Description

Feeling torn before you hit submit? Bree breaks down the Search Paradox and shows how to stop choosing the safest option and start choosing the roles that accelerate your story. Learn the 70/30 rule to target jobs that stretch you—and why being 100% qualified can actually stall your growth. Use the Triple‑A Test—Autonomy, Advancement, Alignment—to separate meaningful moves from shiny dead ends, understand the Iceberg Effect of hidden opportunities, and get practical next steps for positioning yourself as the solution employers need.

The Digital Handshake – Mastering Your Professional Persona

Discover how your LinkedIn profile quietly shapes your reputation and why it should be treated like your most valuable piece of digital real estate. This episode walks through the visuals that grab attention, the banner that acts like a billboard, and the “great edit” that keeps your experience focused and current. Learn the difference between listing responsibilities and proving impact — use numbers and outcomes to build credibility. We also cover optimization of education, skills, certifications, and activity, plus how to craft an About section that turns your résumé into a clear story. Take the 10-minute data audit challenge to add measurable results to your recent roles, and if you want a free 15-minute LinkedIn review, contact My HECS at info@myhecs.com or call 203-939-7653.
