A simple message to everyone: “Ghosting” is unprofessional - at every level. HR has nothing to gain by ghosting applicants. Clients have nothing to gain by ghosting proposals. All it does is damage your reputation. It’s not enough to talk the talk when it comes to communication. You also need to walk the walk. Before I work with any client, we have a 50-minute call to determine whether we’re a good match. Do you have any idea how many people ghosted me even after that 50-minute call? It’s insane. Not just individuals but major luxury brands. It’s a major red flag when someone ghosts you. If they can’t even take 2 minutes to answer you with a yes or no, They’re not worth your time. You don’t need to work with people who are rude. And you don’t need to work with people who have poor social skills. It’s time to be professional. A lot of my clients complain they have been ghosted after not one but sometimes 2 or 3 interviews. Is it your case too? — If you can relate to this: Follow @Julien Fortuit and connect Tap the 🔔 on my profile Comment on your experiences below #communication #coaching #skills #clients

''Just be authentic' I'm often asked for advice on how to connect meaningfully, whether it's in the context of networking, sales, a presentation or job interview. For sure, being authentic is always best. But exactly how is not clear. You can think about the words you'd use. Or how vigorously to shake their hand. Or what your 'oh interesting' face looks like. Or which kinds of questions to ask. But here's what I've learned: Authenticity is subtraction 👌 Being authentically yourself doesn't require you to be, think or do anything extra. In fact, it's about dropping all pretences and tactics entirely. Less is more. Strip it all away, and the other person should simply be presented with the real, natural and loose version of you, nothing more. You can only ever 'be' yourself anyway. Life is too short and dull for the world to be kept from your unique conglomeration of atoms. It's about shifting from thinking to feeling. Going from self-attention to presence. That's what being authentic means: being truly you. Not someone else you think they need to see. This way, whether or not you hit it off, everyone wins. The beauty of networking for the first time is that you don't have any expectation to live up to yet, so you might as well let your natural curiosity and energy flow like the extraordinary river it is. It will do the work for you, every time. #connection #networking #curiosity #people #relationshipbuilding #business

Many times I'm convinced that it's very cool to have the skill of storytelling, it will help both in a job interview, in presenting your idea and design. Among other things, it's good for the brain and helps not only in the writing profession. After all, in any business you need to emphasize the story of creating a unique brand to make it successful and profitable. One of the key thoughts of Miller's book «The Storybrand Method» is that every brand should have a story. A story in which the consumer is the hero, the brand is his helper, and the product or service is the tool that helps him achieve his goal. And I want to share with you one quote from the book that I agree with 100%: «One of the most powerful tools you have in business is your story»

Too often, people get stuck on what is written in front of them and they forget to look for the story behind the résumé which reveals so much more about a candidate. 1-Ask: Why did you take on a particular path? 2-Get to the real reason why they are leaving. 3-Consider what kind of person thrived in this position in the past. When you look beyond the resume you will discover an interesting “story” and that’s often where the best insights lie. #interviewtips #interview #storytelling
