We're in a unique time. When it comes to finding a career that is your true fit, we're facing so many options - embrace the opportunity! In this episode, I reflect on an enlightening week spent in London working with former Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair, and the Tony Blair Institute, and seeing where opportunity led me. So what are the doors that you're going to open to see what then opportunities are for you? Because there is no "I could never do that" anymore.

One of the things I've realized in my coaching practice is that people don't often think about their dreams. Instead they talk about making more money or getting a promotion, but never the journey that will get them there. At the core of it all, there's a hesitancy to have the courage to make something happen in the first place. In this episode, I unpack how to communicate your dreams, where to find courage, and how - when you find it - it can open up more opportunities in your career and personal life that you could have never imagined.

Mentorship is a loaded word and for good reason because good mentors can make a huge impact on a person. But bad mentors can do serious damage. Mentorship is so important but it’s being facilitated all wrong. I discuss some thoughts on how an organization should approach mentorship and along with it, their succession plan, in a way that really speaks to the heart of their people.

The Black Lives Matter movement has shaken the world, and myself and many others have been forced to look inward and be honest.

We have this incredible momentum that has been hard fought, but why don't things change? It's time for the small group of privileged people, who have benefited from systemic racism, to think deeply about how we are going to be different going forward.

In this episode, I'm aiming to help people like myself understand how they can take a stand against all types of internalized racism, from your power to vote, to hiring and more.

The whole world is watching. We all have to do our part and hold ourselves and the systems around us accountable.

Looking to put your money where your mouth is?
I've donated to the following organizations and you can do the same:

Black Lives Matter - Toronto
The Bail Project

Read the Anti-Racism Resources Document, intended to serve as a resource to white people and parents to deepen our anti-racism work. Feel free to circulate this document on social media and with your friends, family and colleagues.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

Who's that one person in your day-to-day at work that makes your life absolutely miserable? In this episode, Jim discusses the effect of power-hungry colleagues who are on a seek-and-destroy mission of their own selves. So often we'll do everything in our power to try to fix this unbearable behaviour, and come up short. Jim tell you how to deal with these types of people, and save your sanity in the process.

Over the last three months, we've seen that things are changing quickly and not necessarily making sense. As we think about our work routines and prepare to move forward, I wanted to take this episode to expand on the conversation and help you understand who you are as a professional. The job industry isn't looking too promising these days and this can be pretty frightening to many people, from college kids just entering the workforce to executives with years under their belts.

In this episode, I dissect how to look for a job during these times, understand the new opportunities that are being created and rely on your transferable skills to snag them. Many of us will be looking for a fresh start coming out of lock-down, and the industry that you've been in doesn't define you.

It's awfully easy to become a hermit these days, so what if work-from-home became permanent? Freelancers and self employed professionals have been doing it successfully for years, so what will happen when corporations follow suit?

In this episode, I discuss the opportunities that working from home has created, and how managers and employers alike can use them to make changes for the better.  The possibilities for our lives to be different and for the quality to improve are endless - they're only bound by our imagination.

No one really knows when or if things will go back to normal, so it's time to start asking yourself the right questions and to adapt to your new reality. How is your current work-life balance, and will it work in the long-term? 

In this episode, I'm looking at how we can start to move forward with a new workday, both in a management role or as a team member. There are plenty of inspiring examples of people who've been adapting to the current way of life, and some might be sticking to it for the foreseeable future. But now, a new issue is that people lost track of their boundaries, entire lives have morphed into working 24/7.

So, let's take a moment to ask ourselves if we're happy, and how we can get some normalcy back.

When you have the feeling of being left at sea, education is the best way out and I'm excited about the opportunities ahead. In order to make the best informed decisions, we need to be looking at all sides.
In this episode, I try to open up a more uplifting dialogue about staying educated and the importance of diversifying our sources of information. For so long we've all been stuck in our individual bubbles and now we have the time to engage in diversity of thought and listen without emotion.
Don't get caught up in the bad news, and look ahead for the light at the end of the tunnel and how to get there - it won't be where you expect it to be!

