“I will make this happen”

Occasionally, I’ll be talking to a job seeker over Zoom, and I’ll come to a fierce realization: that the person I’m speaking to has the same wild, fearless, break-every-single-rule mentality that is the absolute cornerstone of my being.

When I find people like that, everything changes. I become bolder in my coaching. We push boundaries in our session. And by the end of the call, the job seeker has a roadmap created with an aggressive timeline. They tell me, “Gabby, I will make this happen,” and then off they go.

A handful of weeks go by, and I get an email. It’s the job seeker - only now they’re an employee at the company of their dreams.

I personally don’t believe that anyone needs a specific personality in order to succeed in their career goals. But there’s something about leaning into a bit of recklessness - a bit of daring in one’s approach to the job search - that leads to the most astounding results.

I want to spend time exploring this more in the next email.
