On A Mission To Help Jobseekers By Networking.

I’m interested in Junior Social Media or Community Management roles. 

Since April 2022, this LinkedIn page has grown from 0 to 18.5k followers organically, in a little under four years. 

I’ve achieved this by creating networking and mostly support-focused content aimed at helping other jobseekers.

Through this work, I’ve built an engaged and active community by posting consistently and actively engaging in comments and discussions.

I plan and write LinkedIn posts with a strong focus on audience interests, clarity, and approachability, adapting content based on what resonates most with the community.

I’ve also helped keep this space safe by taking appropriate action when needed, including reminding the community to stay alert to scams and maintaining respectful, supportive discussions.

I also have a few years experience of moderating for a few other social media accounts/pages. 
(Voluntarily.)

I’ve also had a dream for the past 17 years to start my own online creative business and I am taking steps towards this, but as I have been unemployed for 5+ years I am searching for a WFH paid job I can do alongside.

If you can see this please, please share. 

I wouldn’t usually keep asking BUT: 

This job market has defeated me. 

It’s been a long 5+ years with no job or income since I was made redundant from my full time position as a Retail Assistant in a kitchen shop in August 2020. 

I’ve tried so hard to find work and have applied to 2k+ jobs since. 

I’ve had about 2-3 handfuls of interviews in that time, a ton of rejections and more applications have been completely ignored than ever. 

This experience has made me feel lost and overwhelmed, frustrated and upset. 

I have a dream to start my own online creative business and I AM taking steps towards that, however, I know overnight success is unlikely and therefore, I believe I still need to find work alongside starting. 

I never expected to be unemployed for so long and I’m extremely worried about everything. 

I’ve kept applying to paid jobs even when I’ve felt like giving up. 

I’ve put in the effort. 
I’ve done the interviews. 

And I’ve nothing to show for it… 

So here I am, letting you know that I’m still very much open to work. 

I’m open to WFH positions in social media, community management or admin support for creative start-ups. 

Please, if you can see this, please share. 

And if you’ve made it to this last sentence, thank you for reading. 

PS: Thank you SO much to everyone who has reposted, commented and supported the post like this I posted the other day. I have had some leads but am still looking, so am posting this again - as I know some won’t have seen yet.

Big Dreams Of Starting My Own Business | Looking For WFH Paid Job | Helping Jobseekers Build Community Online | Coffee Enthusiast

I work at the intersection of leadership, systems, and human capacity.

Over 20 years, I’ve led programs and operations across education, workforce development, government, and the military, often in environments where the mission matters, constraints are real, and execution has consequences. I’ve worked directly with roughly 5,000 students and adult learners across K–12, higher education, and workforce systems.

What I’ve learned is simple and uncomfortable.
Most breakdowns aren’t caused by a lack of talent or effort. They happen when systems are unclear, accountability is diffuse, and people are asked to carry what the structure should hold.

I’m usually brought in where ownership is muddy, decisions do not flow cleanly, and outcomes erode at handoffs. My role is to slow the right things down and make the invisible explicit. I help leaders clarify responsibility, align stakeholders with different incentives, and build operating rhythms that teams can sustain without burning out or hardening.

I’ve managed multimillion-dollar portfolios, led compliance-heavy programs, and built delivery, reporting, and monitoring systems that support executive oversight, audit readiness, and continuous improvement. Across sectors, the pattern holds. When expectations are explicit, and decisions sit at the right level, outcomes improve and the human cost drops.

Alongside my operations work, I write and speak about clarity, ownership, regulation, and sustainable leadership. I’m the author of one book on leadership and am currently completing a second focused on belonging, capacity, and identity at work. My work is not about motivation or performance. It is about helping leaders regulate, choose cleanly, and lead without abandoning themselves in the process.

I do my best work in environments that value steadiness over urgency, judgment over theater, and execution that honors the people doing the work.

Talent doesn’t disappear.
Belief gets tired.

That’s the part no one tells you.

You don’t lose your edge.
You lose energy from carrying uncertainty too long.

Especially after you’ve started over.
Especially after you did the “right things.”
Especially when you’re the one who keeps it together.

If confidence feels harder lately, that’s not failure.

It’s nervous-system debt.

Doubt isn’t weakness.
It’s a signal.

A signal that you care.
A signal that what’s next actually matters.

Here’s the reframe most people miss:

Trusting yourself again
isn’t hype.

It’s quiet courage.

No grand declarations.
No perfect clarity.

Just movement before certainty shows up.

Belief doesn’t come back through thinking.
It comes back through motion:

• One honest choice
• One hard conversation
• One step taken while unsure

This isn’t hustle.
You don’t owe speed to anyone.

This is capacity before clarity.

A year from now, you won’t remember the fear.

You’ll remember the moment you stopped outsourcing trust and chose yourself anyway.

Not because it was easy.
Because staying comfortable was costing you more.

If your chest tightened reading this pause.
If something softened don’t ignore that.

This is the edge where most leaders quietly come undone before they come back stronger.

Not because they lacked talent.
Because belief got tired.

You’re not behind.
You’re rebuilding trust with yourself.

