Jacie Paulk's Portfolio

Your penetrating questions-they deepen our understanding of ourselves and the value of our ideas.

• You're the one who actually loves reading everything that comes across your desk, and you make instant, relevant connections regarding how and whom every idea can serve. Finding the right article, sending it to the right person, knowing that it will help him or her solve a current issue or stimulate the next move: this is you in your element. Your penetrating questions-they deepen our understanding of ourselves and the value of our ideas.You are the first person people think of when they are looking for the best resources or research on any given subject. A day without investigating or learning something new is like a day without water for you. You need the stimulation to survive, and you're not fussy about the subject matter. You just need to be able to apply it practically in service of others.

You are the quintessential career coach.

• You are an instinctive gatherer of information, a collector of interesting factoids, articles, and insights. You do this not necessarily for your own benefit, but rather so you can package them up and parcel them back out to people who might need them, or find them useful. Over your career you will come to be known for this--whenever we are at a loss, we will turn to you, sure that you will have something valuable to share with us. For example, in the world of education, you will excel with older students who are about to graduate.  You are the quintessential career coach.and who need connections beyond the closed environment of the classroom and the textbook. In the corporate world, you will be that wonderful first boss who not only teaches us the basics of our job, but also links us up with people who help us take the next step. Later in your career, you will prove to be a willing and effective mentor, the kind who will not only know who to call but who will bother to make the third and fourth phone call on our behalf. Always generous with your knowledge, you are the quintessential career coach.
