A lot has changed for me in the past 15 years…

- I moved 10 times across 4 states
- I held 13 jobs (a combo of permanent, temp, full-time, part-time, and internship)
- I earned a master’s degree (and dropped out of 2)
- I completed 5 professional certificates
- I became a certified strengths coach
- I bought a car
- I got married
- I bought a house
- I birthed 2 children

Through all that, one of the constants in my life has been my precious career coaching business Launched by Linda, LLC. I always feel an immense sense of gratitude and honor every time a client hires me to walk with them on their career journey, often at their most vulnerable.

So to celebrate 15 years of doing what I love through Launched by Linda, I’m doing a special one-of-a-kind deal!

When prospective clients ask what they'll get out of career coaching with me, it can be hard to summarize all the unique takeaways they may get. Good thing I've been keeping track of actual clients' responses for 6 years!

I put all the data from hundreds of client sessions into ChatGPT and asked it to summarize the main topics. I was amazed by the concisely organized list it came up with and just made a few tweaks before publishing it in my blog. What would've taken me many hours to do manually took only a few seconds!

Curious about working with me? Here's what you'll get :)

So your boss caught you looking for another job. Awkward...

This is a great article compiling practical advice about how to handle this kind of potentially nerve-wracking scenario. Happy I got to contribute!

First, sincerely apologize for being off-task and looking for another job on company time because they are paying you to work for them, not against them. But then square your shoulders back and ask if you could take this opportunity to discuss improving your job satisfaction and productivity.

Suppose your employer values your work and wants to keep you. In that case, they will be curious enough to give you the time and attention to explore ways to extend your tenure by, for example, re-delegating tasks, increasing schedule or location flexibility, or negotiating a pay or title change (aka a raise or promotion).

If your employer does not value you or your work, they may let you go on the spot, and that may be a blessing in disguise, giving you the freedom and motivation to find a more fulfilling job!

Advice from CEOs, executive coaches, and other experts to help you navigate the tricky situation of getting caught looking for another job.

Your personal brand is like your hair or nails.

Everyone has them. You can't decide to not have them. If you ignore or neglect them, they will quickly become unruly and unsightly, distracting and detrimental to your reputation and all your interactions.

If you regularly groom them and keep them updated to align with your desired image, they will create positive impressions and help you be more memorable with your target audiences.

Some people do very well maintaining them on their own with their natural instincts. But sometimes you need help knowing HOW to groom them to best suit your needs and purposes.

You go to a hairdresser or manicurist for professional help with hair and nails, respectively.

You go to a career coach for help with your personal brand. Hi, that's me!

I also have a bunch of free articles, webinars, and podcast episodes on personal branding on my website if you want to DIY it first...