And that changes everything.

You don’t need a better year.
You need more capacity.

Most people think optimism means pretending things are fine.
It doesn’t.

Optimism isn’t denial.
It’s orientation.

It’s not about predicting a better future.
It’s about being better equipped to meet it.

When the data is mixed, where you place your attention becomes your future.

If you’ve been calling yourself “pessimistic,”
you might actually just be perceptive.

You’re not negative for noticing reality.
You’re just tired of carrying it alone.

For me, outlook isn’t shaped by headlines or forecasts.
It’s shaped by whether I feel aligned, resourced, and able to adapt.

When people feel agency, optimism rises.
When they feel trapped, it collapses.

That’s why the real question isn’t:
“Will 2026 be better?”

It’s:
“Will I be better equipped to meet it?”

Because joy isn’t a mood.
It’s a state shift.

I used to try to think my way out of heaviness.
It never worked.

What changed was learning how to regulate not just perform.

And when leaders do that, everything downstream changes:
Decisions.
Relationships.
Impact.

This is where most of my work with leaders actually begins.

Not with strategy.
With state.

Because presence isn’t passive.
It’s a form of power.

Save this for the next time the future feels heavy.

What are you carrying quietly right now?

And what would it look like to build capacity instead of just hoping things improve?

If this is something you’re navigating silently, you don’t have to do it alone.

If you feel like an imposter, you’re probably early not wrong.

Imposter syndrome isn’t a flaw.
It’s your nervous system updating its map.

Growth feels like trespassing before it feels like home.

Not because you don’t belong but because your skill hasn’t caught up to your courage yet.

Most people misread this feeling.

They think:
“I’m not ready.”
“I should wait.”
“I need more confidence.”

But what they’re really saying is:
“I’m afraid of being seen before I’m certain.”

Momentum isn’t built by certainty.
It’s built by showing up before you feel ready.

You don’t believe your way into action.
You act your way into belief.

Confidence is a side effect, not a prerequisite.

And two years from now, the only real difference will be this:

Did you move?
Or did you wait?

Both cost time.
Only one builds a life.

You don’t need to feel ready to begin. You just need to begin.

I see this constantly in people navigating growth transitions not because they’re incapable, but because their identity hasn’t caught up to their evolution yet.

Where are you growing faster than your identity can keep up?

Letting go isn’t failure.
It’s discernment.

Most people don’t leave because they don’t care.
They leave because they cared too long in systems that stopped caring back.

You can believe in the mission.
You can show up for the people.
You can give your best.

But when a culture refuses to listen, adapt, or protect what matters.

You can’t outwork that.

Not with loyalty.
Not with effort.
Not with patience.

Eventually, a few things get clearer:

→ Your time is not infinite
→ Your energy is not renewable
→ Your integrity is not negotiable

Staying isn’t always strength. Sometimes it’s just fear wearing discipline’s clothes.

Leaving isn’t quitting.
It’s choosing what no longer gets to cost you.

And no this isn’t selfish.

It’s regulated.
It’s self-trust.
It’s leadership.

Save this if you’re still deciding what deserves your energy.

What did you stay loyal to longer than it deserved?

Habits don’t fail because we lack discipline.

They fail because they’re fighting a nervous system running on autopilot.

If that line made you exhale, pay attention.

That’s not relief.
That’s recognition.

Most advice tells you to try harder.
Summon more willpower.
Be more consistent.

But willpower is a short-term resource.
Your nervous system is not.

Once a habit is formed, it’s no longer a decision.

It’s a pattern.

Cue → response → relief.

That’s why white-knuckling change almost always backfires.

You’re asking intention to override automation.

And when it doesn’t work, you call it a discipline problem.

It’s not.

It’s a design problem.

Willpower can’t compete with an environment that’s training you daily.

Habits don’t fail because you’re weak.
They fail because the environment is reinforcing the behavior you’re trying to change.

Real change doesn’t happen when you fight yourself.

It happens when you redesign what your system responds to.

Change the cues.
Change the friction.
Change the environment.

Not because you’re lazy.
But because your nervous system is efficient.

When habits feel “hard,” that’s not a character flaw.

That’s data.

It’s your system telling you the setup isn’t aligned.

This is why sustainable change looks quieter than motivation culture promises.

No hype.
No heroics.
No constant self-correction.

Just fewer obstacles in the way of the behavior you want and more support around the one you’re building.

When behavior shifts without the fight, that’s when habits actually stick.

Not through force.
Through alignment.

If you’ve been blaming yourself for not having “enough discipline,” pause.

It might not be a motivation problem.
It might be a systems problem.

And systems can be redesigned.

Which habit are you fighting that your environment is actually reinforcing?

Most people don’t lose their way.
They outgrow it.

And no one prepares you for how disorienting that feels.

For a long time, I chased what made sense on paper:
Titles. Stability. Approval.
The version of success that gets applauded.

From the outside, it looked fine.

Inside, I was constantly bracing.
Not for a crisis just the next email, the next meeting, the next demand.

I noticed it in small ways:

• A jaw that never unclenched
• Sundays heavier than Mondays
• A quiet dread when I opened my calendar before I knew why

That low-grade tension that whispers:
You should be grateful even when your body is done pretending.

