There's a simple yet subtle difference between those who feel stuck and those who seemingly always have countless opportunities. And it may surprise you.

Do you know someone that often says things like this:

​→ Nothing ever seems to go my way.
→ I've been ghosted or rejected by every company I've applied to.
→ Why don't I ever get the recognition or raise?

And here’s the secret. "The surface area of luck" means that luck isn't just chance. So what are the lucky ones doing differently?

They're always looking for the next step and their next opportunity to learn. By staying curious and trying new things, they make good things more likely to happen. They’re out there—sharing their ideas, talking about their goals, and connecting with others. Proactively. Authentically. And certainly not only transactionally.

So, try something new, spark conversations, and make yourself visible. Let opportunities find you because you’re ready to catch them.

You’ve got this!

đź’ˇ Top finds of the week

  • 🍿 Watch this: In this 2 minute clip, Simon Sinek explains that our brains struggle with negatives, focusing on what to 'avoid' often leads us right to it. Instead, zero in on the positive actions you want to take. This shift helps you stay on track and overcome challenges with clarity.

  • đź’ˇ See this: This image is a great reminder for us all. There will be days where you find yourself feeling like you can't catch a break, that is to say, a sense of 'why bother'. Here's the thing. It’s those daily, incremental steps that truly build momentum and get us closer to our goals. As Simon Sinek above would say, focus on the path (aka. trying one small thing every day).

🎉 Client case study of the week

The Context: My ​Career Success Fast Track™​ client has been working towards her next-level promotion at her company. Prior to working together, she was focused primarily on doing great work, driving impactful results and being an amazing team player. The issue was that the relationships with her senior leaders (and key decision makers in her progression) were lacking.
​
​The Success: She completed half of her internal tour to get the buy-in from the senior leaders who hold significant weight on her promotion decision. She has already received their full support which is key in securing her promotion this year and has another 7 on the way!
​
​The Strategy: We outlined the key influencers in her company where she felt she was lacking a 1:1 relationship. We put together the exact scripts and flow she would follow with each one in having a private conversation about her growth goals in the company. She went in equipped with clear messages and the right questions to ask that allowed for their complete support coming out of each conversation. This is what taking control of your career looks like. You don't wait for things to happen. You make them happen. 💪
