Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E27: Your Year In Review!It's that time of year again! And no, we're not talking about Peppermint Mocha season or (our favorite!) more Pumpkin Spice! It's time for your 2021 Year in Review! Most tech professionals only think about the business stuff when they think about the previous 12 months and looking ahead to the next calendar year. Engaged Pursuit founder Tom Perry ADDS to that framework with additional (easy!) stuff to ensure you're thinking about your entire self in this important exercise. Tom will also highlight his insights for 2021 using the framework so you can get to...2021-11-1111 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E26: October '21 Jobs Report + What I'm Seeing Out ThereIt's the first Friday of the month, and you know what that means ... Jobs Report! The October 2021 data was released and to sum-up the results in one word: Progress. Strong number of jobs added to the US economy last month & August + September numbers were modified upward. The unemployment rate decreased as well. But there's still work to be done - the economy still has 4M+ jobs to fill to compare to where we were in February 2020. In this special edition of the Engaged Pursuit podcast, founder Tom Perry highlights the specifics...2021-11-0510 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E 25: New Year, New Role, New You??2021 is quickly coming to a close. Q4 results are coming in. Performance Reviews are (probably) coming up. A time for reflection around what you've accomplished and what the new year might bring. For many clients, it's also a time to be thinking about something new. Especially if it's been a rough year and you're feeling "stuck" the last couple months of the calendar year can bring thoughts of exploration, change, and excitement. But looking for something new goes beyond updating your resume or getting your Linked-In in order. There's much more "art" in this...2021-10-2712 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E24: Your Performance Review - Ready to Rock?For most tech organizations, the performance review happens in early Spring. Even though this timeline is usually set-in-stone, employees are often surprised by how quickly important dates (and deliverables) creep-up. The Fall is a great time to check-in on how you're doing and be more proactive about the crucial parts of the performance process. It's more than just knowing what you did and the impact that you had on the bottom-line. Often, there's a ton of thought, discussion, and presentation of your work to important stakeholders. Stuff you don't want to wait...2021-10-2111 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E23: Sanity Check-In! Q4 Favorites to Keep You SmilingWe're hearing it a lot from clients - this time of year sucks! Whether you're looking for something new, getting ready to close the 4th quarter or starting the process of your 2021 Performance Review (more on this next week...), there's a lot going on! We could all use a sanity check right about now ... and (more importantly) some stuff to take our minds off things ... in this latest episode, Engaged Pursuit founder Tom Perry highlights his favorite books, podcasts, articles, streaming content, and meditations to keep you smiling (and a little less stressed) moving into...2021-10-1406 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E22: Building (Successful) Stakeholder PartnershipsStakeholders play a super important part of the tech professional experience. Especially if you're in a larger, global organization, these folks can make-or-break your projects, initiatives, and (most importantly) your performance review. These are individuals who you don't work directly for, but play a role in your world - think team leaders, important partners, etc. Partnering with these folks can sometimes be weird - you don't have a formal professional relationship, but you still have to show-up well consistently. A lot harder to do - especially in complex, global organizations. Founder Tom Perry...2021-10-0811 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E21: Unity in the Workplace - Creating Solid Co-Worker PartnershipsTons of tech organizations identify three ingredients to a successful professional experience: 1. Have impact 2. Have a Career Plan (easier said than done for the majority of folks) and 3. Have a good relationship with your boss. But what about those co-workers who you're working with day-in-and-day-out? Those individuals, in our experience, can make-or-break unity and/or engagement in the organization. Today, founder Tom Perry talks about his Top 6 ways to ensure these crucial relationships start (and stay!) on track ... even when disagreements in style (or personality) come-up. You won't want to miss this...2021-09-2908 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E20: The (Critical) Manager Relationship...Relationships are key to the Professional Experience . Especially in tech, where the environment is intense, performance metrics are high, and options for future success (or failure) can shift from one day to the next. The most important relationship is that between the employee and the (direct) manager. Whether you're early in your career or reporting directly to the CEO, this partnership can make-or-break your career. Not to be too dramatic - it's true! And, unfortunately, this is a relationship that most professionals don't think about enough. They assume good intent, they let the manager...2021-09-2311 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E19: Getting (& Staying!) OrganizedYou've heard of Spring Cleaning ... what about Fall Organization?? Could we make that a new thing for tech professionals? It's funny - tech folks are either HIGHLY organized (filed every email from 2004) or INCREDIBLY unorganized (can't find any emails from 2021). The solution is probably somewhere in between ... But how do you stay mentally organized to ensure professional success and engagement? There's lots of ways to optimize your inbox or create a folder system, but how do you ensure you're showing-up and staying organized as a HUMAN each day? Glad you asked... 2021-09-1609 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E18: Your Fall Mindset: Getting Back in the GameSeptember ... Ugh! It's the month EVERYONE is back in the (virtual) office. Summer breaks are over. Kids are headed back to school. Third quarter results are close. The Fourth Quarter is right around the corner. The theme for the month: T - U - R - B - O. Staying engaged professionally is tough during this time of year. Especially in 2021. Having a check-list of the realities of this month, what to do to prepare for the ups-and-downs, and how to think about the future is crucial to success this...2021-09-0811 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E 17: Back to the Office??It seems like everyone is asking the same question - when are tech employees headed back to the office?? Some companies have already started the process (10% here, 15% there...), and most are giving employees a "Fall 2021" return date (fingers crossed). Most professionals are both nervous and excited about a potential return to a formal office environment. Excited to see everyone, but nervous about falling into the same routine and/or showing-up in the same way... Engaged Pursuit founder Tom Perry highlights his take on this huge opportunity. Being away for the past 16+ months...2021-07-2215 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E16: Graduation's Here! Nailing the First 90 Days in Your New JobThe first few months in a new job are crucial - whether you're a recent grad and starting in your first gig, or a long-time professional who's transitioning into a new organization. Folks often don't think (enough) about how to nail these first 60 and/or 90 days. My learnings: The relationships you build in those first few months are crucial to long-term success. Engaged Pursuit founder Tom Perry highlights his thinking on the most important things to do and the most important communities to consider during your first couple months on the job.

