😃 Coach drinks! It's been such a pleasure to have built a group of 40+ uniquely talented leadership & career transition coaches over the past 9 months.

So it was wonderful to witness all the new connections being made and interesting conversations being had. Thanks to everyone who is partnering with me and OnUpBeyond to help professionals discover & experience the extraordinary benefits of really brilliant coaching. 👉 Coaching is hard to navigate - how do you find someone with: - the right career experience, - fantastic track record, - personal "click" and - fair pricing?

Anyone else love the contrast of London's old & new architecture? Surprising insights from a series of very different client meetings yesterday: ps. endless sunshine helps London's appearance a lot of course (sorry, I'm a Brit, so weather is 50% of conversation). The weather has been phenomenal recently, hasn't it?! 😎 >> I was in a series of very different but equally interesting client meetings yesterday: - Private Equity (tier 1 global fund) - Investment bank - Series C start-up - Boutique consultancy! 💰 All clients asked about compensation. Yes I can share very accurate benchmarks. But in my experience, great compensation doesn't matter if the wider employer value proposition isn't right and isn't well articulated. So we actually discussed: - Progression paths - Evidencing impact - Work-life balance / control - 3 year company goals - Culture - Learning & development - Compensation progression over 5 years >> Attracting the best / right people, isn't just about the 💰. Actually in my 15 years experience building a community of ambitious, talented professionals, rarely is money the primary motivating factor 👍 - - - What are your thoughts / feelings / experiences on motivations?

Digital detox. Annual leave. Do you totally down tools? Or stay in touch? What do you find most relaxing? In my experience: Context: I'm on leave next week (just as the weather turns wet - typical)! So this topic is front of mind as I try to conquer the to-do list by Friday (no chance!) When on leave.... - Some people actually relax more knowing their inbox isn't piling up. - Others can't relax unless they totally detach. - Others still go for a hybrid & don't check emails but ask team members to WhatsApp them when really needed. 🤔 What's your approach & what tips can you share?

⚖️ Work-life balance is the no1 reason people mention for leaving consulting. So I thought it'd help to ask this question 👇. Also: We help a lot of "boutique" consulting firms hire. And place 100s of independent consultants into projects. There are massive differences vs the very large firms. Interestingly, our data shows that smaller consulting firms and freelance consultants actually report better than average work-life balance (when compared to all "post large consulting firm" career paths). Particularly when it comes to controlling their hours to fit in around commitments outside work. Q: What's your experience been? I'm interested in your observations in the comments 👍

🎉 Exciting plans for the next month. [1] Tomorrow, I turn 4️⃣ 0️⃣ (my wife & I are off to Alton Towers (theme park) to escape the kids & pretend we're 14; [2] I'm reinventing my career coaching. Why? - 200+ people joined my program in Q1. - I LOVED doing it. - You gave me amazing reviews (thank you). - You valued the tactical advice routed in experience - answers not questions. - You still send me your wonderful updates about new directions, successful career moves etc. BUT... - A massive waitlist built up. - Every day I receive LinkedIn messages asking for my advice. - There's only so many hours in the day - a natural limit to how many programs I can run & how many people I can speak to 1-1. SO... - I'm making my advice / systems / tactics / guidance more accessible. - Same 5* program; but no limits on access & no waitlists 😁 . Excited to start building on Thursday. But first 🎂 & 🎢 ! - - - ps. follow Richard & click the 🔔 on my profile for July's announcement about the relaunch pps. photo of me pondering life in my 40s. 👉 Any tips?

🥳 Work with me? I'm looking for someone to join the team! Grateful of you sharing this with the fantastic people in your network - like/comment/repost 👍 Details as follows: Those of you who know me and our businesses well, know that Nick and I do things differently. So if you / your network want to work somewhere not-run-of-the-mill, read on! We started in "people-tech" (not sure that's a thing, it probably should be) because we found recruiter cold calls frustrating. We've built a tech-enabled ecosystem centred on "the candidate" not "the recruiter". We do strange things like free events, free insights, free career coaching (people always start sceptical and ask when we're going to sting them with an invoice - we don't). An outcome of all this is we've built 4 talent solutions that clients tell us are absolutely best in class. We've founded 3 businesses and exited 1 along the way. Our Board Chair was Global CEO of one of the world's largest people advisory businesses (he reached out to us after hearing great things). We have a FAB team. We value life outside work (I did an ultramarathon in 27C on Sunday and Monday was a write off - but that's a different story!) We convene our entire global team (we have businesses in the US, India, APAC, UK and Europe) every year somewhere awesome - the photo is from a team dinner in Spain 🇪🇸 . 👉 TL;DR (apparently that's what all the cool kids say for "get to the point" nowadays). We're looking for someone to lead our marketing. Think: > a company rapidly gaining market share in the senior / exec hiring market (yes, technology now matters a lot in this too and we've been building it for 15 years) > ground breaking content (our data is not available anywhere else); > massive reach (websites, organic social); > power users who become wonderful clients (people use our platform to keep in touch with the jobs market, so naturally they call us when they need to build a team or bring in consulting expertise); > scope to do stuff recruiters never ever would (hey, because if you can't make a fee from it, why would you do it?! 😡 ) 😃😃😃 Sound like you or someone you know? Link here for applications: https://lnkd.in/eiwmva5c ps. thanks again for sharing this. Hopefully we can welcome someone you're connected with into their new home (well, work home anyway).
