2019-12-171h 01Clarity on FireBlog: The WORST thing you can do if you're looking for a jobI'll admit, a lot of what motivates me in my writing and coaching can be boiled down to something I'd call "professional outrage." I know I'm supposed to be non-judgy and infinitely patient. And I am with my clients because they're cool people and they deserve that from me, always. But there are some things that I straight up loathe. (As in, when I come across them, my eyes narrow and my nostrils flame and I acquire a Draco-Malfoy-worthy sneer.) And while there are many things I could hate on, for now I'm going to...

2019-08-0136 minClarity on FireHow to negotiate anything (even if you're a people pleaser) with Devon SmileyIf you're a compassionate, sensitive, people-pleasing-type person who hates rocking the boat, then the very idea of negotiation is probably nausea-inducing at best, and horrifically impossible at worst. (And even for those of us with thick skin, it's still awkward as hell!). A lot of us think, "What's the point of asking for what I really want if I have to be someone I'm not—pushy, aggressive, selfish, demanding—in order to get it?" Well, that's why we asked Devon Smiley to come on the podcast. She's a Negotiation Consultant (yes, that's a real job!) with...

So, have you heard about the 36 questions that lead to love? They're based on a psychological study that explored whether or not intimacy could be accelerated by having strangers ask a set of personal, sometimes probing questions.

In my first three years of working post-college, I had three jobs and quit them all. And Kristen quit her very first job after 5 weeks (though they deserved it for having a series of meetings about whether or not to start a LinkedIn page for the company. I mean, come on now). Maybe it's our mutual rebellious attitudes, but we've both been pretty YOLO about quitting (which has likely done nothing to help correct the notion that Millennials are entitled and disloyal, but that's a matter...
