  • Don't you love a good office space? Today working in an open space has become such a common trend. These guys at @relishnewbrand in Winnipeg do it right with this rustic @the_exchange_winnipeg building. Do you love where you spend your work day?
  • Kerri Twigg on a panel right after her @tedxwinnipeg talk at the June 2019 event! From @startpodcast to the TED stage, we are happy that our community is excited to hear @careerstorieskerri's message and feel her energy and enthusiasm. . 🎙️ You can hear Kerri's podcast episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, and more! Just search "start podcast". 🎙️ . • • • • • • #Repost @careerstorieskerri with @kimcy929_repost • • • • • • I LOVE being interviewed. I love it as an entrepreneur & I loved it as a job seeker. This was a post-talk panel &’I loved it. Here’s why: I know & am in confident in what I am and what I am not. I don’t see it as a place for people to try to trick or intimidate me. They’re just trying to get to know me & understand why I do this work. The more you know your story & tell it consistently, the further you get. And the more comfortable you get. It does help to have a container for your story & the most important one for your interview is being able to answer “Tell me About Yourself.” Once you know this one, every other question is a breeze. I made a new masterclass on how to answer this & how hiring people assess it — link is in my profile. I break the answer down for you + do a sample, so you can hear it for yourself.

  • Don't go in wanting to be CEO and make millions of dollars. You're going to hustle. You're going to make nothing. You are going to have to work harder than you've ever worked before, before you see any rewards. You have to be prepared for that and enter for the right reasons. - says Tom Jansen of @coalandcanary . Co-Founder Amanda adds: do your homework to see what organisations are available locally to help you. She accessed the Peer Spark Program through the Women's Enterprise Centre and speaks highly of the value it brought her while developing her entrepreneurial self. . . . @wec #Coal #Canary #Coalandcanary #Candles #Candlecompany #candleco #Craftfair #startpodcast #beyourself #spark #PeerSpark #WEC #WEM @tom_janz @abuhse #beyou #beauthentic #startabusiness #startup #junos #canaryinthecoalmine #coalandcanarycandles #coalandcanarycandle
