I often encounter this point of view: “#Hiring 🤝 and #Promotions ⬆ are completely different - one is pure guesswork and the other is just apparent since you work together”. It begs the question: why is the Peter Principle still so prominent? It just supports the fact that #hiring and #promotions have significant intersections - in both cases you need to define and evaluate the #potential for the next role. Comment below or pm wether you agree or have another stance on this issue!

Shout out to Lauren Hodgson for including a video about the role! This kind of transparency is exactly what candidates need. Hearing directly from the hiring manager adds so much clarity—you get a real sense of the team, the culture, and even a bit about what it’d be like to work together. It’s a game-changer for job seekers trying to asses if they’re a good fit. Thank you, Lauren Hodgson, for making the hiring process more personal and approachable. Here’s hoping more leaders follow your lead! #hiring #corporateculture

Hiring talent has become a proactive sport. Any employee who meets your ideal AVATAR most likely already has a job. You need to keep a pipeline – that is right – a pipeline just like you have for your sales team. A list/pipeline of employees you would like to have on your team. So, for every open position, you should have three qualified candidates you are considering to fill that role. You need to have a pipeline that is active, robust, and proactive. #thriveinuncertainty #hiring #sales

Hey YOU! You're up. Play a bigger game. Empty Suits. Everywhere I look: empty suits trying to repurpose a strategy, rinse and repeat, lean on existing relationships, "fake it till you makers"...

Lots of positions are opening up and the industry desperately needs clever hard-working professionals to STEP UP now. You're up; its your turn! Dont let the empty-suits scare you. Go for it.

Get to know Ayaka Otsuka, our Strategic Solutions Senior Coordinator! ⚡️ Q: Did you always have a desire to work in sports?   A: Yes, I did! I played multiple sports growing up. Sports have always been the center of my life. I also wanted to expand my perspectives, so I decided to move to the U.S. and work in sports in this country. Q: How’d you get your start?   A: My career started with the LA Sparks when I was in college, where I was able to learn about corporate partnerships, from sales to activations. After graduation, I started working at the Chargers as a seasonal assistant for the Corporate Partnerships department. Q: What is the most rewarding part of your job and why?   A: Not an exact part of my job but I enjoy the whole process of creating partnership solutions with internal and external teams. I can feel a little achievement and growth every time I get a project completed with coworkers. Q: What advice do you have for those trying to get into sports/starting their career in the sports industry?   A: Be bold to go with your gut! Once you find out what you would like to pursue, enjoy every step and experience to get to your goal. There are always people who support you along the way. Q: How has your heritage shaped the person you are today?   A: Born and raised in Japan, I was taught that being humble is an important aspect as a human being. You should appreciate the people that surround you and be respectful and considerate towards others. This value helps me keep growing. Q: As we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, what are some aspects of your culture that you enjoy sharing with others?   A: Japanese food and anime culture. Food and pop culture can be a tool to share good times and experiences with people who have different backgrounds and cultures. I think that is a great thing! #workinsports #strategicsolutions
