Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Best of Career Lunch Break: Standing Out & Personal Brand
Q: You just said video. Tell me about video.
Video is a powerful, time-efficient way to demonstrate alignment with a role; it should be concise (about a minute or two), address the job's key requirements, and show how the candidate's experience translates into value for the team, which helps cut through the noise of hundreds of applicants.
Tough Decisions, Freelance Freedom & Creating a Life You Love with Abbey Vogt
Q: How did you approach standing out when you started freelancing and pitching to potential clients?
I researched target companies, created personalized samples matching their branding, used a color-picker tool to grab hex codes, and demonstrated a tangible result to show I could handle their needs; referrals then followed and bookings increased.
Tough Decisions, Freelance Freedom & Creating a Life You Love with Abbey Vogt
Q: Tell me about the moment you decided to leave teaching and how you approached the pivot.
I leaned into a slow burn rather than a single epiphany, realized I couldn't do teaching long-term, and chose to explore options like tutoring before actively pursuing a role in the online business/VA space; I focused on what would give me flexibility and a sustainable path.
Farm Life, Career Pivots & The Story Behind the Coach with Erin Lewber
Q: What advice would you give about pursuing a pivot when you feel it's late or risky?
There is no fixed timetable for career change; life's cycles and responsibilities can be navigated with strategic support, and having an ally to weather the highs and lows makes the process sustainable and effective.
Farm Life, Career Pivots & The Story Behind the Coach with Erin Lewber
Q: How do you help clients overcome the stereotype of sales and the resistance to pivot?
We start by uncovering assumptions with a deep why, reframing what sales means for them, and aligning the work with their desired life and personal strengths rather than clinging to a preconceived notion of what 'sales' should look like.
