Who says your career has to fit into a nice, neat little box? Many of my clients are unique, successful, and interesting precisely because they didn’t follow the same linear path as everyone else. Maybe they took a year sabbatical to travel the world, served a cause or church on mission, or...
Let me set the scene: You’re sitting at your computer and staring at your LinkedIn inbox. You can see that your first message to a warm prospect was read, but ignored. Bummer. A week and a half goes by with no response, so you decide to send a second message. Still, crickets. A couple more...
