The past nine months has created a lot of job movement for people who I have worked with over the past decade. And it’s not just “the next step up” kind of movement…
It’s a massive leap of movement for the majority of the people who have reached out to update me.
Like… Double the salary, step up into an exec level role/management role for the most part. Life-changing money. Life-changing responsibilities.
And while only one of those people asked me for a reference (a woman whom I worked with a decade ago), ALL of them reached out to tell me right away once they had been made an offer.
This week it happened again…

This one in particular I am ecstatic about… This person literally was offered their dream job. And while I won’t go into anything specific about their role or the company that it is for… I had to write about it.
Because clearly – to brag for a moment – I have great mojo for people who work on my teams.
I’m not saying that I am responsible for these people getting these opportunities… I’m just saying a common factor has been me having managed/lead them.
I’m grateful I got to play a part in their journey. Recent or old.
I create spaces for people to thrive. And if you look at my track record with P&Ls over the past decade and a half… I make businesses thrive too, in the areas I manage.
Not-so-humble brag.
I’m just grateful the people who have worked on my teams get it and feel it.
