How do you stave off jet lag?

Despite my efforts, I was jet lagged this morning—effectively waking in the wee hours and then sleeping in until 11 AM (effectively missing hotel breakfast). I usually try to acclimate to the current time zone by hydrating and going to bed as late as possible. It did not work so well for me today.

This is what I would call the "opening day" of the Career Thought Leaders Consortium, where attendees came together for a get-to-know-you dinner before we get down to symposium business tomorrow.

I got to break bread with Debra Boggs, Lynda Grossman, Beth Benatti Kennedy, Amelia Brooke, and Susan Chritton, tonight. Debra, Lynda, and I may have been spotted later enjoying a nightcap of port. 🍷 

I love hearing about other people's business niches and the different ways we serve job seekers. I feel very lucky to be a part of it.

CTL 1

Did you know that Executive Presence accounts for 26% of what it takes for you as a leader or executive to get promoted?

What does that mean for you?

This means that your "hard" skills, functional skills, and industry skills are essential for you to be considered for a high-priority role. This is the *baseline*. The way you win the job is to show up with Executive Presence.

What is EP?

It is how we Look, Speak, and Behave (Gravitas).

I'll speak next Friday at the Career Thought Leaders Consortium at the 2024 Symposium in Portugal on EP and strategies for careers- professionals to help clients uplevel their awareness about how they show up. 

(I know, poor me. Someone has to do it!). 😂

Job-seeking applicants, do you get one instant auto-rejection after another?

If this is you, 👆 I recommend reviewing one part of your application process:
𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 

One thing to note, ATS systems do not auto-reject applications. Humans set up the system to go to work for them. According to Jobscan, this is how ATS systems are used:

"𝘈𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘛𝘚 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘦."

This should make a lot of sense to you if you are in the market now. You can hire an experienced resume writer or use services like Jobscan, Intry, or others that use AI to build resumes that better match every job you apply for. LinkedIn will also give you an indication of your overall job match. Lots of tools at your disposal! 

Adjusting your resume for every application is work. If you are getting auto-rejections, you need to match the words and phrases being sought by the recruiter and hiring manager.

Now - back to the original question -- 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼-𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀?

𝗣𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀! 👈

Look at the job description and ask yourself, 

"Am I missing a required qualification (degree, certification, specific experience) I was asked about in the additional questions section? 

Did I enter a salary range higher than the one posted? 

Did they ask for specific industry or functional experience?"

These and many other knockouts are designed to help the recruiter focus on the close matches 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. Recruiters use knockout questions to fine-tune large candidate pools. In my experience conducting executive searches, I read every application and resume -- and review the knockout questions to decide whether to proceed with a call. If the system is set up for an auto-rejection, then a human may not review it at all.

Answering questions and following instructions is important! I know a CxO who forgot to attach their resume - and received an autorejection because of it. Only through networking did we discover this was the reason it was not reviewed. Then, through networking -- they were up-leveled to speak to the CxO making the hire.

Remember, your resume might be just fine. If you don't land the knockout questions your application may not have a chance to get reviewed. 

In the video, I explain what you can do.

Are you limiting yourself, or could you draw a bigger circle for yourself and drive a bigger impact? 

💡 A conversation with a client got me thinking about the boundaries we set for ourselves and the potential for growth beyond them. 

"I have a good position here, but I wonder if I could draw a bigger circle around myself somewhere else," they mused. 

This isn't about dissatisfaction but recognizing our capacity for influence and fulfillment.

My clients' strengths—particularly of Significance, Relator, and Competition —mirror their ambition to excel and redefine the scope of their impact. They thrive in roles that are meaningful to the business and deeply fulfilling personally, driving them to share their enthusiasm widely and excite people to do great work.

This reflection leads to an essential question for all of us: 

Are we truly maximizing our potential? Or is there a broader horizon waiting if we dare to explore it? 

My client's journey reminds us that sometimes, to find our most significant impact, we must be willing to contemplate the bigger circle we can draw—not just for ourselves but for the communities and organizations we are part of.

Are you ready to draw a bigger circle for yourself?

No music. No sound. 

This is just a brief glimpse of day two of the Career Thought Leaders Consortium #CTLConf. 

I don't know about the other participants, but the closest I got to the pool and fitness area was to shoot a few seconds of video clips 😂 .

A long day of workshops and five miles of walking to and from dinner. 

Tomorrow, I'll talk with the group about executive presence and the six emergent leadership traits you need to know before interviewing for your next CxO role.

Some of this topic is covered in my recent Forbes Coaches Council article:

A great first day!

Antoinette underlined career paths as orienteering adventures requiring proactive skill development and industry trend awareness.

🔹 Jake Richings: Stressed the importance of engaging Gen Z with digital platforms for career guidance, emphasizing mentorship and visibility into diverse job opportunities. This session resonated deeply, given I have two Gen Z sons and know they face unique challenges today.

🔹 Nelson Emílio Emilio: Offered invaluable LinkedIn insights, particularly on the platform’s increasing emphasis on soft skills like adaptability. He sparked a discussion on how these changes impact job seekers' visibility to recruiters and the potential for LinkedIn to assess such skills. I'll be thinking and researching more on this topic!

🔹 Susan Chritton, PCC, CAPP, CCC: Shifted our focus from knowledge to wisdom, underscoring the human qualities that set us apart in the age of AI. Her talk encouraged reflection on how personal heritage influences one’s strengths and wisdom.
