I’ll never forget my excitement when I got my first promotion at LinkedIn, going from “associate editor” to “news editor” after just one year. What I don’t talk about as often is how I struggled getting...

Welcome to 2025, Reader! I hope you had a happy, healthy, and restful holiday season. I took a week off and spent time at the driving range (I’m only a few lessons in), eating a ton of dessert (my favorite!), and spending lots of time with family in LA. :) To help you kick off the year on a high note, I’ve curated some of my favorite resources with you to ensure you are set up for success and feel confident going into the new year.Here are some of my favorite tools, courses, and freebies to...

Hi Reader, I’m back with my usual Tip of the Day today! Thank you to everyone who read and replied to my “Solopreneur Reflections” edition—it means so much to have your support! Now onto our regularly scheduled programming… One of the most uncomfortable things I’ve had to do as a solopreneur is reach out to my network to ask for referrals and connections. I don’t want to feel like I’m bothering them, asking for too much, or coming across like a schmoozy sales person. Time and time again,...

Hi Reader, I’ve always wondered if dream jobs really exist. I’ve enjoyed all my previous tech roles and now my current role as a keynote speaker and author. What I’ve come to learn over the years is that while no job is perfect, you can find the right fit for you depending on your goals and where you’re at in life (because these things will change!). This course from my friend and today’s guest writer, Simone Stolzoff, comes at the PERFECT time ahead of the new year. I know many of you...

Hi Reader, It's the annual edition of my solopreneurship reflections, the one time a year my newsletter is longer than a 3-minute read. 😉 Hope you enjoy it and find some of the lessons and resources I share useful in your career, too! It’s been 2 years since I was laid off and decided to leave behind a decades-plus career leading editorial teams at tech firms to jump into solopreneurship. I turned my (very) modest side hustle into a proper full-time business speaking, teaching, and consulting...

Hi Reader, As someone who is naturally a bit quieter, speaking up in meetings wasn’t something that came naturally to me. I love the advice that Yue Zho shares in this week’s newsletter because she explains that there are actually a few different ways you can speak up—and some aren’t as impactful as you might think. 😲 I wish I had gotten this advice earlier in my career, and am excited to share it with you so you can accelerate your career even faster. Yue Zhao is a Chief Product & Technology...

Hi Reader, I’ve talked a lot about executive presence in this newsletter because it’s something every leader is “supposed” to have but its definition can be so ambiguous. That’s why I’m excited to feature insights this week from Jess Goldberg to help us learn more tangible ways to strengthen our executive presence! Jess is an incredible leadership communication expert, company trainer, and executive coach who’s been making a real difference for thousands of executives and managers from...

Hi Reader, If you missed last week’s newsletter, I mentioned I’d be bringing in guest writers over the next few weeks to offer you fresh perspectives on many of the topics I cover here in Career Bites. I truly believe there's power in learning from diverse voices, and I've handpicked an amazing lineup of experts just for you. This week, I’m excited to feature Annie Duke, renowned author and speaker (she is also a former professional poker player—how cool is that?!), who will dive into...
