5/27/2020 – How to Show Up and Show Out When You Just Want to Shut Down

May 30, 2020

Written by Debbie Adkins

After reading your resume, but before they see you, employers often have their mind made up about you and your work experience. What you need to do to take control is to “Show Up and Show Out without Shutting Down” and Bridgett McGowen is just the person to take you down that path!

Bridgett is an award-winning international professional speaker; a 2020 Forbes Coaches Council official member; the owner of BMcTALKS Press, an independent publishing company; and the founder and owner of BMcTALKS Academy where she helps professionals be the most engaging, dynamic, incredible communicators ever!

Keynote

To get started on how to “Show Up and Show Out without Shutting Down”, take in the information below and work with it.

To Show Up requires you to be physically, mentally and emotionally present. Everything about you says that you know you matter.

To Show Out you need to perform, behave and interact with others in a way that is extraordinarily and uncharacteristically impressive.

If you decide to Shut Down, it can be for several reasons:

  • Environmental things
  • Regency effect (reactions around you)
  • Getting stuck in a pattern (avoid change)

There are six reasons why it is worth bothering to Show Up and Show Out. When you Show Up and Show Out:

  • You are internally motivated
  • You are able to look at the bright side of things; move forward while pushing out negativity
  • You push beyond your comfort zone; you have to get uncomfortable before you can be comfortable
  • You know what you want
  • You do not give up
  • You surround yourself with other who show up

Here are four pillars that will consistently position you to Show Up and Show Out in a way that makes you unforgettable for all of the right reasons:

  • LOOK: How you look sends a message without you saying a word. Always have a smile, it makes you sound and look confident and composed.
    SMILE = S-Strength, M-Magic, I-Infectious, L-Love, E-Energy
  • SOUND: How you sound demonstrates that you know how to use your voice to be impactful. Slowing down your rate of speech shows confidence and work on filtering out your filler words (i.e. like, uh, um, ah).
  • SAY!: Make your messages always elevate yourself and others.
  • SAY?: You need to say what you mean and mean what you say. Put power into your words.
    POWER = P-Positive, O-Open-Minded, W-Worthwhile, E-Effective, R-Relevant

Testimonials

A good friend told me of her success using Career Connectors networking.  She landed an interview and later, a job in her field, after attending one networking event.  So, when it was my turn, I had to check it out. I was starting to get the blues about being unemployed but the speaker lifted me out of the dumps and put my life back in perspective. So many people were there to help and offer support!   Just by networking that day, I was given a job lead that has led to two interviews and a… Read more

I took advantage of Career Connectors when I found myself unexpectedly out of work and back in AZ.  The ease in using their website to locate meetings and identify subject matter at their weekly meetings kept me informed and engaged.  Their meetings are interesting and provide relevant and useful information toward getting into the right job.  They say that a network event is what you make of it … with Career Connectors they create the events and provide the resources you need to land your next … Read more

Good news. I have landed. Thank you for your support throughout my job search journey. You and your organization has lots to offer besides the positive energy, uplifting of self confidence and immense networking opportunities. I am very appreciative of the efforts and time put forward by you and your team.

Career Connectors made the pivotal difference in my search for employment after a layoff lasting a full year. Their dedication to providing a consistent, local and no-cost program and venue to search, network and learn, ultimately provided not only an excellent fit in a new job, but also the ability to regain dignity and the ability to achieve financial independence once again. I am forever grateful to all of the volunteers that produced a program so vitally important to our family

Career Connectors offered me a one-stop-shopping capability for all of the coaching, resources and connections I needed to perfect my job searching skills.  The package of services, and support I found while attending these workshops over the past 7 months was unique to, and more productive than any other networking venues I attended. I am thrilled to share that I’ve landed with B/E Aerospace in Tucson.  I recommend to all Job Seekers to find out what works for you, and exploit it for best r… Read more

I just wanted to reach out to you and say Thank you to you, Career Connectors and the whole Team! So let me explain why, while I’ve known of Career Connectors for many years, I never thought that I would need employment services or guidance before. On September 19th 2019 I found myself being let go from my job. I later the next day saw the Career Connectors event at Central Christian Church Gilbert Campus coming up on Facebook and signed up for it. While attending my first Career Connectors even… Read more

Thank you for all you do! I’ve been nine loooong months looking for a full-time position and Career Connectors was a real life-line. I was pretty discouraged by the time I found your organization on-line and first visited. The speaker provided some great information but most importantly, encouragement and hope. The panel discussion on resumes was incredibly helpful! Last month I had the opportunity to sit with Brenda and she suggested I really pare back all but the last 10 years of experience an… Read more

I’ve attended a few of your events in Gilbert and Scottsdale since returning to AZ and being an active job seeker. I’m happy to report that I’ve been offered a job! I’m over the moon about the offer and couldn’t be more grateful after a long, three month search (that definitely felt much longer…. 🙂 ). I want to thank you for your programs. You have excellent speakers who always energized me when I was needing it most. And your resume reviewer was great. She was a tough cookie with a red pen y… Read more

It was amazing, you guys did a great job! I found several potential companies!

I just wanted to let you know that there’s a reason why I haven’t come to any recent Career Connectors events. It’s because I found a job! This past week, I started working as a data scientist for a technology startup in the financial services space that’s based in downtown Phoenix. It’s an ideal opportunity for me to break into the data science industry with an exciting company. I wanted to thank you and your staff for putting together all of your fantastic networking events and bringing … Read more
