🎤Heather at (10:45) - I’m done with allowing others to treat me poorly.
🎤Heather at (11:58) - That’s how I ended up on the Steve Harvey Show. The executive producer wouldn’t call me back and I was frustrated.

In this episode, we invite Briar Dougherty. She is the Founder of Career Organic, the Author of several Resume Writing and Career Transition Master Classes, and the Co-Author of A Life Measured in Sessions.
What you will learn:
Mic Drop Moments
🎤Briar at (11:05) - Then you ask yourself at the moment. Do I wanna feel like that right now? And when you do that your body actually answers you. You immediately have a yes or no answer. And if it's a no, you move on with your day. It's like Okay, I'm not spending any more time on that and you move through.
🎤Briar at (12:46) - When I think about thoughts, I think about them being still there. We are not running away from them. We are just putting them where they need to be. We are holding them accountable, so we can go about our day, and we can continue to progress and grow.
🎤Trevor at (16:52) - God does that. The whole ‘who you know’ thing, God works through who you know. It’s through relationships, it’s through people.
🎤Briar at (19:00) - Number one is that the mindset isn't prepared for what a job search actually requires of you.
🎤Briar at (24:02) - If you’re getting into marketing, for instance, you get a platform underneath you and everyone’s gonna wanna hire you. Or, you kind of create your own business because people are paying you to present their brand for them.

🎤Chas at (10:42) - You may have a bad transaction or a bad experience, or somebody just as resents your success. So. they start bad mouthing you. But now I have created such solid relationships, that those people now, they are surrounding me, sort of walking around.

🎤Chas at (14:28) - I promise you, connection over anything else, will get you a job.

🎤Chas at (24:54) - He saw something in me that I couldn’t see for myself. That’s what we all need. We need somebody in our life to be that for us and we need that to be for somebody else.
🎤Chas at (27:34) - They're hiring the skill set and I hire attitude. I'll teach the skill set.
🎤Chas at (28:15) - Hire to attitude. Hire to their mindset. Yes they need to have some minimal level skill set of course. But hire attitude. Hire people that match your values. That's what you’re looking for.

🎤Mike at 01:04:37 - What started it was me commenting on a recruiter post, just going through my feed and whatever I engaged in. And this particular recruiter posted something like, ‘Oh take it easy on us. We have it hard.’ And it’s like, no I’m throwing a flag on this one.

🎤Claude at 26:40 - Honey is how we treat people.
🎤Mark at 28:20 - Not treat people the way you want to be treated but the way that they want to be treated.
🎤Claude at 29:45 - There is nothing that’s common sense right now especially in this wacky world we are living in.
🎤Claude at 30:35 - It is listening. I listen to a lot of people.
🎤Claude at 34:40 - I did it.
🎤Claude at 36:45 - I go through hard times, I go through dark times, I go through all those times. However, for me, there is always hope and some kind of light.
🎤Claude at 37:14 - People wake up every single morning without you and I know it wants us to succeed.
🎤Claude at 38:06 - It’s more like, yeah Covid is happening and work is really heavy right now because a lot of people have a lot of raw emotions, and that's really tough for me.

🎤Claude at 47:25 - We have really been focussing on our D E & I initiatives which is incredibly important. When I say we are creating a culture that’s rooted in belonging, the only way to do that again is to make people feel safe. And how do you do that, by not having people change their stripes. We, the culture, adapt to them.
🎤Claude at 50:30 - Who are you? I’m Claude. My business is the business of people. I love the exquisite mess that we all are. I have two young kids. And I want to make this world a better place for them.

🎤Claude at 56:55 - If you’re gonna write to me, remember what we already talked about. I don’t want to be wined and dined. I want to know about you. “Hey Claude, saw you on that show.
