50% of all new hires fail within the first 18 months. Changing jobs, careers, or companies is hard enough under normal circumstances but seems absolutely dreadful during the dumpster fire that is 2021. Adrian (aka "Mr. Change-A-Job") provides both a reality check and a roadmap for navigating the first 30 days in a new role. His simple approach involves starting any new job like a Journalist, then becoming a Scientist, and lastly a Psychologist. Adrian and Daryl discuss the key conversations, capabilities, and questions you must plan for and how to identify what type of team player you were hired to be. Learn how to "fire-proof" your first 30 days without burning bridges or starting unnecessary fires.
Good advice is often like fruitcake - we’ve all been given some but do we want it? Join us as we challenge seemingly good theories that lead to bad decisions in business, faith and family. We are Adrian Parker and Daryl Calfee, 40-year-old marketers fueled by a passion for humble, honest storytelling and recipients of master’s degrees in really dumb ideas. Luckily, we’ve worked with and for really amazing brands – Foot Locker, Nike, Moore & Giles Leather, Patrón Tequila, Kate Spade – while learning to embrace unconventional lessons. Normal ain’t working.
We’ll expose our scars and share stories on tough topics like making (and losing) money, juggling work and family, handling racial injustice, raising future adults and confronting Christianity’s hard questions. You’ll journey with us as we lead our teams, our businesses and ourselves by design, not default.
