Want to know how to stand out as a career coach? Stop kicking job seekers while they're down. Why kindness is the greatest gift of all. ↓ Let's talk about the key to transforming our industry: ➝ It's by creating a culture of respect and empathy The LinkedIn branding bros want you to be edgy. — Insist the lack of offers means a lack of effort. — Pushing boldness over their challenges. — Use tough love and "no excuses." But trust me, compassion has a greater impact. And here's the best part... — No need to be overly sentimental to show you care. — Compassion is like a secret weapon in disguise. — And it's more than just about being friendly. I think it has a lot to do with understanding: — Your clients' unique circumstances. — Their own personal experiences. — Even their fears and doubts. Being compassionate opens a window into your heart. You're inviting them to connect on a deeper level. Whatever it is, people need your support. So, why not embrace empathy? — Start by actively listening. — Offer sincere encouragement. — Embrace empathy in your content. — Share your own job search struggles. Remember, compassion has immense influence. It can inspire confidence, build trust, and lower walls. And showing it regularly can build credibility. In fact, you might also discover: — Increased client loyalty. — Better working relationships. — Deeper connections with clients. — Fulfillment and professional growth. — Considerable increase in client referrals. The secret to having others trust you? Showing you genuinely care. ——— ❗️ The job market's brutal, stop poking the bear ♻️ Consider sharing to inspire others in our field
