Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing expert tip that you might have missed.

The fear of failure can hold us back from starting so many of the projects we're dreaming of. According to the queen of career pivots, Keltie Knight, the key to overcoming that fear is diversifying what you work on, launching before you invest too much, and pivoting quickly from rejection. So today we're throwing it back to our favourite advice from Keltie for budding entrepreneurs and hustlers.

Keltie is a three-time Emmy Award winning television personality, podcaster, A New York Times bestselling author, and former professional dancer. She pivoted from dance into television as a host, working on Entertainment Tonight and E! News, and covering huge events like The Grammys Red Carpet. She’s the co-host and creator of one of the top 100 podcasts in the world, The LADYGANG podcast, which she transformed into a TV show and a bestselling book, Act Like A Lady. And she’s the creator, executive producer, and host of the CBS primetime show, Superfan.

Are you stuck in a job that drains your energy and leaves you wanting something more? Ready to put in your notice and run off to finally start doing that thing you love? 

It's time to break free and start actively pursuing a career that aligns with your true passions. BUT, it's not going to happen in the way you think.

The way out of a job you hate is not pining for a better life, or dreaming of the brighter future on the other side. It's to start creating the fun right where you already are. (Yes, right here in that job you hate.)

In this episode, I share how having fun today – in that environment that's making you miserable – is your golden ticket straight out of that sh*thole. I speak from experience as someone who did this, and as someone who coaches people to do it, too. 

Following your fun is the true way to discover your passions, gifts, and the most fulfilling way to contribute, and doing it in an place where it's challenging to do so? Well, that's a fun challenge, isn't it?  

Still doubting me on this? Believe me, I get it. I doubted it, too. But it works. And you can certainly keep trying to pine your way out of that job or career that's not lighting your soul on fire... or you can grab your lab coat and become a scientist who starts treating life less seriously and more like an experiment. 

If you're tired of the 9-to-5 grind and ready to embrace a career that lights up your soul, don't miss this episode. Whether you're seeking a major career change or simply looking for ways to infuse more passion into your current job, this episode is a must-listen for anyone on the journey to professional and personal fulfillment. Tune in and learn how to take that first step towards a future that truly excites you.

After listening to this episode, ask yourself: What could be fun for me right now? What might I enjoy?

Listen to this episode to hear:

• Why having fun today in your job is your ticket out of it
• Why following your genuine curiosity and being 
• The process to help you find a career you're passionate about, even if you don't yet know what you want.

Today's breath: The Art of Noticing

This is a Thursday Thread where I pulled a thread from Rob Walker's episode on Tuesday to help you untether a little bit more. The little activities in Rob Walker's book The Art of Noticing can help you see things that are lighting you up in the present moment.

Get your resume reviewed, prepare for an interview, get suited up, and so much more with TXST's Career Services. Located in the LBJ Student Center, the Career Services office has everything you need to start your journey in the workforce. Giselle chats with Ray and Adrianna, members of the Career Services office, to learn about all they have to offer and how both students and alums can take advantage of it. 

[Content Warning: I swear in this episode].  Today's episode is a little different to the last - I had my first major 'technical difficulty' where half of an episode I recorded with one of my guest speaker's dropped out - so I decided to jump on the mic solo.

In this episode I talk more about the assessments I use throughout my work with clients, and why I LOVE these approaches so much.  

Here are the promised resources mentioned throughout my episode:

• Patrick Lencioni & The Table Group
• The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni
• Book Your Spot at my next Return to Work Preparation Workshop (PS this one is VIRTUAL)

To create the career you’ll love and reach career success faster, reverse engineer your career.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about what you need to be successful in your career it’s probably because you don’t really know which path you want your career to follow, and you’re unclear of how far you want to take your career.

Here are the six steps to develop a strategy for your future career success - listen to the full episode for details on how to implement these steps:

1. Get clear on what you really want

2. Conduct your research – find your dream job/s online

3. Analyse the job descriptions

4. Conduct a gap analysis

5. Come up with a strategy to overcome the gaps

6. Find a mentor or career coach

Reverse engineering your career does not have to be difficult.  You certainly don’t need an engineering degree to reverse engineer your career!

Take time to define your career aspirations, conduct research and analysis and be honest about where the gaps are.  To hasten your career progression in the direction you desire, overcome those gaps and you will be in a strong position to progress step-by-step in the right direction.
