𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚.—Heather Vickery
I had so much fun chatting with Heather Vickery, author of 📖 𝙁*𝙘𝙠 𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨: 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙥 📖
Having fear isn’t the issue, says Heather. After all, fear is what protects us from real danger. But if we can break down our fears and question which ones serve us (or don’t 👀), we can learn to push through and reach our goals.
It’s all about taking 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 risk.
In this episode, Heather explains her BRAVE framework and how to use it as a trusty roadmap to reach our big, scary goals.
BRAVE stands for:
𝗕oundaries
𝗥eassessment, reframing, resilience,
𝗔ction and accountability
𝗩ulnerability
…which all lead to…🥁…
𝗘xpansion and empowerment (our results)!
Rarely do amazing things happen to us due entirely to luck. It’s more about how we (bravely!) show up in the world so we can create the thing that we want.
My conversation with Heather reminded me of my favorite quote from Seneca:
𝙇𝙪𝙘𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮.
So grab your cup of coffee or tea…or your walking shoes…and hear what Heather has to say about embracing fear and stepping out with bravery.

Powerful Behaviors that Lead to the C-Suite
I just got great feedback from a client regarding my process; she thought a tactic we used was helpful to landing her new job. 🎉
To be honest, the tactic is so simple that I’d taken it for granted.
I’m referring to the practice of using 1-3 job descriptions (a.k.a. job postings) to help you focus and tailor your resume to your target role.
The key to writing a compelling resume is to begin with the end in mind: In what role do you see yourself in 6 months? How can you help the employer envision YOU in that role?
Job postings help you future-proof your resume—and learn to think like an employer.
So, how can you use and analyze job descriptions?
🕵️♀️ Dig for themes
🏆 Gather your own examples of success
🎯 Align and get specific
🌟 Differentiate yourself

Win Over the Recruiter: 6 Tips for Creating a More Concise & Clear Resume
Listener Challenge: One-Hour LinkedIn Spring Cleaning
Servant Authorship: Authentic Writing in an AI World
So many of us used strategies that worked well early in our career:
1️⃣ Preparing to perfection
2️⃣ Eagerly pleasing
3️⃣ Fitting the mold
4️⃣ Putting pedal to the metal
5️⃣ Performing patiently (Oh, how can they NOT notice my amazing work?!)
Do any of these sound familiar?
⚠️ Here’s the problem:
Those same strategies can stifle our promotion to executive leadership roles.
Despite our best efforts to excel and stand out, a seat at the leadership table may seem elusive, leaving us feeling undervalued and stuck in our current position.
My guest, Ellen Connelly Taaffe—author of 📖 The Mirrored Door: Break Through the Hidden Barrier that Locks Successful Women in Place—has good news: we CAN push through those self-imposed barriers to advancement by pivoting away from the early career strategies that no longer serve us…and embracing new ones.
ABOUT ELLEN
Ellen knows her stuff. She’s a Clinical Associate Professor at the Kellogg School of Management, where she teaches Personal Leadership Insights and is the Director of Women’s Leadership Program.
Before that, she spent 25 years with Fortune 500 companies holding the top brand management post at divisions of PepsiCo, Royal Caribbean, and Whirlpool Corporation.

The first order of business in overcoming interview-related anxiety is 🥁:
💡 Remember that you’re also interviewing THEM! Yes, you’re the candidate, but fit is as important for you as it is for them. You deserve the opportunity to gather your own intel to make a decision.
💡 Write down 10 success stories to share.
💡 Curate a list of possible (interviewer) questions.
💡 Record your answers on Zoom or Yoodli.
💡 If the interview will be remote, this is a great opportunity to check how you should clean up your background, and check your eye level to see if you’re looking through the camera.

