As every year, to close out 2021, I wanted to reflect on what our team accomplished and share with you our biggest milestones of 2021. This year was transformational for our business. We formed an official business entity, hired our first full-time employees and changed our business strategy. Despite our evolution from a community to a business in education, our main focus is to keep having an impact on people’s lives while being able to sustain our operations. Here are some highlights of what we have achieved this year.

One of the unexpected phenomena of the pandemic is that regardless of the economic and health crisis, many employees quit their jobs in the search of another one. With so much time on hand, more and more people had time to reflect on their careers and what they wanted from it. What became part of the norm is that all the in-person interviews were indeed conducted through zoom which brought the challenge of learning the proper zoom job interviews etiquette. But fear not, here are some steps to conduct an excellent zoom job interview and land the job of your dreams!

A network isn’t strictly the people you meet at networking or recruiting events for the purpose of getting a job. It’s everyone you’ve ever met, from your neighbor to the new dentist you went to last week, it’s every single person that you’re in contact with. But to capture the true value of a strong network, you have to be a bit more strategic. Build out a plan for what you want long term, write out your goals, and be specific about what you want this network for.

Is it possible to run any kind of business or build a successful career without taking risks? Sure, some people can live their whole lives risk-free (as far as their job is concerned), but if that is not what you want, you will have to learn how to manage risk-taking. ‍

We need to accept that remote work is becoming more present. Many of us switched into a hybrid model or work just from home, yet none of us was taught how to effectively communicate and make impact when all we have is a screen, phone or email. It is harder than seeing colleagues in person every day, simply because of the lack of face-to-face contacts. So here is how to master the art of remote interactions.

If you’re shackled to who you are now, you can’t recognize or reach for who you might become in the future. We all are facing the difficulty that as the world changes so quickly, the future becomes far less predictable, our options become exponentially increased, and the way we need to think about these options shifts. Today, we need an endless amount of information which might make it even harder to make decisions. The world around us has certainly become more complex and it makes us need to think differently than ever before. That is why we talk about the VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity).
