Business
Are you an accidental meeting planner (like Darryl and Amanda), or did you plan...get it…” plan”...to be a planner all along? Well no matter how you got here, you’re here now and it’s time to own it. But what happens when you want to move up or are forced to move out and onto a new position or even a new career entirely? Our guest GiGi Blair is a professional career coach and she will walk us through some powerful first steps into making our professional visions a reality. This special “live-ish” episode was recorded in front of a virtual-studio audience from the MPI Virginia Chapter! Takeaways: Accept the fact that work has changed/is changing, sit with reality, and live in that truth. Take time to grieve if you need. Think like an entrepreneur, "If it is to be, it is up to me!" Create a vision board. Start thinking about what your core values/needs are. Also, consider joining a group of like-minded folks (a mastermind group). Build your personal brand: A=appearance, B=behavior, C=Communication If you are looking to make a change don’t forget about your hobbies or interests. There may be something of value that you can pull from to launch a new career.