Win Over the Recruiter: 6 Tips for Creating a More Concise & Clear Resume
Listener Challenge: One-Hour LinkedIn Spring Cleaning
Servant Authorship: Authentic Writing in an AI World
Let’s face it:
Our readers’ inboxes are already overflowing. Grabbing their attention and making things easy for them is a non-negotiable for the modern business writer.
So I was grateful to have Erin Lebacqz of High Value Writing as my guest on Career Cohort to share advice for wrangling our words and hooking our reader right from the subject line.
(By the way, if this is one too many emails today and you’re not in the mood for reading, you can listen to our full conversation here. I’ve got you 😊.)
The following is a sampling of Erin’s advice:
✨ The Magic of the 2-part Subject LineImagine this: You're rushing to leave the office, scanning through your emails, and you come across a message with the subject "Food Drive: Donate Soon."
Without opening the email, you instantly know what it's about and the action required.
💡 You know to pick up some cans of soup from the store on your way home.
Now let’s apply this principle to another context—your job search.
If you're sending your resume to a recruiter, consider a subject line like "Opening for Marketing Director: Resume Attached." It's concise and immediately tells the recipient what to expect.
💪🏻 The Power of Action VerbsFor resumes, I avoid the phrase “responsible for” and any variation of the verb “to be.” Instead, I encourage clients to use action verbs to say more with less.
But Erin reminds us that action verbs aren’t just for resumes.
In any correspondence, verbs serve as a powerful anchor for conveying information concisely—and even setting the right tone.
Consider: “Please join us for the session.” vs. “Please attend the session.” How do you feel when reading those 2 nearly identical invitations?
🎯 Knowing Our Audience and Tailoring Content AccordinglyTailoring our message to our audience is key. The president won’t need the same level of detail as the tech team that’s working with us on a project.
Let’s just remember…
🤝 Tailoring Content Doesn’t Mean Sacrificing Respect
If there’s one place where consistency matters, it’s how we communicate with others across our organization—no matter their title.
After chatting with Erin, I’m even more motivated to read every email (before I hit send) and ask myself, as the reader:
🤔 Do I feel motivated? Do I feel like my time is respected? Is there a balance between clarity (writing IQ) and empathy (writing EQ)? If not, I’ll need to work on my message. 🤔
To listen to the full conversation, tune in to your favorite podcast app.
Or listen here on Apple Podcasts and get more great advice from Erin on:
- Avoiding trigger words. Hint: You’ve heard the phrase, “Don’t should all over yourself.” Well, Erin challenges us to avoid “shoulding” all over others, too!
- Giving feedback. How about starting with, Have you tried…? Also works as a great replacement for Should!
- Balancing brevity with warmth. Concise doesn’t have to mean cold. As Erin says, we can be “concise AND nice!”

Servant Authorship: Authentic Writing in an AI World
If you’re considering a side gig—either as insurance in an unpredictable job market or as a creative outlet for your passion project—video can be an easy entry point to set yourself up as an authority on your topic.
Just remember: The journey toward entrepreneurship is not a one-time feat. It's a continuous process of learning, growing, and honing your skills.
The idea is to embrace every opportunity—yep, that includes “mistakes”— as stepping stones for our growth.
One of my favorite things about my guest, Tanya (sounds like “CAN-ya”) Smith, is that she prefers live streaming vs. recordings for the simple reason that she can let little “mistakes” slide, making her the perfect coach to tell you it’s ok to not get hung up on what really doesn’t matter. And by the way, those little hiccups make you HUMAN, which makes you more likely to connect with your audience.
Tanya shares her own journey of how she evolved from a beginner in video marketing to an expert, with a continuous learning mindset. Her story is an inspiration for all of us who are testing new ways to show up in the world.
A FEW NUGGETS FROM TANYA
💡 Don’t try to serve everyone. Narrow your focus and find your niche market.
💡 You don’t need a lot of fancy or expensive gear. When starting out, make the most of your existing resources.
💡 Strive for consistency to strengthen your craft.
💡 If you have fun with video and see it less as another chore or duty, you'll find the time for it, to build it, and to let it grow.
ABOUT TANYA
Tanya Smith, an on-camera video strategist and coach, empowers women-owned service businesses to cultivate a captivating conversational brand through live-stream marketing. With over a decade of experience, Tanya has emerged as a distinguished leader and sought-after expert, sharing insights about content marketing for national organizations and events.

