About
In 2009 CEO and founder Kim Seeling Smith started Ignite Global after deciding that instead of being paid to put bums in seats (working as a recruiter for the 15 years prior to that) she wanted to help More

To which I, of course, reply with a resounding yes!
Right, so Iโm back after almost 6 weeks. What did I miss? Other than a new PM in Australia, more gun violence in the USโฆand the fact that, according to the OECD, Australia has the second tightest skills market in the world.
You may have noticed that I havenโt been posting much over the last 5 โ 6 weeks because Iโve been in the US speaking at the annual Association for Talent Development (ATD) conference (funnily enough about employee retention).
Iโm cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today Iโm posting 20.

There were only 30 people in attendance including 19 of the 20 participants, all 4 of the mentors and the facilitators, like me, who...
I loved this article about the things companies get wrong when writing job descriptions. I only disagree with their first point. A long job description/job ad isnโt necessarily a bad thing.

Not so much anymore. Iโve read recent stories that Ageism is still alive and well and increasing in our new COVID environment.
Iโd love your thoughts. What do you see?
If youโre over 50, what do you find? What are your plans for the future? Remain in full time work, do contract work, side hustle? Start your own business?
Thank you Sparks+Partners Consulting Engineers for inviting me to run one of my favorite workshops, โSoar with Your Strengthsโ for your end of year offsite last week. The main reason I love this workshop is that it gives you permission to stop beating yourself up about things that you arenโt good at and will never be good at by developing strategies to reach the same outcomes using strengths you do have.
