The Great American Job:

Speech Fitness Boot Camps®
for our Veterans

Veterans return from service with a diverse set of skills, but often lack the knowledge to translate them into employment back home. I’d like to enlist your help in offering a special veterans’ version of our signature Boot Camps and Personal Training for Job Seekers. I can’t think of a better way to thank the people who have sacrificed so much for us.

How You Can Help

Our veterans require the same kind of support you’ve helped us deliver to our GenY/Millennials these past few years. We Want You!

As our partners – to sponsor this venture:
with scholarships, coaching fees, materials, travel expenses, marketing and promotions
Referrals
Internships and jobs

We know our system works
because you’ve hired 100% of our Boot Campers!

How You Benefit

Visibility through signage, promotions, and PR
Well-trained hires who are supported throughout their first year with you
Satisfaction: you’ve done your part for our veterans

Our Boot Camps Defined

We created the Speech Fitness Boot Camps to help people in career transitions achieve their goals-from GenY/Millennials to Small Business Owners and Corporate Groups to “Re-imaginers”. Our certified coaches are some of the best in the country. The program includes:

Personal branding
Help with resume writing
Confidence building
Networking skills
Interview skills/on-camera role-play/ practice/feedback
Connections to jobs

We’re taking our Speech Fitness Boot Camps on the road in 2013, expanding to: Oregon, California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

In Memory:

Charla Krupp January 29, 1953 – January 23, 2012

In honor of Charla’s Birthday, our years of friendship through our collaboration in the Media and her legacy in support of women in Media, Mary Mayotte Communications, inc will be making a gift to her fund for scholarships at the University of Illinois College of Media.
Please join me in support of this cause.

Happy New Year!

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice.

-T.S. Elliot

Dear mary,

Communication is the heart of our bond with others-family, friends, colleagues and community. It’s our gift to the world. Sometimes we know exactly what to say in a given moment. Sometimes we hold our thoughts and emotions in silence because we don’t know how to frame them in mere words.

By being silent, we diminish our ability to make a difference with the power of our words. Everyone’s words are worth hearing. A kind word can turn a day around for someone, and a thoughtful criticism can help another grow, even though we may never know the effects we’ve had. We can be the source of inspiration and motivation for others, just as they are for us. Imagine not being able to turn to the words of sages like T.S. Elliot.

With Elliot’s quote (above) in mind, make this year the time to speak your unique voice. Find the right words to fully communicate your creative ideas; describe a product or service; or convey the value of your business.

Make this your year to shine by going public: Speak to the media. Create a “stump speech.” Build a better organization. Become more savvy about your personal brand. GET that new job. Get some coaching around life’s challenges. Don’t put this year’s words off until next year.

Wishing you my best for the year ahead. Forward, MARCH into 2013!!

Late Summer Blooms in the Institute Garden

Dear mary,

…hmmm….as usual, I’m humming a (Summer) tune in the Garden at the Institute.

I love this classic –”Summertime“, from Porgy and Bess which is surely well known to you and has been recorded by just about everyone. What’s your favorite rendition?

And after planting my purple Dahlia bulb last year resulting in no blooms, I have nurtured, fed and fertilized–I am thrilled to say…”success”!
see some blooms this week (shared above).

Summertime and the livin’ is easy–Labor Day Holiday is a great time to slow down and offer yourself a little mind, body, soul-filled recharge.

So many of you have told me about the fun family vacations you have taken this past month. I am having vicarious exhales and enjoy all of your Facebook posts with family and friends. Your kids are getting so big!!

While things are a little slower and everyone’s heading to the beach before we have to get ‘back to school’, why not take time to plan some self-improvement when Fall kicks back into gear. It will come all too soon.

Don’t miss my special coupon for Communications training and consulting below.

And, I have a limited few Speech Fitness
Coach Certifications available.

Check out my exciting new project in the works now–so please read on and let me catch you up on my ‘latest’.

I will be ‘takin’ it to the street’ with our Speech Fitness Career Boot Camps in 2013.

I am going to need all kinds of support to make it happen. Thanks in advance for your partnership.

Enjoy these last lazy days of Summer!

Projects are the New Job Interview

People are becoming more careful about their financial investments, just as companies are becoming more careful about whom they hire. And, as with investing, interviewing has become more demanding.

Companies are increasingly asking prospective employees to perform project work as part of the interviewing process. From reviewing a document or project, to submitting thoughts on a potential new strategy, candidates are being asked to “audition”- to execute a wide array of tasks over the “getting to know you” phase.

Whether you agree with this new methodology or not, it is becoming increasingly popular. It will require an ability to “sniff out” which projects are genuine invitations vs. the ones used to “abuse”.

It is important to learn and develop the skills necessary to complete the project efficiently, work into the ‘new team’ and compete with other candidates successfully. It is also essential to present yourself as a stand-out in day-to-day exchanges, as well as in the final interview.

However, just as it gives the company additional time and insight into their ‘new employee’, it also gives you a more in-depth view of this employer. Which means that you have to cultivate tools to investigate the company and understand its culture; never mind the additional care needed to be able to pass the social media scrutiny many companies perform these days.

This new interviewing “process” has definitely made the path of employment much more daunting to many. As the article says, it is important for interviewees to learn to, “optimize their influence and impact within the constraints of the project design.“

Networking is a key to successful employment. 70% of all jobs come from referrals. We do our best to network our Boot-Campers with our roster of amazing organizations. So far, we are proud to say, with a 100% success rate.