Mastering Your Message with Cindy Skalicky
Have you ever felt like those who work with you don’t support you, even though you’re trying to achieve amazing results? Do they tell you you’re difficult to work with, or that you’re too much? Do you feel like they just don’t understand your intentions?
My guest, Parissa Behnia, coaches C-Suite and Senior leaders who are—what she calls—high-will, high-skill badasses. These leaders offer tremendous value to their company, but their edges may start to erode their relationships because their colleagues feel overwhelmed.
Parissa says badasses are like well-meaning bulls in China shops. They don't mean to break as many dishes as they do, although let’s be honest, a lot of those dishes were ugly anyway.
Modern Badasses are often described as brilliant jerks (or worse). They’re told that they’re too brash, too much, or too colorful.
Live examples of Modern Badasses are Steve Jobs, Gloria Steinem, Thomas Edison, and Malala Yousafzai. You don’t have to like them personally to recognize the impact they’ve had on society. But Parissa is concerned about the ones we’ll never know because they’ve been sidelined, or they didn’t know how to get out of their own way. What technology or gifts to society do we not benefit from because we’ll never meet them?
How can we help Modern Badasses? What lenses have to be changed so they can be seen as important leaders instead of nuisances?
In our conversation, Parissa shares great advice—not only for badasses themselves—but for the people who interact with them every day. People who may be put off by the badass’s need for speed. Parissa knows that these badasses usually have a lot to offer, and if the rest of us can learn to harness that energy, we might find we’re in for an exciting ride.
Parissa is the author of Modern Badass: Tales from the Leadership Front.

As a resident of Northern California, I’m grateful for the signs of renewal and glimpses of spring, after a whooole lotta rain.
Personally, I’m fine with the rain. We needed to fill our reservoirs, and I’m convinced the bursts of extra-vibrant colors are, in part, a result of all those atmospheric rivers.
Speaking of renewal, I’m excited to see the new roles some of my clients have landed recently.
And speaking of new roles, if you have one…
Have you refreshed your LinkedIn profile to reflect your new position?
If we’ve worked together on your LinkedIn profile, I’ve already done the heavy lifting. So a quick refresh should be easy.
Just remember that your profile is a dynamic site. It’s meant to evolve just as you and your career are. So be careful not to set it and forget it.
Below are steps you can take now to refresh each LinkedIn profile section, assuming you updated them before you landed your latest job.
The best part? Unlike house spring cleaning, you should be able to do this in under an hour. Tune in to hear what to prioritize, tips on best re-writing practices, and how much time is reasonable to allocate for each section. The idea is to avoid overthinking it and managing your time.

Getting Your Resume Past ATS
How to Demonstrate Your Leadership Skills Without a Formal Title
The Difference Between Scope & Achievements on Your Resume
One of the challenges I see job seekers facing when they send me their resume is distinguishing between scope and achievements.
But there is a difference.
Scope is the context within which you do your job. Think of it as the setting for you to razzle dazzle your audience with your amazing achievements.
Scope captures the breadth of your job and/or leadership. Examples might include the number of people on your team, the value of a portfolio you inherited, or the territory for which you’re accountable.
Scope is important to include because it demonstrates your ability to lead and manage initiatives.
But it’s those BIG, JUICY achievements that set you apart.
Example #1Let’s use territory management as an example.
🌐 You’re talking about scope if you say you managed markets that included North America, Europe, and Asia.
🏆 BUT you’re talking about an achievement if you say you expanded that market by 80% in under two years.
Example #2How about team leadership?
🌐 If you say you led a team of 150 high performers, you’re still talking about scope.
🏆 On the other hand, if you say you built a team of 150 high performers from scratch, that’s an achievement.
Example #3Say you’re communicating what you do in sales.
🌐 If you simply say you managed a $60M portfolio, that’s scope.
🏆 However, if you say you grew your portfolio from $10M to $60M in one year…now that’s quite an achievement!
TIPS🌐 Include scope in the paragraph under each job title.
🏆 Reserve your bullets for those BOLD and BODACIOUS impact stories.
By the way, if you’d like to get tips like this more frequently, I spend a lot of time on LinkedIn. Please do connect with me. You can find me here.

