The Art of Landing a Job Without Being Needy

By Paige Leacey

16 January 2019

When it comes to contract jobs, you’re getting booked not only for the skills you offer but because the client likes the way you operate. You’re getting booked because you ask the right amount of questions without being needy, because you are self-sufficient without being presumptuous, and because you are interested without being invasive. Learning these parameters and how to manipulate them is the key to success.

How to Write Emails that Don’t Suck

By Paige Leacey

3 January 2019

Terrible emails are part of the privilege of having an email address. But terrible, annoying and generic emails don’t convert to sales, whether it’s a product or yourself you’re selling. Nine times out of ten, a poorly written email ends up having wasted equal amounts of time for the sender as for the recipient. That’s hardly getting anyone paid.

How to Say ‘No’ in the World Full of ‘Yes’

By Paige Leacey

19 December 2018

Saying ‘yes’ is empowering, but saying ‘no’ should be too. It’s a tool for setting boundaries and warding off feelings of frustration, resentment and obligation. It’s a safeguard to keep us from over committing, under delivering and rushing toilet breaks. No one wants to do that.

About Your About Us Page

By Paige Leacey

19 November 2018

When someone asks our story, we look up, away and to the side, mumble or reduce our achievements and dreams, horrified that if we communicate them too clearly we might jinx them – or worse, open them up to criticism. The same goes for writing our story down. So we avoid doing it, or doing it sincerely, because then if it sucks it’s easier to say we didn’t try.

Don’t let your personal brand pigeonhole you

By Sarah Aboulhosn

18 July 2018

In a time where social media rules everything around us, a lot of entrepreneurs realise the importance of maintaining a personal brand online. A common misconception that people have is that you must pick one specific niche and stick to it forever. When you have a personal brand and an audience supporting you it can be easy to let that brand consume your identity online and sometimes even stifle curiosity and growth in other areas. Instead of letting your personal brand define you, allow your brand to be defined by who you are at any given point in time. After all, people evolve, and you wouldn’t be a person if you didn’t change at some point in your life.