Setting Yourself Apart Throughout The Interview ProcessOf course, you're preparing for al the tough interview questions that might come your way as you get ready for your Zoom or Teams experience. All your results, all your impact ... but what about the HUMAN on the other side of that question? How should you think about preparing for the potential focus areas and (more importantly) the connection that you have to make in order for the person (or persons) to say "yes" to a hiring decision?? In this third episode on our series of important Communities, Engaged Pursuit founder Tom Perry will discuss his...2021-06-2418 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E13: Graduation's Here! - Setting Yourself Up For SuccessAhhhhh graduation season! Finals week is over, hats are decorated, socially-distanced audience tickets are ordered and the real-world awaits ... gulp! I remember my graduation month being filled with both excitement and fear. Lots of relief that college was completed, and lots of fear that I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WANTED TO DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. Sound familiar?? I got a ton of advice around updating my resume and getting my networking skills polished. But nothing existed (and frankly still doesn't exist) to help the HUMAN-side of the...2021-05-2119 min

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story.

Engaged Pursuit (Podcast): Your Story. Your Career.S2 E1: Change is Coming (in 2021) ... Are You Ready??We've all been waiting for it ... big change in 2021. From the way we work, to how we talk to customers, to the methods of leading teams, to getting the heck off Zoom (sorry, Zoom...) we know these next 12 months are going to be BIG. Organizations talk a lot about change (commonly referred to as "change management"), but we'd argue that the everyday employee doesn't really know how to manage lots of change (let alone thrive in it). Often, professionals are flat-footed during times of change and/or miss-out on opportunities for impact because they are not...2021-01-0620 min