As Better Sleep Council's spokesperson, frequent speaker and guest lecturer on the topic of sleep for schools, universities, sleep clinics, U.S. corporations, and employee wellness companies, Terry educates audiences on the importance of sleep to physical and psychological health, growth and development, safety, optimum functioning, productivity, peak performance, and quality of life.
How does sleep loss impact job performance? The American Academy of Sleep Medicine found that just an hour or two of sleep loss contributed to a 19% drop in productivity. Not to mention an inability to concentrate, memory loss, irritability, and weight gain...YIKES!
How can we establish a good work-sleep balance? Terry shares evidence-based advice on how to improve your 'sleep hygiene' by adjusting light, noise, and temperature in the bedroom; shutting down electronics well before bedtime; and separating work and sleep environments.
Feeling tired at work? Ditch the caffeine and take a power nap. The shift to remote or hybrid work has changed America’s daytime sleep habits to include sleep breaks at work. Terry believes that midday power naps—when done right—are a quick and efficient way to recharge during the day.
Terry also shares great tips for ending the vicious cycle of work anxiety, stress, and lost sleep.

If you struggle getting started because you're waiting for inspiration, try reversing your logic.
The #1 piece of advice for writers is to get our butts in the chair and start writing. That's the only way we're going to get inspired.
We get inspired by doing.
This applies to the project of job search, as well.
Whether the task is to research companies, make appointments, or search job postings...it still applies: get your butt in the chair. Believe me--I know how hard it is to get going, so I'm sharing what's worked for me.
I have this committed to memory: Start writing now matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.--Louis L'Amour
In the last episode, I talked about the 5 elements of a successful job search project. In this episode, I'm focusing on the importance of getting the start date on your calendar and following that with a weekly cadence.
Tips:
- Block that start date and protect it against all temptations, like opening an "urgent" email.
- Create a schedule for the week (preferably on the Friday or Sunday before the week starts) so the time is blocked and protected from other activities.
- Schedule your blocks during the time of day when you have the most energy. (Are you a lark or an owl).
- Don't wait for inspiration! Inspiration comes by doing.
How many times have we been advised to manage our job search like a full-time job. If you consider that, though, it can be overwhelming. Think about it: 40+ hours added to the 40+ hours you're already committing to your "day" job.
I recommend conducting your job search as a project, instead.
Listen to my 5-step plan to help you launch your job search NOW.
Onward!

We often get hung up on ATS when writing our career documents and communicating regarding our skills, but there are 3 key elements that are often overlooked: * Target * Tone * Time
Listen in to how you can streamline your communication by incorporating these elements.
In this episode I share best practices for getting your resume past ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) and into the hands of the hiring manager.
Specifically, I talk about the 3 areas of your resume that have the greatest impact on the ATS filter: 1. Skills 2. Formatting 3. Graphs and other graphics
To view my resume samples and see how I incorporate these elements, visit www.wordsofdistinction.net/samples
It’s so HARD for me to talk about myself!
I get it.
You don’t feel the need to shout your achievements from the rooftops. You’re a high achiever, and there’s a reason you got where you are: you spend more time showing what you can do, so you haven’t needed to talk about it.
And to be clear, showing vs. telling is the first rule of creating a standout career profile.
But you need to promote yourself, because it’s the only way you’re going to rise above the competition.
Listen to my thoughts on finding the perfect pitch between self-promotion and humility.
