: it depends on you as a human)
🤗 Tips to make sure you're bringing your whole self into the process of career transitioning
In this episode I share some personally exciting news (hint: 📚) and also talk more about my new podcast and Fractional CLO Agency, Good Learning, which will be launching so so so soon! 🎉

Get ready to set fire 🔥 to all your blank notebooks you plan to take with you to your next new job because I've got Jessica Rivera on The L&D Career Club Podcast today, and she's schooling us on how we can set OURSELVES up for success in our brand new roles. 💥
In today's episode (which is a longy, but a goodie) we tear apart outdated ways of looking at onboarding and step into a modern onboarding paradigm that *actually* helps us onboard faster and with more intention. We cover all the onboarding topics such as:
📚 How Jessica defines onboarding, and why everyone at your org needs to be on the same page with how you all define it
📚 Where most L&D teams go wrong when it comes to creating onboarding programs and who's ultimately responsible for onboarding success
📚 Why you don't need the world's largest budget to create impactful onboarding experiences
📚 How you can take ownership of your own onboarding experience to accelerate your own professional growth
...and so much more! Like I said, this is a MEATY episode, but one you'll want to take some serious notes for!
Jessica and I are also giving away ONE free copy of her New Job Notebook, so make sure to listen to today's episode for how to enter for a chance to win a copy!
