I’m cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today I’m posting 20.
Last night I attended Consult Australia‘s 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 led trainings over the last 6 months. But the event was live-streamed and had many more watching from their devices at home.
These 20 emerging leaders were divided into 4 groups, based on their Strengths Profiles, and entered into a competition to revitalise the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens, damaged after the bush fires.
I honestly don’t know how the judges decided. All 4 designs were outstanding, IMHO, and the presentations were polished and professional.
This group has only met face to face once before – their kickoff night in early March before lockdown.
Their site visit was cancelled so they never actually got to see the property.

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
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 isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve helped clients write very lengthy but VERY compelling job descriptions that vividly describes the company culture and values, outlines what the prospective candidate can achieve in the role and what they need to bring to the table (innate abilities and strengths) to be successful.

Talking reimagining talent acquisition with Nate Hewitt of Sapia.ai on their Pink Squirrels Podcast.
We had a very spirited discussion around:
What companies are getting wrong with talent acquisition right now
How companies stand out against their talent competitors (even with little or no budget)
How to think differently about the roles they are filling to access more candidates.

If you think #thegreatresignation is related to Covid or the current skills shortage, think again. 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. While this is a US stat, I believe the trend is definitely global.
I’ve often said that Covid accelerated other workforce trends that had been building for years. I think what we see with this graph is the result of...
Did you know that 65% of candidates who turn down jobs or decline to go through the entire interview process do so because of poor candidate experience, according to LinkedIn? And that only 25% of candidates are satisfied with candidate experience according to Sapia.ai?
Candidate experience is key. But what is candidate experience exactly?
My definition is an experience where every interaction leaves the candidate feeling good about:
✅ Themselves (first and foremost – even if they don’t get the job)
✅ The process itself (again, even if they don’t get the job)
✅ The company/brand (turn all candidates (successful or not) into raving fans
Thank you Sparks+Partners Consulting Engineers for inviting me to run one of my favorite workshops, “Soar with Your Strengths” 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 aren’t good at and will never be good at by developing strategies to reach the same outcomes using strengths you do have.
