How to Learn Your Signature Strengths

by


Are you wanting to make the move to work that you love and stop doing work that doesn’t fit you… guess what? It’s not your boss that makes this hard (ok well sometimes) but more than that it’s whether or not you understand the things that you enjoy so much that it feels like play.

Scott and Mark discuss signature strengths and how they impact your career.

Here are some of the resources mentioned in this episode

by

What if you could not only get good at it, but do it in less than 20 minutes each day WITHOUT having to go to networking events.

That’s what today’s podcast episode is all about! Mark discusses with us some very tactical (and actionable) ways you can become a better at networking!

No Really! Relationships are what takes you places.

by


Our entire lives are defined by our relationships – father/mother, husband/wife, brother/sister, friend, employer/employee, author, speaker, etc.

You have things you want to accomplish and achieve.

If you don’t have everything you want in your life…it’s because you have not yet found and developed the relationships that will allow you to accomplish those things.

In the last episode we talked about Mark leaving HTYC. Don’t worry he isn’t going to far! You can still find him at Sieverkropp.com

How Do You Know When It’s Time to Move On?

by

Have you ever wondered what the right time is to pursue different work?

Sometimes it’s painfully clear! (we work with people every day that have some serious disdain for their jobs)

But what if it’s not as obvious? What if you actually like your job and just aren’t sure if you should be pursuing something more meaningful… or what if you have multiple opportunities but aren’t sure how to measure which one would be better for you.?

This is exactly the question that we just faced just recently when setting out the goals for the rest of this year and into next year!

How do you know when it’s time to move on to something else?

This is hard, even for us (and it’s kind of what we do here at Happen to Your Career.)

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • When it’s past time for you to leave your job or your business
  • How to know what the warning signs are
  • What to actually do about it!

The 80/20 Rule…. And Why You Need to Know About It for Your Career!

by

The 80-20 Rule (1)

Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? Episode 42 of the HTYC Podcast is all about it!

Also called:

  • The 80/20 law
  • Pareto’s Principle
  • Pareto’s Law
  • various other names…

It’s a rule that’s observed in nature over and over again. It seem’s to apply to… well just about everything!

So what is it?

It typically means 20% of something provides 80% of your results.

Wikipedia gives some common business examples

  • 80% of a company’s profits come from 20% of its customers
  • 80% of a company’s complaints come from 20% of its customers
  • 80% of a company’s profits come from 20% of the time its staff spend
  • 80% of a company’s sales come from 20% of its products

Want some more personal examples?

How about in school when you did group work 80% of the results (coordinating, project work, making sure that one guy didn’t show up to the presentation drunk) were typically done by 20% of the people

for those non math junkies out there if you have a group of 5 that is one person that is busting tail trying to get an “A” while everyone else just sort of follows their lead and is along for the ride!

What’s that, not a big enough sample size for you?

Then what about this:

Around 80% of the United States wealth is held by 20% of it’s people. (in fact since 1989 the top 20% have progressively even gained more ground see here and here

Boom!… how do you like “dem apples”

But this carries further than that!

What about how this actually relates to your career?

80% of the things you do daily are NOT moving your career in the direction you want it to go.

How do I eliminate the 20% of stuff that doesn’t work?

In this episode you will learn

-What the 80/20 rule is

-How you can leverage it for your career (whether you have your own business or work for someone else)

-Tactical advice to eliminate some of your 80%
