Asking Works
If you've felt frustrated, after being excited to interview or discuss new opportunities, it may because you aren't sure if the information you offered hit the right elements for them to know you are perfect for the position. Even as we experience the unconscious biases associated with being over 40, how we shape our own stories of experience can make all the difference between opportunities going to young and trainable versus experienced and wisely agile. In this short presentation, Carole asks you to take a break, take a breath, and take an adventure to find out some gold information you didn't even know you needed to hunt for so that your shared experienced land with more rich information. Having spoken before on how to shape your experience stories, Carole realizes that there needs to also be time to gather information to make these stories more meaningful. Now is a perfect time, with a tested framework, to go after new information for you to share. The bonus is that you can also use this in every area of your life to drive richer conversations, gain better information and insights, and ultimately become more polished at storytelling that engages your audience better than anyone else.
