Are you an ambitious and goal-getting woman who feels stagnant in your career growth? 

Are you working harder, doing more, saying yes to more stuff hoping it will lead to more opportunity?

Is it working? It is probably just leaving you more burnt out, and feeling frustrated and under appreciated.

The truth is, until you face the root problem, the job/career fit, you will always be dealing with the symptoms.

I can help you identify what your next career move needs to be in order to feel more aligned with your career life and go after the position you want with confidence and serve in the most ambitious way you want to.

In my feed you will find content on career development, networking (specifically how to make it not suck), personal development, and some life stuff thrown in 😁

I was sure I wouldn't live to see this day. 

Today, I begin my 50th trip around the sun. I’m officially one year older than my Mom was when she passed away.

At 20 years old (less than 2 months before my 21st birthday) when my Mom and best friend died, I thought, "how will I live without her?" 

It's hard to believe it's been 30 years. 

As I look back now, I realize that I did what Mom did when she had no other choice. 💪

“She needed a hero, so that’s what she became.” —Anonymous 

On my birthday 🎂, I sit in gratitude for Mom teaching me how to be my own hero. 

What does that mean? I show up for myself. I stay true to my values. I am uncompromisingly authentic. 💫

It's a skill that brought me through incredibly difficult times. 

It's a skill we all need. 

Be your own hero when life demands it. 

If you're reading this and wondering when someone is coming to save you, I'm here to tell you that "someone" is YOU. But here's the beautiful thing.... you DON'T have to do it alone. 🤝

Take the first step: acknowledge you need support. 🚶‍♂️

Then, take the second one: ask for help. 🗣️

Call your loved ones, contact an employee assistance program, or reach out to local support resources. 📞

I guarantee you there is a community of people navigating challenges similar to your own. 

Swallow your pride, push past fear, and seek them out. 

My gift to all who read this today is HOPE. 🎁

Though you may have moments when you see only darkness, I'm proof that there IS light on the other side and you CAN reach it. I have no doubt you will. ✨

Use HOPE to dream, persevere, and move with optimism in the promise of not just the future, but the GIFT of today, the PRESENT. 🌈

Maryann Lombardi

Your job title is 𝗡𝗢𝗧 the answer to the question “So, what do you do?”
You need a 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Your power statement tells people 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 + 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

It is your quick and 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 answer to the dreaded, annoying, and unfortunately necessary "So, what do you do?" question.

Drop it at all of your networking calls/events to improve your conversations and develop better, more memorable connections.

Create your one-sentence power statement based on the following formula:
"𝙄 𝙖𝙢, __ 𝙄 𝙙𝙤 ____, 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙛 ___, 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 __ [𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩.]"
Examples ⤵

Example 1️⃣:
Donna is a professor looking to transition out of academia into an opportunity to leverage her existing skills in teaching and training. She is a learning and development expert. She can put together a L&D plan for any subject and shape it to the needs of the learner she is working with ease and creativity.

"𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝘿𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖, 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩. 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙚𝙨 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙪𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚."

This is better than Donna saying, "I'm a teacher." It helps people better understand her impact.


Example 2️⃣:
Mary is looking for a team leader role in a corporate environment. She has spent a decade managing hundreds of people, events, and volunteers. She has an eye for detail, loves data, is mission-oriented, and is a team player.
Mary used to say, "I'm a team leader at XYZ company." And instead, now says;

"𝙄'𝙢 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙮. 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙭 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙨, 𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧."

What is your power statement?

#careerdevelopment #personaldevelopment

Why are you looking for a new job?

Based on the conversations I have had over the past couple months the three common complaints have been:

Work-life balance is always #1. They are tired of excessive work demands, inflexible schedules, or lack of support for family responsibilities.

Wanting a flexible work model comes in second. They are looking for remote work or hybrid work allowing them to better manage their personal and professional responsibilities.

Don’t feel valued and want roles that offer better prospects for promotion, skill development, and leadership opportunities.

How about you?

What are your reasons for seeking a new career opportunity?

A big part of my reason was flexibility. So I could work how I wanted, when I wanted, and go to the sauna in the middle of the day if the spirit moved me 😉
#jobsearch #jobhunt #jobmarket

Stop reading the job news!

Whether the market is expanding or contracting, hiring is slowing down or speeding up. doesn’t really matter. It won’t help you get a job. All it does is stress you out.

Focus on your pitch; how you talk about the impact you have had in the companies you have worked for, or projects you have worked on.

👉🏼 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀
Your time #networking is best spent reconnecting with people you already know, instead people you don’t know.

👉🏼 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 (or the industry you want to move into)
Reading the job projections won’t help you, but knowing the challenges your industry is facing will.

After speaking with hundreds of women about navigating a career change, the statement I hear time and again is, I don’t know where to start.
I get it, it can feel overwhelming!

𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦-𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴-𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴-𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺𝘵𝘰𝘫𝘰𝘣𝘴-𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘨𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨<-𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘵𝘰𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦-𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺-𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯𝘪𝘵-𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘯-𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵-𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘧-𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘮𝘺𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩-𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘺-𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵
