ApochroMinute 30: 1/3
In this week’s ApochroMinute, we encouraged you to pause, reflect on the last few months, and consider what you want to do with the 1/3 of 2020 that remains. To get you started, here are some questions to spur your reflection. We hope you’ll do more than just reflect, though. We hope you’ll use these a few or all of these questions to launch your forward progress.
It's not too late!
Today is Day 1 of the Career Rebound Challenge. Participants from a variety of professions are taking one week to lay the foundation for a Career Rebound.

Day 2 is Tuesday, August 25…so you still have time to join.

Career Lessons from [Virtual] Adult Summer Camp
Recently I got to attend Heather Hubbard’s Summer Camp, a one-of-a-kind, three day virtual event that fulfilled Heather’s promise for attendees to leave “inspired, replenished, and refreshed.” (I was honored to also get to lead a workshop on career resiliency and career planning when circumstances are out of your control.) The event included several career lessons worth repeating, and these four may be especially helpful as you look forward to the rest of 2020.
ApochroMinute 28: Paper Bag
We recently heard some great advice from Heather Hubbard on video meetings. Check out this week’s ApochroMinute to hear her tip. And if you enjoyed this week’s video, please share it!

2020 Has Really Been Something...Embrace Support

ApochroMinute 20: Challenge
The ApochroMinute is normally, well…a minute.
With all that is going on between citizens marching for equality and a global pandemic, we felt it appropriate to expand the ApochroMinute to 2 minutes today.
We know that as a small business, we can’t fix all of the inequalities in America. But we also know that as a small business that helps professionals build their careers, we have skills and tools that we can share. Please watch today’s ApochroMinute[s].
ApochroMinute 19: Yet
In this week’s ApochroMinute, Amy shares her favorite word, and how it can help you shift from feeling inadequate or intimidated to motivated and up for a challenge.
