Inspiring self-awareness and self-growth are a BIG part of what we do here at Careers by Jenn and so my hope is that this exercise of 25 questions meant for your year-end reflection will give you a frame-work to do some of that personal development work in the next week or so, so that you can ring in the New Year completely ready to start fresh!

Join me and my guest, Tony Dottino, as we discuss how being aware of your emotional intelligence and how it affects you in the workplace will improve your career and your life!

It’s holiday time and whether you celebrate or not, the mayhem and busy is hard to avoid. In this episode, Jenn shares with you 17 Stress-reducing holiday hacks to help calm your season and allow you to actually enjoy the process and the celebrations.

Have you felt appreciated lately?

In this episode, I take a look at all the amazing benefits both employees and employers receive when there is a culture of appreciation in the workplace.

There is actually a biological reason that appreciation and gratitude are good for you too!

I share the benefits and how to increase the culture of appreciation both as an employee and an employer. I hope you tune in.

The dictionary says this: a team player is a person who plays or works well as a member of a team or group.

Sounds straightforward…but no one is going to ace all of the traits and qualities that make up the perfect team player. We ALL have areas we can improve upon.

Every one of us could do some work if we wanted to.

If you are needing to answer the questions: “What are your weaknesses?” or “What would you like to improve upon?”, then I would guess there would be an area or two in what I am about to share with you in this episode that you could use about how to be a GREAT team player.

Almost every job interview includes the question: What are your strengths and weaknesses?” In this episode of the NEWLY re-branded podcast (formerly the Communication Diva podcast) Careers by Jenn, I take a look first at how you can do a self-assessment of your strengths, in order to generate a list to work with. I also invite you to invite others into your research, and offer ways you can do that that are both free and paid. With good questions and with fresh perspectives, you should be able to create a fairly good-sized list by the time you get through all the questions, and from that list, generate your SIGNATURE strengths, to help you stand out above the crowd.
