Lead your career and design the work you want. A Lead your career and design the work you want. A colleague reached out on LinkedIn requesting a call with me. We get on the call and she ask questions about a company on my profile. Then she goes on to say the reason she reached out was because she has watched my career progression from afar and have been impressed with the growth and passion that I have for my work. This was the second person that has said this very thing. I shared with her that the key to a fulfilling career is designing and planning your career from the inside out. Often, I’ve read many posts asking what job role to transition to because they are tired of their career or hate their job. My advice? Lead your career to design the work you want. Career or business. 👉🏾Firstly, get clear about what you want. Not about a role or a title. What interests you? What’s important now is different from when you started? 👉🏾What are your strengths? My career took a turn when I uncovered the a skill that I love using to serve others and found and continue to find ways to develop. 👉🏾What interest you? There are levels of interests. ⭐️Surface interests=something cool 😎 to consider but you’re not interested enough don’t want to spend time exploring. ⭐️Mid interests- this level of interests is where you will spend a short amount of time exploring but nothing extensive. ⭐️Would do it if I had everything I need ”interests”= here you get giddy, excited and even light up when you’re talking about doing the “thing” Typically what gets in the way of you becoming is YOU. This is the long game which is why I only work with purpose-centered women (and men) to design the work you want to maximize your potential, purpose and your pay. I have a tool below to help you with this quickly but with great impact. #dreamjob #teachersofinstagram #careerchanger #careerchangecoach #careerchange #purposedrivenwomen

Development leads to growth. Growth leads to oppor Development leads to growth. Growth leads to opportunities. Many will miss out on opportunities because of the lack of humility to development. I get it. Learning is vulnerable because we have to admit that we are improving. In a society that promotes acting like you have it together makes it challenging to admit you are learning or need to learn and grow in an area. Let me be clear, not everyone deserves this level of vulnerability. However, insure pride is not getting in the way of learning that will expand opportunities and choices for you. To learn more about how you can expand your choices and leveraging your learning that creates opportunities for you, I invite you to attend my free Facebook live event happening Friday at 11am central: The Role and Power of Self-Awareness in Career Transition on Lynn George Consulting- Career by Design #livingthelifeofansweredprayers #leadhership
#lifelessons What I’ve come to realize is that #lifelessons What I’ve come to realize is that there are two kinds of people in the world: 👉🏾 One that lives like no one owes him/her nothing 👉🏾 The other lives as if someone owes him/her something One lives in gratitude the latter lives with a sense of entitlement. While both potentially will work hard, the one with a sense of entitlement works with resentment and bitterness. The other sees that past experiences made them stronger and are grateful for what they are becoming as a result. The grateful one will forgive but not forget while the other accuses constantly whenever he/she is emotionally triggered. I’m not about to preach this morning. Which are you? Selah
BEHIND SCENES: I am not gonna lie, prepping for a BEHIND SCENES: I am not gonna lie, prepping for a presentation is one of my happy places 😁 I am the student of what I’m about to present to my audience. I can know a subject but when preparing, I am become a student and this deepens the learning. I love that God has given me the ability to help people regain momentum to advance their careers (depth) but also be able to apply what I know and help other audiences (breadth). Recently, a VP asked in an interview, “how did you get to this place of passion and purpose?” It’s been years of pausing, reflecting, journaling, looking within, learning, making mistakes, embracing those mistakes, having people in my corner with my best interest give candid feedback, tweaking, crying,doubting myself, regaining confidence, clarity, then not so clear again, The point is the path to destiny is not straight. It’s squiggly 🤣 Be curious about the journey. PS: Happy Saturday #publicspeaking #publicspeaker #leadershipdevelopment #oublicspeakingforchurchleadership #churchleadership
Know your WHY. Over the last week, we've seen a Know your WHY. Over the last week, we've seen a more than qualified and Honorable Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson navigate with grace what we, as women and black women, face on a daily basis in the workplace (questioning our ability, experience, and value despite her qualifications). My firstborn son was the driving force behind my motivation as a teen mother. I'll confess that I didn't always get it right, but knowing that someone was looking over my shoulder gave me the motivation to keep going. They're watching (your children, the future generation of leaders,and aspiring leaders). Earlier in my career, I didn't know how to deal with microaggressions and toxic situations as a young professional black woman but my faith helped me to persevere. WHY kept me going in the face of adversity and now I get to do what I love with joy and make the choice to go where I’m celebrated rather than stay where I’m tolerated. Know your why and revisit it often. #persevere
I am grateful and humbled by the women I get to wo I am grateful and humbled by the women I get to work with daily and some within my network I don't work with daily but I see you. These women are trailblazers, champions, change agents, and warriors who pave the way for all women and girls to live in a world where women's day is more than just a trend but where we are celebrated regularly. Keep going, I see you, and I am honored to know you. Happy International Women's Day #breakthebias #meaningfulwork #chiefmeaningfulworkofficer
(Sigh) 🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s annoying to no en (Sigh) 🤦🏾‍♀️ It’s annoying to no end a business or brand with little to no online presence. Brand definition- simply put, your reputation. Clients, vendors, decision makers, recruiters, hiring managers will look you up on line first before reaching out to you. Sooooo, What we are NOT doing in 2022 is not having an updated and active online presence…and while you’re at it, your posts or what you put out there needs to be more than quotes and scriptures…mmmkay? In the Career Reimagined program, I help female leaders and rising stars establish a brand that gets you noticed for the purpose of career growth, generate impact at scale, expand your influence, and maximize your purpose for a fulfilling career. As a female leader, what is getting in the way of building or establishing your personal brand? #teachersofinstagram #dreamjob #iquitteaching #careerchanger #careerchangecoach #executivecoach #femaleleadership
I spend my days talking to beautiful people who TA I spend my days talking to beautiful people who TALK about what their significant dreamwork is and have known it for years but have yet to take action to create it. As a woman who had her first kid as a teenager and overcame challenges that would have made me a statistic (only around 2% of teen moms graduate college), I learned early on that what you desire in life requires intention and focus on getting it. Remember in Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill calls this "definiteness of purpose" (read the book, excellent read) Why do I share this, you ask? 👇🏾 Because some of us over-index on education because we lack confidence in our ability to influence, advocate for ourselves, and build relationships. Let's discuss. I grew up believing that you should not have relationships with people in upper leadership positions in organizations. Yet, it was my manager who advocated for my promotion and supported my goal to advance my career in workforce development. After leaving the classroom in 2011, I took a small pay cut to return to corporate, and after a year, the company informed me that there was no money in the budget to increase my compensation. I was ready to walk, but with the support of my manager, I decided to advocate for myself. I did some salary research and lobbied for myself. That year, the outcome was an $8,000 increase. It may not sound like much, but that experience taught me a valuable lesson. Learn how to influence in different situations to get what you want. If you're not prioritizing relationships and growing your influence to do the work you've been put on this planet to do, you will get left behind. The grave doesn't want your calling or your gifts. 👉🏾Take action 👉🏾Set goals 👉🏾Shoot your shot 👉🏾Grow personally and professionally 👉🏾Learn, practice, and grow 👉🏾 Pray and do the work What else would you add to this list? #growyourcareer #teachersofinstagram #iquitteaching #purposedrivenwoman

