COVID-19 has shaped every aspect of our lives, even interviewing. Zoom interviewing is a new territory for many; here's how to master it!

1. Test, test, TEST!!! I cannot stress this enough. Jump onto your computer 12-24 hours before your interview to make sure everything is running smoothly. You don't want to be flustered and fumbling with technology at the beginning of your interview!

2. Do NOT sit in front of a window. It blurs the camera making it hard for others to see you. Shift your computer to different spaces to see where you are most clear and visible.

3. Lock your door and throw up a sign so everyone knows you're in an interview. Give your pups and kiddos a treat and set yourself up in front of a blank wall to minimize distractions.

4. Put a sticker next to your camera and focus on it the entire time. This makes it so you are not distracted by anything on your screen, including yourself!

Let me know if you try these tips and share some of your own below ☺️

My hope is to give others the ability to overcome any perceived differences based on cultural bias by enabling them to communicate effectively and coherently to their targeted audiences. To me diversity is more than differences in people; it is the catalyst that drives people to go beyond comfort zones and create quality relationships and work.

Happy Friday, everyone! Here are some fun facts about me to get to know me a little bit better. I would love to hear some fun facts about you in the comments below!

1. All the dogs I have owned/grown up with, including Dax, are rescues.
2. I am a quote ju**ie -- I LOVE quotes... There is a quote/advice for everything and they can be found anywhere. Friends, family, colleagues, books, etc... The right quote at the right time is SO valuable - inspirational, sentiment, capturing the moment/feeling/time.
3. I am a terrible artist in all sense of the word - drawing, painting, music, singing. No talent. I waited until last semester of senior year in HS to fill my art requirement bc I am THAT bad. I had a friend try to teach me to sing, fail.
4. I have a love/hate relationship with exercise so I get creative. My favorite "sports" are rollerblading, boxing, bowling and spikeball.
5. I love to travel - cliche... but I love traveling on my own. I found it so peaceful, grounding and enlightening (about others and myself). My favorite alone trip was driving the coast of CA from SF to SD in a convertible (alone).

I am an actuary turned communication consultant and coach.

How exactly does that happen?

I worked in actuarial consulting for over 6 years, which helped me to understand what worked in business and what did not.
I made it my mission to educate myself. I studied formally through a master’s degree in speech-language pathology and also informally by continuing to assess communications across a broad range of situations and interactions.

Today I work with individuals and groups from all over the world in different industries and professions. My goal is to help my clients use soft skills as their allies. I pride myself on teaming with my clients to understand their needs, aspirations, and concerns.

Great read from - soft skills are often the most sought out skills for any position. They increase opportunity, pay, and connections.

However they are hardest to learn!! I know a good coach who can help out🗣

Companies across the U.S. say it is becoming increasingly tough to find job applicants who have the ‘soft skills’ to communicate clearly, take initiative, problem-solve and get along with co-workers.

Don't teach, tell a story... Engagement increases learning and focus in all communication 🤝

It's yet another reason why bullet points shouldn't be the default.
