He notes that Carnegie's principles of avoiding criticism and condemnation, offering sincere appreciation, and trying to see things from the other person's point of view are more important than ever.

This approach can help address the current talent shortage and ensure that new hires are aligned with the organization's culture and values.

His goal is to create an environment where people look forward to Monday, which he believes leads to engaged, eager, and productive employees.
David also talks about the importance of vision and relationships in achieving a fulfilling career and personal life. He encourages individuals to sit down and create a vision that includes not only what they want to accomplish but also who they want to be. He emphasizes the value of building meaningful relationships and believes that relationships are what make people happy and fulfilled in the long run. He also highlights the importance of leadership, trust, and engagement in creating a positive work environment.

What problem are you going to solve? In a competitive marketplace, you have to be able to articulate what that problem is in a manner that catches people’s attention. A very effective way to do that is through video, but even that has its challenges.
The average watch rate for any video is 31 seconds. This means that in 31 seconds, you must share something powerful or captivating enough that encourages people to continue watching. You should investigate what people are searching for in order to create content they want to see in the first place.

In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Akili Atkinson, a neurodiversity trainer helping individuals and businesses understand workplace communication strategies. Akili discusses how to overcome the problem of finding employees in today’s economy, emphasizing the importance of communication in interviews. She also shares advice on alternative methods for hiring.
Neurodivergent people have unique ways of approaching situations, creating solutions that wouldn’t otherwise be found by traditional methods. Organizations should consider this in the hiring process, Akili believes, as these individuals bring new skills to the talent pool that haven’t been tapped into yet.
When hiring people, interviewers should ask candidates what they can contribute to the company. Oftentimes the best employees aren’t necessarily the most qualified, but the ones who have the dedication and desire to do the job. They bring their passion with them, and employers can easily put them in alignment with what needs to be done.

The Power of Women in Leadership with Rachel Bellow
Career Can Do
03/31/23 • 27 min
In this episode of Career Can Do, host Mary Ann Faremouth interviews Rachel Bellow, the co-founder of Bonfire, a leadership development program for women. Rachel discusses her journey in creating the program and the importance of providing women with the tools and skills necessary to become effective leaders. She also shares her insights on how leadership has evolved over time, emphasizing the need for emotional intelligence and influence rather than just inspiration.
It’s often difficult to persuade companies and leaders to adopt a fresh approach to leadership, Rachel tells Mary Ann. Many people in management positions are set in their ways and are resistant to change. This mindset can have negative consequences on the company's bottom line, as high turnover and low employee morale can hurt productivity and performance. Branding and marketing are the keys to convince these leaders to adopt a new approach to leadership, Rachel believes. Developing a distinctive brand that catches their attention is often all it takes to help them acknowledge the necessity for change.
Bonfire’s unique branding and community-focused program has helped catch the attention of HR leaders, many of whom are women themselves. They understand the importance of creating an inclusive workplace culture that values diversity and fosters community. Rachel believes that women are natural architects of change and can influence the workplace to work for everyone.
The results of her program show that women who participate are energized and empowered to create positive change in their workplaces, contributing their unique skills and perspectives to make their companies more profitable, fun, and fulfilling places to work.
Rachel shares valuable advice for individuals who may be at a crossroads in their career paths. She stresses the significance of following your own curiosity when it comes to your career development. Rather than trying to map out your career trajectory in your head, she suggests that you ask yourself what you want to learn more about, who you want to learn from, and what kind of physical environment you want to learn in. These three questions, according to Rachel, are the most reliable compass you have when trying to determine your career path. By following your curiosity and being mindful of your interests, you can find a career that is not only fulfilling but also aligns with your passions and aspirations.