There is a lot of fear for many women in the workforce around what will happen when they decide to add "mom" to their resume.

How will their colleagues and managers react?
What will happen to their job?
Will they still have the same level of respect that they've worked years to build, or will it all have disappeared by the time they come back from parental leave?

Typically the only way to know is to ask, and for women to be brave and speak out about their anxiety and expectations around how companies treat expectant parents. And companies need to be ready to listen.

One woman who did just that is Summer Hinton Lang, Global COO at BMO, who joins me this episode to speak about her experience and what ultimately sparked a LinkedIn post that has nearly recieved one thousand likes.

When you hear the word "infomercial", most people cringe.
But the great thing about infomercials is that they grab you quickly and you can immediately decide if you're interested. Infomercials have been a big part of Jim's career and the core of his coaching principles. In the first part of this five part series, Jim explains how to create your own infomercial and the power it has to grab the attention of future employers and understand personal relationships.

Around the world people are in a state of confusion, and this state has hit me hard since returning home to Toronto. The amount of daily new information, and the unknown of what's to come has been overwhelming. I'm sure you can relate.
We have no experience in which to base our thinking and actions these days. We're all in the midst of solving our own personal mysteries - picking up clues everyday but the only difference is we  don’t actually know what we are solving for until we actually get there. In this episode, I breakdown how I am trying to get things back in order, both mentally and physically, and hopefully help you to do the same.

Apocalypse: any universal widespread distruction or disaster.  Just two days before this episode was released, I was driving back home from Florida to Toronto after six-weeks in isolation. What I thought would be a regular drive really became a life-changing experience as I passed through state after state - stores and parking lots all empty. 
In this episode, I discuss how far and wide the domino effect has been felt from COVID-19 and what this will all look like in the end. Who will emerge from the ashes of disaster victorious and how can you be a part of that group? I hope to give you a realistic understanding of what things look like from my perspective, and help you think about what you need to do to make it out of this with the least possible wounds.

The world is mourning the loss of our routines while focusing on building a new one. All our lives we've been trained to follow structure, and that structure has crumbled. So, where do we go from here?
In this episode, I dissect what creating a new routine for yourself looks like in these times and help you get to a place where you can expand your mind and feel confident bringing new ideas to light. 
At this point, one thing is certain: no one can shut down ideas because no one knows what will work in our new normal. Our sense of community will look different, many people will have experienced some trauma and choose to prioritize different values. It's time to think broadly about what you're going to do next . Can you keep living like this? After all, we can't keep living like the "old world".

Most of my career, I've found myself encouraging clients to face their fears and embrace change. Today, this is a theme that almost everyone in the world is feeling. I recorded this new episode of my podcast last minute over the weeked to address the thing we're all worried about: the fear of the "new normal" and what that will look like.

Through this episode, I hope you'll better understand how to trust your instincts and look at the world around you to prepare for what's ahead. The only thing to fear is fear itself.

Adversity is the Mother of Invention. Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity. – Albert Einstein  
Jim holds this quote by Einstein in high regard, especially in a time of global crisis like this. 
In this episode, Jim addresses how the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing companies to make the decisions they couldn't before. The beauty of a disaster is how it can finally make sh*t happen by default - no satisfying opinions and no debate. Despite bold decisions that have had to be made, almost everyone has been able to make it work. 
Right now, companies are getting further and further away from their routines, but the time will come where things will pivot. When it does, will the new world be by design or default? Do we really need proximity? What will the new reality look like for you?

In this episode, Jim takes the time to acknowledge the progressive actions from industry leaders, and how the world will likely shift its workplace behaviours after this global pandemic.

Here's the thing: no one will give you anything you don't ask for. Whether it's an answer you're looking for, a sense of validation, or even a gift. Usually it takes a lot more than hope and optimism to get something you really want.
 
