People in Transition
68. Donna Star - Executive Coach, Business Consultant, Writer
Donna Star spent 30 incredible years in Corporate America, and then she took the leap to entrepreneurship. She is now an Executive Coach, Business Consultant, and Writer who leverages her extensive experience to help companies and individuals maximize their potential.
Currently, her work centers around working with professionals who are dealing with work transitions - promotions, job changes, corporate politics, and everything that comes with managing a career and a life.
The transformations she has seen with her clients are powerful and humbling. Donna shared with us some of the points she discusses with her clients including:
· Always remember, if someone would ask you for help in their networking, you would support them, don’t think you cannot ask others for their help.
· Bringing your negative thoughts and attitude into an interview does not help you, you need to deal with these emotions, or your job search will be more challenging.
· We discussed the ‘great resignation’ which for many has evolved into the ‘great regret’ and what that means for job seekers.
· Remember, it is ok to acknowledge you have feelings during your job search process.
· Sometimes you may need to step away from your job search to regroup and energize yourself.
Donna is thoughtful, action packed and willing to share what she has learned – sometimes the hard way. I think you will want to listen to this episode a couple of times to get all the nuggets she shares – oh and share this with a friend – they will thank you for it.
