How does it feel to work through the waiting season? At times, it feels like God forgot about you😭. I had the opportunity over the past six months to help so many professionals see their potential and celebrate their wins, but I felt like I was teaching something I couldn’t make happen for myself😅. Yup, that’s a true transparency moment ⬅️! I had to get out of my own emotions to see that my duty was to steward in this season & nothing less. Imagine if I would’ve never honored @jwmental @clarkeep @xo_xiara @tyrin.jay @1dynishaa and T’Kia because I was so scared they wouldn’t accept this honor from a small brand like us?! Fear mixed with disappointment will stop you from using your waiting season as a catalyst. Trust me when I say this, it might be your waiting season, but that doesn’t mean it’s a “do nothing” season. Allow God to work, and you prepare. & really PREPARE y’all because when that waiting season is over, it’s GO time, no brakes📌🫡.

Meet the Pivoting Professional of August, John E. Wilson, D.C. (@jwmental ) ✍🏽📌!! Listen, I could not WAIT to give him this honor because when I think of the word mentor, I immediately think of him. He is a Doctor of Chiropractic and a NASM Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist 🫡! However, he is more than his educational achievements. John is a pioneer, leader, and mentor to many. He has championed the professional development of hundreds of young adults throughout the years & has never shied away from the pressure that may have come with it🗣️. John is not one to sugarcoat anything, but will give you the gems you need to succeed. This is exuded through his career and mentality of excellence and results 🤩! Anyone around him can attest to the fact that he pushes you to reform the way you think and trust the Lord with all your being💪🏽. This faith has gotten John to many places, and allowed him to gain amazing opportunities and wisdom. Wisdom that he’d like to share with us today💬! We asked John what is the best tip someone has given him in regard to professional development & he said, “Network and get involved in your community.” From this advice, he went on to serve hundreds of people throughout LSU and Baton Rouge💜💛! That’s how you take heed to the advice given to you✅!! He learned that as your network grows, opportunities to serve your network does too, which is so true! John is excited to see the lives that’ll be changed through the Pivoting Professional from the exposure to careers and avenues of life that many of us may have never seen before 👨🏽‍💻. He hopes the testimony of our lives and careers encourages others to trust God and step out on to the water of faith🙌🏽 & I could not agree with him more! Thank you, John, D.C. for accepting this honor and being apart of our community🤝🏾! We appreciate and clap for you in every room. John is ready to answer any questions and connect, so don’t hesitate to reach out ASAP🗣️👩🏽‍💼📍! #readthatagain Show him some love y’all on our Instagram stories today as he does a day in the life!!!🫶🏽🫡 📸: @jameswilsonphotographs

THIS WAS NOT A PLANNED POST😂. If you know, you know… sometimes God will literally push you to speak on something!📍 I learned the hard way that no matter how much you network, gain the best tools and resources, and engage with the best of the best, if you are not in the right PLACE to receive, NOTHING will work🥲. You will begin to question if you are even good at what you thought you were because everything YOU try is failing✍🏽. Know that in that moment, you must get out of your own way and allow God to be God. Read that again🗣️! Some Necessary Endings need to happen THIS WEEK for this new level of blessings you are asking for. We can give you every skill and tool to get that job, navigate that pivot, and build your professional community, but YOU have to be in the right place to receive it. CATCH IT🔑! Comment 🫡🫡 if you HEARD me!!

Y’all God truly must’ve put a few of us on His toughest soldiers list this year cause WHEW🤣. All I’ve been hearing is when am I going to catch a break? Is it my winning season yet? Okay, God I’ve learned the lesson! Now, how are we going to tell God when we’re done learning a lesson?!😂 That’s how I know a few of us want out of the waiting room and into the celebration room, but REMEMBER you want that room to be fully prepared for you BEFORE you step into it, so allow God to do what He does best and that’s make it better than we could’ve ever IMAGINED🤩! While you’re in that waiting room, however, you have to continue to fight and show up for yourself📍. You have to continue to do the WORK, so the waiting doesn’t seem useless. If it’s your preparation season, I need you to actually PREPARE👊🏽. Pivoting Professionals don’t skip the hard seasons because they know they are the BEST seasons🐐. The seasons that you look back on and thank God for, but maybe you need to start thanking Him now for this season because without it you would’ve never realized your true potential. Whatever it is that God is trying to teach you, trust that He wouldn’t make you learn it or relearn it, if it wasn’t for your better good. Now, let’s WORK! GET BACK IN THE GAME PROFESSIONALS🔑🗣️! If you read the whole caption and needed this today, comment 🤝🏾🤝🏾!!

Mentors are the accelerators to your success IF you have the right mentor for YOU👀! In every season, you may need a different type of mentor. Yes you read that correctly! In one season, you may need a mentor that has skills in negotiation and job searching, while in another season, you may need a mentor who is well diverse in promotions. Your needs will change through your professional journey and that’s OKAY🤩. Here are a few gems to finding the right mentor for you: 💎Treat finding your mentor like finding your bae😂! Yes you heard me correctly! You need to be as selective with finding a mentor as you are with choosing a partner! Ask the correct questions and be selective because they are pivotal to your journey! 💎You should have a board of mentors! Having multiple mentors that you can call on for different things is GOLDEN, but make sure each mentor serves a UNIQUE purpose. Figure out what you NEED from a mentor before you attempt to find one. 💎 Imposter syndrome is REAL, so you need a mentor that can shake you out of it and remind you to ask for more. You need a mentor with the AUDACITY that you may not have yet. 💎 Speak UP! Talk to your classmates, professors, and program directors, if you’re in school as they could be potential mentors. Peer to peer mentorship is an amazing tool, so don’t discount it in your journey. Also, attend courses, webinars, and conferences as you may meet a mentor through these activities.
