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

This graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics clearly shows that, with the exception of 2020, people have been changing jobs in increasing numbers since 2009.

To which I, of course, reply with a resounding yes!
Iโm cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today Iโm posting 20.
Last night I attended Consult Australiaโs FutureNet awards night for NSW (magnificently convened by Linda Gaunt). It was a COVID-safe event held in the Grand Ballroom of the ICC in Sydney. There were only 30 people in attendance including 19 of the 20 participants, all 4 of the mentors and the facilitators, like me, who...
