How to Get a Job — How to Keep a Job

Anyone can be replaced — often quoted, but is it true? Or can you make an irreplaceable difference at work, at home, even in our global economy? Today’s podcast on Engaging Life and Leadership with Darren Dake and Anita Brooks.

On the First Hired, Last Fired episode, in studio Darren and Anita talk about simple choices you can make that will powerfully alter your impact and influence. On the job, many people are let go, and left wondering why. At home, relationships are mediocre at best, and families need hope that it won’t always be like this. In the world, we question what we should or can do to make things better.

The good news is, we can shape the global landscape by our decisions, behaviors, and attitudes. What if you could influence events, and missed the opportunity? But what if your resolve to change, changed the world? Take the three month challenge in the inspirational book, First Hired, Last Fired — How to Become Irreplaceable in Any Job Market. 

Want to protect your job, and align yourself as the chosen one first hired? Learn simple principles, easy to remember, and set yourself apart. But to become irreplaceable, a difference must be evident. Interview and Employment Coaching basics will get you started, but the book will take you deeper.

As a leader, slow down to appreciate the special talents and work ethics of your top people.  One of the interesting side-benefits to publishing the book has resulted in feedback from executives, managers, and business owners who say they were failing to recognize and acknowledge their best staff members. A new focus on gratitude is making the work-place happier and healthier, and transforming the job site from a place of dread, to an environment of joy. (Taking these basic philosophies with us at home, in friendships, and wherever we go makes a difference wherever we are.)
