I believe in empowering my team and giving them the opportunity to grow and excel —even when they had no specific experience. Here’s one such story: Early on at Old Park Lane Capital, we were a very small team (with very big ambitions). We were interviewing for an entry level role and I was just shocked by the communication skills that one bright young candidate had. Instead of hiring them into the entry level role they were applying for, I suggested they spend some time shadowing our settlements, research, corporate broking, and sales teams before making their decision. This gave the candidate a deeper understanding of our business and —as it happens— sparked a real passion for corporate broking. Recognising their potential, we offered the candidate a role in that department. They flourished, exceeding all expectations. The experience taught me a valuable lesson: sometimes, the most promising talent isn't immediately apparent on paper. By taking a chance and offering opportunities for exploration, you can uncover hidden gems and build a team that surpasses your wildest expectations. Then, by consistently providing guidance, support, and a clear vision, you can create a culture of excellence and achieve remarkable results. Financial firms don’t usually do this. I actually did this with most entry level associates who performed well. I would simply ask them if they would like a chance to be in any other departments. In the end, I had several entry level roles that performed brilliantly in other areas of the business. I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t simply give someone else a *chance.* It could pay you back 10-fold. #leadership #teambuilding #empowerment

CEO | Wealth Markets Coaching & Mentoring, Positive Psychology An Advisor’s success is intricately dependent on the success of their Associate.
Investment Advisor Assistant Sales Assistant Client Associate Associate Financial Advisor Associate Investment Advisor Associate No matter what your industry title is we all do the same work. We all undergo the same type of stress, some managing it better than others! Today I invite you to think about this question. If you could change one thing about your job, that would positively impact all the other things about your job, what would that be? I'll share mine first! When I was an investment advisor assistant it would have been to establish boundaries healthily and respectfully. As a recovering people pleaser, I often felt resentment in my role because I couldn't articulate what I needed and what was right for me. Gratefully, all that has changed and it can for you too.

If you were entertaining a new opportunity with a PE backed company, how likely would you be to "trade" a portion of guaranteed annual cash compensation for equity? What factors would influence this decision? As recruiters, the Purple Squirrel Advisors team is often in the position of guiding candidates through negotiations, determining how their needs and interests match with the company’s. This decision isn’t just about the numbers, it’s about aligning incentives and beliefs. A few factors that might influence this decision include: 1️⃣ Long-Term Vision – Are you drawn to the potential for exponential growth and value creation over time, or do you prioritize immediate financial security? 2️⃣ Risk Appetite: How comfortable are you with the potential risks associated with equity? Does the PE firm’s track record and growth strategy mitigate or amplify the risk? 3️⃣ Alignment of Interests: Do you believe in the company’s mission and vision? Are you confident in the leadership team and their ability to execute strategic plans? 4️⃣ Market Conditions: What’s the broader economic landscape? How might the industry trends and market volatility impact the potential value of equity? 5️⃣ Personal Financial Situation: How does this decision fit into your overall financial strategy? Are you willing to diversify your portfolio with an equity stake? What factors do you consider when contemplating a new opportunity? How do you manage the balance between guaranteed compensation and equity ownership? Please share your thoughts, and questions!

🦉 Integrity, intelligence, and energy- these are the three qualities Warren Buffett believes are essential when looking for people to hire. But when it comes to building our future, should we not also consider the values of doing good things and helping one another? So, who do you work for? And more importantly, who do you want to work for- another job or a team? As we navigate our careers, let's remember the importance of aligning our values with those of our employer. Together, we can create a better future for ourselves and those around us.

Recruiting Corner: Do’s and Don’ts for Diligencing a New Role 💼 PE-backed executives: Selecting the right deal can make the difference between achieving millions in equity or derailing a PE-backed executive #career. Follow these 6 tips to amp up your diligence game to select your next role and portfolio company — and prevent turning what looks like a dream job into a nightmare. Don’t: Believe Everything You Hear ↳ Make sure you align with the sponsor’s goals and that those goals make sense in context of the current market before accepting a role. Speak with current and former management team members to unfold the many complexities behind the default information provided. Do: Dig Beneath the Surface ↳ You’re interviewing the management team and sponsor as much as they’re interviewing you. Dive into trends, recent board packets, and quarterly results to avoid equity pitfalls. Seeking specific details beats assumptions; thorough interviews with management reveal market challenges and growth prospects. Your attention to detail will earn the respect of good sponsors. Don’t: Discount Culture ↳ A toxic work #culture or incompatible sponsor-management partnership can be just as derailing as any financial challenge. Make sure you believe in the mission and ethics of the business and can collaborate well with both the sponsor’s governance style and your fellow CXOs before accepting a role. Do: Network, Network, Network! ↳ Always verify your information externally — otherwise, information may be unintentionally biased at best or willfully misleading at worst. Previous members of the management team, industry experts, and investment bankers are all outside resources who can provide information on both fund dynamics and market conditions. Don’t: Ignore Red Flags ↳ Earning a PE-backed role is often difficult, and it can be tempting to accept an offer even if it doesn’t represent an excellent fit. But taking a role that is an operational mismatch only hurts your career and limits you from better #opportunities. Do: Use our Nine Dimensions of Governance Fit® Diligence Tool We developed the Nine Dimensions of Governance Fit® based on executive feedback to help leaders choose sponsors they’ll work best with and drive alignment throughout the hold period. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/eUWj5mFn Executives, what's your top advice when it comes to conducting diligence for your next role? #privateequity #careerdevelopment #networking #hiring #leadership

Your hiring manager will be your best champion — they are invested in your growth and success. If and when that person moves on, the manager who inherits you is more likely to capitalize on that investment. Don't be surprised if your second, third and fourth managers at a company (despite their best intentions) aren't always as invested as your first.

Connecting Finance Leaders with Top Talent | Host of The Numbers People Podcast | Honest No BS Recruiter | I Tell It Like It Is | Co-Founder Of One Of The Best 5 Star Rated Finance Recruitment Agency in Sydney
You have years of incredible, progressive experience. You're not just ambitious - you're a trailblazer. Your track record of excellence is undeniable. Maxed out where you are, you have fresh horizons in your eyes. You spot your dream role. BUT You don't get an interview or even an initial conversation. WHY? Because you don't have industry experience. How stupid of you to think you can understand the complexities of: Making and selling food. Constructing a building. Importing a product from overseas and then selling it. Servicing a contract. Your ability to think strategically, manage teams, solve complex problems, build relationships, or execute plans doesn't matter. How dare you be so silly! Talent from Europe, the USA, and Asia - they're bewildered by this uniquely Australian roadblock. Isn't it high time we deem this 'industry experience' myth obsolete? I have placed numerous candidates into industries where they had no industry experience. Not one of them failed or struggled. Not one. You can even say they tried even harder to prove themselves. To assume that your sharpened skills would magically evaporate in a new industry is nothing short of a farce. It's ludicrous. ------- I'm Richard, Co-Founder of HPR, a 5-star rated Accounting and Finance recruiter in Sydney. For the best finance talent, please reach out. Follow for more recruitment insights.