It’s not enough that you know the work you have It’s not enough that you know the work you have passion for doing. The key to “overnight success” is development. Becoming impactful requires your curiosity, learning, and development. Passion alone does not lead to mastery. It will be your belief about your ability that leads to mastery. Affirm today: I am confident that I will succeed in what I set to achieve because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am enough. #executivecoach #loveyourjob #purposedrivenlife #purposedrivenwoman #confidenceiskey #confidencecoach #confidencebuilding #confidenceboost
You will experience failure on your way to greatne You will experience failure on your way to greatness. One of the best feeling in the world is doing the work you’re made for: There were many failures before getting to this place. We shun from failure because somewhere along the way, we adopt the notion that failure define us. So we hide and put on façades. Failure is simply data on how to improve. The quicker you get to this belief, you will stop fearing judgment of others, critiquing yourself so hard, and self-doubt. Now, I understand that this is a journey that you have to be a willing participant because learning is vulnerable. You have to admit that you’re improving. As I sit in rooms with decision makers and lean into what’s in front of me, because God did NOT give me a spirit of fear but of POWER, I lean in and open myself to learning and offering what I have to the best of my ability and effort. Not trying to prove anything. Because, What you seek is seeking you. Rumi Learn and be open to change. Destiny requires it. #loveyourjob #liveyourpurpose #teachers #teachersofinstagram #purposedrivenlife #purposedrivenwoman #careercoach

#Vulnerablepost moment Recently, I had a real li #Vulnerablepost moment Recently, I had a real life moment of proving orientation vs. learning orientation. Success (however defined for you) is more about your personal development and growth as it is about your career development. After some evaluation last year as I reflected on the year, I became aware of something very interesting about myself. I have somehow adopted the need to control the outcome for everything and that has put me in a proving orientation. Example of how proving can show up: The need to respond to everything said to you is a proving orientation. The need to always explain yourself is a proving orientation. The need to work just to “prove them wrong” about your capabilities is a proving orientation. Sometimes, you just need to be quiet and take it all in to gain insight. Proving stops you from listening, being curious, and growing in areas that opens you up for greater leadership capacity. An openness or willingness to learn creates curiosity and causes you to step back and reflect to see where the gaps are to improve. Instead of proving, focus on improving. Ask yourself a series of questions that helps you to get to the heart of why you’re in this proving state. This takes deep self-awareness and self reflection. Recently, someone said something to me that was untrue and immediately I wanted to react. Truth needs no defense. So, how do you make the switch from proving to improving? By getting very honest with yourself, opening yourself to learning, and disrupting the default (response) by making a different decision. Despite how disempowering a situation may seem, you always have a choice. #teachersofinstagram #dreamjob #iquitteaching #careerchanger #careerchangecoach #careerchange #executivecoach #careercoach #personalgrowth
Let's talk about career alignment. The "feeling" Let's talk about career alignment. The "feeling" that you are doing what you're supposed to do comes when what you do aligns with who you are and what excites you. Career alignment has a few components: It's work that aligns with who you are, your core values, your zone of genius, and what you're passionate about that drives your motivation. How do I find this, you ask? It will take deep self-awareness, self-reflection, intention, and focus on getting there. It will also take a willingness to lean into learning and unpacking some things about you to get what you want. This journey takes curiosity. Think about this and have a fantastic Thursday! #chiefmeaningfulworkofficer #careercoach #careerpurpose #careerdevelopment
