Tips for Work and Life with Andrew LaCivita

I spent every single day between December 3rd, 2022 and May 30th, 2023 working on something that really matters me—writing a book that’ll help you achieve a level of career attainment and satisfaction that matches your abilities.

Of course, you didn’t know I was doing that. And, you won’t be able to hold my little beauty until August 6, 2024. (You can, however, pre-order it here!)

Even so, that doesn’t mean we can’t do some sneak previewing between now and then.

See, my two least favorite words in any language are “unrealized potential.”

It literally hurt me to type them.

The sad fact is most people (at least most I’ve ever met) spend their entire careers in jobs well below their talent level.

Might you be?

Why do you think this is?

My opinion is “professional growth” is a maze. Honestly.

Have you ever felt lost, unsure of which skills to prioritize, or how to chart your career path effectively?

These are common challenges many people face, resulting in unrealized potential (ouch, again) and missed opportunities.

In our professional, that is, post-academic world, traditional guidance is scarce and we’re left to figure it out on our own.

It’s helpful to have an experienced professor-like mentor who comes equipped with a structured syllabus of the most-impactful professional skills and sequenced lessons to help you navigate the intricacies of career development.

One that can help you craft and implement your personalized, effective, strategic career growth plan. (This would be moi if that wasn’t obvi.)

Pause for a second. Humor me. Can you imagine a future where your career aligns perfectly with your abilities? One where you consistently achieve success and satisfaction?

Like virtually everything in our world today, it’s only a click away...

Do you wish your LinkedIn inbox was flooded with messages from recruiters fawning all over you?

Would you settle for a few each week?

Seeing nothing?

Well, you need to know what drives them to you.

I might not know how to get the YouTube algorithm to send people my way, but I do know how recruiters filter their LinkedIn searches.

I know that because we had corporate and executive recruiters show us their dashboards and walk us through their processes as we built our latest rendition of the milewalk Academy® LinkedIn Workshop.

I also know what job seekers can do to get those filters to choose them and that’s what I’m sharing today.

Got a special, powerful message for you today.

I discussed this concept back in August (on the 8th), but held it so we can wrap 2024 with a bang and get you pumped for all you WILL accomplish in 2025.

It’s a lesson on the 3 factors of high performers.

This isn't your run-of-the-mill pep talk—it's a masterclass on harnessing your mindset to fuel success and resilience.

Inside, I hit...

Attitude as a Catalyst: Attitude shapes not just your experiences but also inspires those around you. It's about manufacturing optimism from within and letting that optimism ignite inspiration in others.

The Power of Passion, Vision, and Commitment: These three pillars are what all (truly) successful individuals share. It's about discovering your passion, nurturing it, and committing to your vision relentlessly. (BTW, these are not the 3 factors of high performers I mention in the title.)

Framing and Priming: Understand the art of framing your thoughts and priming your emotions to align with your goals. It's about the internal dialogue you feed yourself—ditch the “fake it ‘til you make it” mindset and embrace authenticity.

Crafting Your Success Story: I share personal stories, including my journey from engineering student to executive recruitment, and how I built a successful career coaching business. The story is a testament to the power of strategic vision and unwavering commitment.

The lesson is about empowering you to conquer challenges and achieve your impossible (just like I say in Out of Reach but in Sight!).

Here’s to making 2025 your best year yet!

That’s one of the four, but the least important of them all.

In today’s podcast, you’ll learn what these assets are and how to develop and maintain the two most critical ones so you can—at any time—prove your true value to any employer!

Ever have a tough time you thought would never go away?

Maybe you were at mile 20 of the marathon.

Maybe you were in the middle of a one-year-long job search.

Maybe that stinker-of-a boss has been dangling that carrot-of-a promotion forever.

No matter the issue, we need something to pull us through.

This being Valentine’s Week (let’s celebrate all week, shall we?), I want to talk about the most important relationship you’ll ever have—the one you have with yourself.

More specifically, I want you to know yourself so well that you’ll be SURE you can get through anything.

That’s why I’ve created this heart-to-heart I’d like to have with you.

It’s not long.

In fact, it’s about coming up with something short...and powerful.
