Your new tool to sharpen your narrative, elevate your confidence, and get hired faster. If you’ve ever walked into an interview and thought… - “I know I’m qualified… but I’m not telling my story clearly.” - “My elevator pitch feels flat.” - “I ramble instead of landing the point.” - “I’m not sure how to talk about my STAR stories with impact.” You’re not alone, and now you don’t have to navigate it alone either. Today, I’m excited to officially launch something we’ve been building quietly behind the scenes: 🔥 The Off The Dreadmill Interview Coach A custom AI interview practice tool based on my coaching frameworks and my work with clients. (Access is available to paid members inside the Job Search Accelerator under the "Classroom" heading.) This tool will help you: 🎤 Nail Your Elevator Pitch Craft a 20–40 second intro that’s clear, crisp, and compelling. ⭐ Turn Accomplishments Into Powerful STAR Stories Practice any story and get instant feedback on clarity, impact, and articulation. 💼 Interview for Any Job With Confidence Upload a job spec, paste one in, or describe a role, and the tool will tailor questions and help you shape the exact narrative you need. 🔄 Simulate a Real Conversation Use ChatGPT Voice Mode and practice live as if you’re talking to a hiring manager. 🧠 Get Coaching Feedback Based on “Off The Dreadmill” Everything you get back is built from the same tools and methods I use with my private clients. 🎯 Why this matters Interviewing is a skill. It's learnable. And when you get great at telling your story, you get more options, more leverage, and more control over your career. This tool gives you a safe place to practice anytime and develop the confidence and clarity that move you from hoping to earning the role you want.

During budget cuts, it's not always underperformers at risk—invisible employees are vulnerable too. Good work must link to broader business goals to ensure job security. Visibility protects against uncertainty. Connect work to outcomes, contribute actively, and recap key achievements.

Macro headlines can be scary, but micro actions control your destiny. Focus on outcomes, make your work visible, and expand your network to safeguard your career.

Here's an insightful question from a reader about the must-haves tool in Off the Dreadmill. The must haves tool is about getting clarity about your values. It's the foundation. When you have a solid foundation, you can build a strong and stable career. You can use the must-haves tool at any point in your career. Your preferences will change over time, and a periodic assessment and realignment with your must-haves (your values) is how you stay fulfilled for the long term.

Think about the athlete who rises to become a champion. They don't just show up and win. They're up before sunrise, putting in hours at the gym, refining every movement, training relentlessly. It's no different for leaders who reach rockstar status in Fortune 500 companies or those who smoothly transition to new executive roles. They're investing hours behind the scenes—developing critical skills, mastering strategic thinking, building resilience, and refining their executive presence. If you're aiming for elite status in your career, it won't happen by chance. Just like athletes need great coaches, elite executives need career coaches who understand the nuances of leadership at the highest level. This is my son training to make the varsity team as a freshman in the fall. He's putting in the work because he knows: You're not born elite. You become elite by being intentional and putting in the work.