It is really hope, or is it actually fear that's holding you back?

In this episode, I address how to take back the power you've been giving to other people so you can finally stop festering and move on. To finally, ask the question.

It's easy to be a pessimist these days. Sure, there's nothing wrong with sitting in your feelings for a bit, but when it starts to impact the people around you it's time to make a change.

This week, I address a couple of things on my mind, from the ludicrous job market and the number of companies that are desperate for new hires, to a recent example of standing up when it seems like no one else will.

I also discuss how taking the time to have a healthy and positive outlook can have a huge impact. There's never been a better time to show some appreciation and totally make someone's day.

These days there are all sorts of ways that people aren't taking advantage of valuable time to really create a life filled with joy - both personally and professionally. In this episode, I discuss how actively choosing to take a step back and take the time to reflect can make a massive impact on your well being, and a lot of times that means being blatantly honest with yourself and others.

Recently, a woman that I coach exclaimed to me, "it's all your fault!".
I happily accepted the blame, because after being offered an opportunity she decided to hold out for a better one.

We've just celebrated another International Women's Day, so I wanted to take some time to celebrate the important women in my life and talk about what makes coaching women so rewarding. Working women have a lot of complexity, they're expected to do everything extremely well, and along the way it's easy to get lost.

I constantly talk about how we need to focus on the things that we're really good at, and STOP trying to get better at the things that we're really bad at, or don't like doing. So what happens when you look around the room and make a list of the people that you manage and make that list of their best skills? Even more future looking: what happens when parents focus on the things their kids are really good at, and encourage them to pursue it. There's a lot of potential to totally innovate the workforce of the future to be more empathetic and simply, more enjoyable. In this episode, I explain the first steps on how to get there.

Nobody likes it when they aren't picked for something they really wanted - it can feel embarassing, disappointing, and  rejection can be brutal when you really want something.

How do you move on after things don't go as planned?
And - what might be even harder - how do you stay optimistic about opportunities that are yet to come, when you're still healing from rejection?

“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed."

The end of the year usually brings about a lot of expectations. Many people are hyper focused on an upcoming Christmas bonus, how celebrations with family might play out, and what we hope the new year might bring. But I think it's time to get rid of our expections. In this episode I discuss my feelings on expections and how you can ring in the new year differently this year.

These days it seems like everything is stressing out, causing fear and anxiety, or simply shortening our fuse. As we head into another year of uncertainty, it's time to show ourselves a little grace. In this episode, I discuss how to make your life a little more comfortable personally and professionally and why you should stop tolerating the parts of your world that don't serve you.

December has arrived, and usually that means that people are starting to feel a little more stressed out. But looking around these days, every one seems like they've been stressed for a while already. In this episode, I reflect on what was a tough week for me and some lessons I've learned about making space for yourself and taking the time you need to feel some joy.

There is a fair degree of confusion in our world, so it's more important than ever that your authenticity comes through accurately. Sometimes our message misses the mark for the wrong reasons. In this episode, I unpack why sometimes, in delivering your message, it is essential to see yourself from an outsider's perspective. Doing so makes you better able to be a better communicator of who you are and what your message is. 
Hypocrisy has reached new heights in every aspect of our lives; how to spot it and what can you do about it.

This week I was seriously impressed by someone close to me who stood up for herself when she was put in a very intimidating situation. It inspired some thoughts about why it can be so hard for people to stand their ground, especially when they're focused on seeking validation. In this episode I share some examples of how an easy change in mindset can make a huge difference in finding your true fit, and how when people are so desperate to predict the future, they end up standing in their own way.

A lot of times when I'm talking to people about their fear of standing up for themselves, it comes down to one thing: they're afraid they won't get the response they want. But sometimes the response you don't want is actually the answer you needed all along. It could be a piece of information that validates your long-time frustrations or even finally, some honesty. In this episode, I cover a lot of ground and unpack the fear of advocating for yourself and tell some recent stories from people who've seen the impact that doing so can make.
