👋🏼 Hey Reader, This week is a short week masquerading as a long week. It always happens that way. Where we're expecting ourselves to do 100% of the work in 80% of the time. So, it’s time to adjust what 100% looks like and that starts with setting expectations - for me and others around me. And in a short week, that means I kick up the prioritization a notch. I’m still committed to bringing you some small bits of great information in the world of work that I believe helps you redefine how you're working at work. That’s the whole point of the Career Catalyst…to catalyze. Here are 2 places I appeared out in the world this week which I can't quite believe. Here is a short article that hit the press this week. It’s about looking after your own career while in a service-focused industry. Often we put others first so, in this CareerWise Weekly article, I look at how career development professionals can start to look after themselves in their own career development. (and just some really great tips for all of us, regardless of industry!) And if you want to learn a little bit more about me and how I got this gig, check out the conversation I had with David Driver of the Manitoba Association for Career Development in his podcast Career Conversations. Episode 34 is all about me, my coaching philosophy and how I got into podcasting. Alright! That’s it. Short and sweet and full of promise. If there is a topic you’d like me to speak or chat more about, just reply to this email and let me know. I would love to hear from you. Hope your day brings you more joy than expected. |

Your Career Catalyst March Edition 6 MIN READ MENOMENTUM WEBSITE PODCAST YOUTUBE BLOG Hey Reader, Wow... Brain fog is real. Lately, my attention to detail and I haven’t exactly been on the same page. In fact, I’m pretty sure it packed up and left the bookstore entirely. Brain fog is one of the most common—and my most frustrating—symptoms of both perimenopause and burnout. It can feel like your brain is jumping from one unfinished task to the next, spinning its wheels while you race through...
Hey Reader, I’m having one of those weeks where I walk into a room and can’t remember why I’m there. Partly because I’ve done some renovations and things are a bit chaotic—but also because life just feels that way sometimes. And there is a lot going on right now. When something shifts or changes, it can throw us off balance, making uncertainty grow. Maybe you’re feeling that in your life, your energy, your mindset, or your career. I’ve been there, and I know how frustrating it can be to feel...
