The Executive Ladder

Career lessons from Little League

I was at my son’s baseball game yesterday when I realized that there was a connection between career success and little league.  There are basically three types of players (and employees):

1. The superstars that possess both talent and a passion for the game.
2. Those that possess the talent but not the passion.
3. Those that “technically” aren’t great players but want to play baseball more than anything. 

With twelve players and only nine positions, someone is going to spend a lot of time on the bench.  Who do you think gets the most playing time?  Of course, the superstars get the majority of time in the field but after that, it’s the players with passion.  Surprised?  What they lack in skills, they more than make up for in effort. 

Do you want to be a “Superstar” in your career?  Find a way to align your passion with your strengths and experience and you’ll have the right formula for a successful career.  Has your career stalled?  Discover the 7 unintentional actions that can slow your climb up the corporate ladder and how to get your career back on track. 

My website, www.leverageyourtalent.com is finally online!

I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new website, www.leverageyourtalent.com. 

It provides you with access to the latest and most effective approach to career advancement, coaching.  The power of two isn’t just twice as great as one, it’s exponential.  No longer do you have to go it alone in your climb up the corporate ladder.  Imagine how much you would achieve if you had a dedicated collaborator, skilled in corporate advancement, to guide you. 

Although career coaches are knowledgeable in a number of areas, I have committed to focusing solely on internal career advancement so that I can bring you the strategies and resources you need to achieve your career goals.  The services currently available are individual and group coaching.  In the fall, I will be introducing eClasses, as well as, a membership site with monthly seminars, resources, and laser coaching call-in sessions. 

Are you ready to take your career to the next level?  If so, I invite you to visit my website to find how you can launch your career up the corporate ladder.  My schedule will only permit me to accept five new clients this summer.  Don’t miss out!