I wasn’t tired from working hard.
I was tired from misalignment.

From performing certainty while carrying questions.
From staying in rooms that rewarded speed, not truth.
From holding responsibility without real agency.

Here’s what changed everything:

Clarity isn’t something you think your way into.
It’s something you build capacity for.

When your nervous system is resourced:
• Urgency stops masquerading as importance
• Momentum stops pretending to be purpose
• Tolerance stops getting labeled “stability”

This isn’t a push.
It’s a noticing.

And you don’t owe speed to anyone.

You start asking better questions:

Is this actually mine?
Is this who I’m becoming?
Is this what I want my life to feel like?

Choosing peace over performance looks irrational to people who’ve never burned out from “success.”

But once you feel what it’s like to choose yourself,
you can’t unsee what your body
has been telling you all along.

Not because it’s easier.
Because it’s true.

If what you worked for
doesn’t feel like home anymore,
you’re not broken.

You’re becoming.

This is where most of my work with leaders begins not with strategy, but with identity.

Because sustainable leadership
starts with capacity, not pressure.

Future-you will recognize this moment.

💬 Where have you “succeeded” into something your body never chose?

🔁 Repost to help others lead with calm

Not everything you believe is yours.
Some of it was installed.

From family.
From culture.
From the rooms that rewarded you.

Crowds don’t just share opinions.
They share nervous systems.

Fear spreads.
Certainty spreads.
Outrage spreads.

And eventually, momentum feels like truth.

Here’s what most people miss:

You don’t need more clarity.
You need more capacity.

Because when your nervous system is resourced,
you stop confusing urgency with meaning.
You stop mistaking noise for direction.

This isn’t a push.
It’s an invitation.

You don’t owe speed to anyone.

You stop asking,
“Who should I be?”
and start asking,
“What’s actually true for me?”

That’s where leadership begins.

Not with answers.
Not with certainty.
Not with control.

With awareness.

If your chest tightened reading this,
that wasn’t random.

That’s recognition.

This is the moment most people realize
they’ve been performing instead of choosing.

And it’s where the real work begins.

You’re not behind.
You’re early.

Failure isn’t the threat.
Meaning-making is.

Most people don’t avoid action because they might fail.
They avoid it because they’ve quietly fused failure with identity.

Unqualified.
Exposed.
Unsafe.

So they don’t apply.
They don’t pitch.
They don’t move.

Not because they can’t but because their nervous system learned that failure equals danger.

I’ve been there myself.
And it’s often the moment people come to me already tired not from effort, but from the constant self-monitoring that stalls movement.

Here’s the shift that changes everything:

When failure becomes data, not identity, your body stops bracing.
And when the body stops bracing, movement becomes possible again.

That’s not motivation.
That’s regulation.

Failure doesn’t stall people.
The meaning they attach to it does.

This is the work I do with leaders navigating burnout, misalignment, and quiet career pivots when something needs to change, but forcing clarity only makes it harder.

You’re not behind.
And if this is a season you’re trying to understand rather than rush through, you don’t have to do it alone.

Follow along if you want more reflections on emotional leadership, alignment, and navigating change without burning yourself out.

The fastest way leaders lose clarity right now
is training their nervous system on fear.

Not mindset.
That’s the mistake.

Fear-focus creates noise.
Regulation creates movement.

And that’s why so many capable, thoughtful people feel on edge, exhausted, and reactive.

Fear keeps us in survival:
fight
flight
freeze

Reactivity spreads faster than truth.

I’ve watched strong leaders burn out not because they didn’t care but because they stayed immersed in fear without learning how to regulate.

This isn’t about ignoring reality.
It’s about staying resourced enough to respond to it.

Bravery today isn’t louder opinions
or stronger reactions.

Bravery is regulation.

Regulation looks like:
• pausing before responding to a charged message
• stepping away from doom-scrolling instead of absorbing it
• choosing one grounded conversation over ten reactive ones

Hope isn’t denial.
It’s direction.

Community isn’t passive.
It’s protective.

If this made you exhale, pause.
That’s your nervous system recognizing safety.

Your small, intentional choices create ripples you may never see but others will feel.

This is where most of my work with leaders begins.

Because sustainable leadership
doesn’t start with strategy.

It starts with regulation.

You’re not behind.
You’re responding to a heavy moment with awareness.

What helps you stay regulated
when the noise gets loud?

🔁 Repost to help others lead with calm

Most people don’t lose respect in public.
They lose it in private by tolerating what slowly erodes them.

They say one thing.
Do another.
And call it maturity.

That misalignment is expensive.

Respect doesn’t come from habits.
It comes from the consistency between what you say, what you do, and what you tolerate.

That’s coherence.

And when those line up, people don’t just respect you they trust you.

Not because you’re loud.
But because you’re predictably real.

I’ve stayed longer than I should have in rooms that needed my calm more than my truth.
And I see this constantly in leaders who look respected but feel unseen.

Respect isn’t built from habits. It’s built from coherence.

Where have you been staying agreeable at the cost of being aligned?
