    Ep 121 Design Thinking: The U.S. Army can teach you a lot about Design Thinking

    The past six months have been a fascinating exploration into a new perspective on Design Thinking. I never thought I get it from the US Army as I learned about how they teach and use the Army Design Methodology. In this episode, we will go over the basics of the US Army Design Methodology, look at how it is different and I would even say better than Design Thinking, and highlight some things they do differently that can make a huge difference in your team or company.

    Ep 120 Career: Don't apply for your next job (and what to do instead)

    Ep 120 Career: Don't apply for your next job (and what to do instead)

    Most people would probably be shocked to learn that applying for your next job is only going to work 5% of the time, but when you look at the numbers, this is only the tip of the iceberg. We are all engaged in a process that doesn't work for us and honestly doesn't work for the companies looking for new talent. We need a new approach, and I've had some recent experiences that I think might be able to help. In this episode, we will explore some of the 2022 job data that will show you why you shouldn't apply for your next job, discuss a new approach to your job hunt, and go over my playbook for how you can make it work for you.
