The Inside Gig with Edie Goldberg
In this episode, our guest Edie Goldberg - a talent management consultant and author of The Inside Gig: How Sharing Untapped Talent Across Boundaries Unleashes Organizational Capacity - talks about how to get a career edge by multiplying opportunities to do great work and learn. "It's much easier to find a new job in a different company than to find a new job in an existing company," she said, which is unfortunate, but it does not have to be that way. Listen in to hear her practical advice on what anyone can do to get an inside gig, like:
* Work on cross-functional projects
* Understand the skills you have and where the company is going to identify the potential match
* Get curious: ask people what they do. Interview others to learn what they work on
* Sell your boss on how your time and talent can be optimized
* Seek inside gigs to learn in the flow of work, and more…
Another thing she said that is absolutely true: "Your next job doesn't exist yet".
Finally, do check out the 5 Pitfalls to Avoid When You Do Side Gigs blog post that we discussed with Edie.

How do be a career visionary with Judy Garfinkel
Career success is accelerated when we, as individuals, are in alignment with the work we do: it gives us purpose, plays to our strengths, is enjoyable and more. When we find ourselves “suited” to our work, it becomes easier to do, excel and be rewarded. And when we know what alignment looks like, we can plan our career, to get more of what we want. But finding alignment, and planning for success, isn’t a given. And that’s where this podcast comes in. Judy Garfinkel, an executive coach and President of ICF Connecticut Chapter, sits with Angela and Sergey, to discuss what she has learnt in her career about how to seek alignment and plan for success.
