24.01.2022 An inspiring talk from an accomplished woman on why you should NEVER, EVER GIVE UP! https://www.ted.com/talks/diana_nyad_never_ever_give_up

23.01.2022 Great way to start the week is to take time to listen to Shawn Achor's chat with Oprah about his latest book 'The happiness advantage' :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4IgMIRyg1I I've written about many of these concepts in the past http://careermojo.com.au/2011//22/the-pursuit-of-happiness/, so whilst it may not be new information, he packages it up in an easy to understand way. If your'e not familiar with Shawn Achor, who has studied happiness for 10 years, his Ted talk ...is gold (one of my favs): https://www.ted.com//shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_bette Feel free to share your thoughts :-)

22.01.2022 With all the 'noise' online; the motivational quotes, videos from self help gurus in between seeing peoples holiday snaps, I thought I'd post something useful. Below is a buddhist mantra I use as a mindfulness tool with clients before we start a session. It's a great way to really forget about everything else & be in the present moment. Try it before you step into an important meeting, or just need some "me" time.

22.01.2022 "A belief is only a thought I keep thinking"... say it 3 times... what beliefs are holding you back? What can you change to take the power back & create what you truly want?

21.01.2022 For all the Aussie Mojoers, welcome to our first full working week after all the public holidays.. it's going to be tough, but you've got this!! https://goo.gl/images/N5hkYD

21.01.2022 Yesterday I woke up feeling low in energy & tired. Mainly because my son has been up at night teething! I just wanted to share two things that quickly brightened up my day. 1. I had a meaningful conversation with the lady sitting next to me on the train. We were the only two ppl not staring down at our phones. It started as small talk but changed to a deeper tone. It was so nice to share a genuine connection like that with someone I may never see again- a rare occurrence now...adays! 2. One of my clients gave me this bottle of champagne in gratitude of accepting his exciting new role. He was so thankful for the prep we had done leading up to the interview which enabled him to nail his dream role! If youre feeling a bit flat, have a think about the small things youre grateful for, it really does work!

21.01.2022 Looks like Career Mojo made it to the Daily Mail- I'll leave it to you to decide whether it's good or bad ;-) Fiona Wainrit http://www.dailymail.co.uk//Women-share-stories-nightmare-

21.01.2022 I watched a client place so much emotional attachment onto getting a job he'd interviewed for, that when he received the news that he wasn't successful, he was completely crushed...After a short discussion, he was able to see the learning, reflect on what he could do differently next time & is now focusing his energy on other opportunities... When we go for job interviews, it's about maintaining the right balance of hope, reality & non-attachment, like anything we want in life this can be very challenging but it's also where the magic happens !

21.01.2022 So many of us are guilty of saying "I'll be happy when..." read why the 'success before happiness' formula is a set up for failure & how we can combat it: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/940611

20.01.2022 Happy holidays everyone! Stay safe, enjoy quality connections with loved ones & be kind to yourself xx

20.01.2022 Read about my most embarrassing moment during a Zoom webinar & learn why your personal branding is critical right now! https://careermojo.com.au//why-personal-branding-is-criti/

18.01.2022 I Love it when my two worlds collide. This week I attended the RMIT industry link careers expo, as part of my Talent Acquisition role at a global construction company. I had the privilege of talking to hundreds of eager and enthusiastic students about their careers. Their energy was so infectious, it was hard not to feel the buzz in the room. They have their whole future ahead of them with countless options, yet so many had no idea what they'd end up doing! This is when my career coaching hat came on...I hope I was able to impart some valuable advice & they had as much fun as I did!

18.01.2022 Were back!! As fun as mat leave has been, I truly love what I do & it feels great to be seeing clients again.

15.01.2022 I suck at the humble brag. This is a bit bizarre considering Im a personal branding expert & often tell my clients theyre being too humble! It may be because I genuinely love what I do & perceive the results I get for people as just being part of my job. Ive been working closely with someone to develop his career goals and personal branding. Hes been on fire over the last few weeks in his job search. I had a gut feeling that all his hard work would come to fruition soon ...& it did today- when he received not one, but TWO job offers! I asked him to reflect on his success. Based on this, here are my TOP THREE tips for job seekers in the current climate: 1. Know your must haves Vs nice to haves, values & goals asses the vacancy against these criteria 2. Ensure your certifications are ready to go & referees are worded up in advance 3. Be prepared to negotiate know your value & be prepared to answer honestly when youre asked your salary expectations #jobsearch #recruitment #jobseekers #gethired #careers #careergoals#careertransition #careerchange #careercoaching #careeradvice

14.01.2022 I was recently interviewed for Financial Management magazine on dealing with difficult colleagues. Unfortunately most of us have been there at some point. If you currently fall into this category, there's some great advice from a number of experts: https://www.fm-magazine.com//how-to-deal-with-difficult-co

13.01.2022 An inspiring reminder on the importance of taking time to be grateful for the good things in life: http://bit.ly/2vQx6XT #gratitude #happiness #positivepsychology

12.01.2022 This morning I went to a gym class before starting my day. The usual positive, upbeat instructor was away. I really noticed a difference in the teaching style of her replacement. She kept using phrases like this ones really hard, this will hurt, this is a killer. Each time I heard her make a negative statement, I flipped it around & told myself the opposite in order to stay motivated. I thought to myself how can someone expect to motivate & inspire a room full of people using negative language? Neuropsychology research has proven that our choice in words reflects our thinking. So negative phrases like these are not only unhelpful, but can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Is there an area of your life where youre using negative self-talk? Or is someone elses phraseology impacting you?

08.01.2022 Jim Carrey- what a legend. Even if you're not a fan of the characters he plays, he is full of wisdom & inspiring words in real life. This is worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEXaNY5lKTQ

06.01.2022 There's so many take-aways from this interview with LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner & Oprah....Especially the part about it all boiling down to "people just want to be heard"- such an important lesson to listen, acknowledge & clarify what others are saying, even if you disagree, you can still communicate that you've heard them & then explain why you disagree... If more recruiters ditched their pre-meditated interview questions & just had a conversation with candidates, I bet they would capture much more valuable information. https://www.linkedin.com//influencer-interview-oprah-winfr

01.01.2022 Giving feedback at work is so critical to staff's performance, engagement & development, yet so many Managers get it wrong.
