I would find people that know my industry. For instance, tech is a different flavor than blue collar. If I took advice from a career coach that's a high tech career coach, and I'm in a blue collar environment, that advice is not going to play as well. because there's just different flavors to different industries.

So you try and find somebody that's the best match to the environment that you are working in, I think. And then you make sure that that person has a lot of experience as well.

I will tell you that there is a trend that I'm seeing that I think is really valuable to understand. There's a lot of change happening right now, a lot of layoffs and a lot of people leaving companies. But those people who stay through, I call it a red zone of a company, usually have tremendous opportunities that come their way because of the people that leave and the gaps that that creates.

And even though it may be an uncomfortable period of time to try and do more with less, learning how to work through red zones of companies is really teaching you to innovate and it's teaching resilience. And that skill set is extraordinarily valuable. People who stay in companies often end up with the increases and the promotions that they want because of the vacancies that are left.

And so I would tell people, don't think that the grass is greener just by leaving a company through a red zone. A red zone can be a tremendous gift to you. particularly people who are okay with taking promotions that are lateral and they learn the ecosystem of a company, that has delayed value.

While it may seem like you're going backwards or standing still, if you're not getting big raises, if you understand the ecosystem of a company by working in different departments, over time, that makes you incredibly valuable to a company. And I'm seeing people use that as a career strategy. that ends up paying dividends, if you look at it in the long term, like a four-year horizon, is huge.

Even when they leave that company, the ability to understand the different departments and how they work together is something that's very, very valuable. So don't discount the red zone of a company and think, You know, your brain's going to tell you this is the wrong company, the wrong time. It's terrible. It feels uncomfortable. But discomfort doesn't mean you're in the wrong company.
