  375: The Questions I Hear Most - Career Squad Edition

  Sep 28, 202623 minS7

  This is the last episode of the September series, and I wanted to close it differently. Instead of teaching the framework one more time, I'm answering the nine questions I get asked most, about the Career Squad, about the book, about my own life. Some are practical: where do you even start if most of these nine relationships are missing? Isn't this just networking with a new name? What do you do when the person who should be your sponsor is also your manager? Some are more personal than I usually get into. Which relationship has been hardest for me to build, even now. Whether I've ever watched someone quietly fade out of my own squad. Whether a seat has ever stayed empty for years before the right person finally stepped into it. And I close with the question that's stayed with me the longest: if I could say one thing to my own squad right now, what would it be. I answer it by name. Thank you for driving this road with me this month. The 9 People You Need in Your Career Squad: How to Build the Relationships That Drive Every Career Breakthrough is available now, paperback and Kindle.

  374: The Two Seats Most People Leave Empty in their Career Squad

  Sep 21, 202631 minS7

  Since 2023 I have talked about the Career Squad Framework with hundreds of people. Two gaps come up more than any other, every single time. The Sponsor is the most common gap people have. The Critic is the rarest relationship most people have ever actually built. That's not a coincidence, and today I'm going deep on both. Not just what these two relationships are, why they're so hard to build in the first place, and exactly how to go build them anyway. How to get visible to the right people, without it feeling like self-promotion. What to actually say when you're finally ready to ask for support. How to find someone who'll tell you the truth, and the exact words that get you a real answer instead of a polite one. This is one of the most personal episodes in the series, including the professional setback that taught me what sponsorship actually costs, and the year I spent unable to hear the truth from someone who was only trying to help me.

  371: Live from the Book Launch: Build Your Career Squad with Charlie Ackerman and Andy Storch

  Sep 14, 20261h 11mS7

  What if the most important infrastructure of your career has nothing to do with your skills, your credentials, or your hard work, and everything to do with the people you have intentionally built around you? In this special episode of Leading Yourself, I am sharing the full recording of my live book launch event for Build Your Career Squad: The 9 People You Need in Your Career Squad , the book I have been carrying for a long time and that officially came into the world on September 5th. This is not a typical book launch. It is a real conversation. I walk you through the full Career Squad framework, nine relationships organized into three families that determine not just how far your career goes but how you feel getting there. We do a live assessment together so you can see exactly where your own squad stands right now. And then I sit down with two guests who have built extraordinary careers and who know this framework not because they read the book, but because they lived it. Joining me on the panel: Charlie Ackerman — former SVP of Human Resources at Bosch North America, executive coach, and one of the people in my own Career Squad. Andy Storch — author of Own Your Career Own Your Life, keynote speaker, and host of the Talent Development Hot Seat podcast. Together we talk about what it actually takes to find the right people for your squad, how to onboard a new relationship without it feeling transactional, what it means to show up for someone else's career over a long time, and what most professionals leave on the table in the relationships they already have. Whether you have read the book or this is the first time you are hearing about it, this episode will change how you look at every professional relationship in your life.
