I learned early in life to turn your disadvantages into opportunities, which helped me launch my own recruiting firm at a young age. I ran Downs & Associates before partnering with Lindsay Olson to grow Paradigm. Together we have grown Paradigm to be a leading recruiting firm specializing in the public relations, marketing, communications, social media & sales industries. Our clients include both private and public corporations as well as agencies. We place people nationwide, at all levels, from Account Executive to CMO. I love working with top talent and helping organizations find the right match, resulting in both sides finding success. I can be reached via email at jolie@paradigmstaffing.com.
Through Paradigm, I host the Career Wanderlust podcast, where we discuss strategies on how to successfully navigate your evolving career. I talk with industry leaders about their most compelling career advice and impactful stories. We aim to highlight unique experiences while sharing pearls of wisdom that could positively impact other people.
I am also the creator and host of the podcast, Thriving After 40, where we tackle the big question – how do you create your most authentic, successful, and fulfilling life? In each episode, we discuss the story and life lessons of one person who is thriving in the second half of their life. The goal is to provide growth, insight, and inspiration around what we are all truly capable of through the sharing of personal stories.
I love sharing the impactful insights I have learned and one of my favorite ways is through speaking engagements. I am a professional speaker giving speeches on a variety of topics such as overcoming Imposter Syndrome, The Universal Truths to Creating your Most Authentic, Successful, and Fulfilling Life, Easy Mind Hacks, Thriving & Soaring in Your Career, and a Successful Life Mindset among others. I can accommodate most motivational and career-related topics.
My absolute passion and devotion to personal development have led me to complete a variety of programs and learnings that I apply in all coaching aspects. I am always enrolled in some type of program so that I am consistently learning something new. I am an Evercoach by Mindvalley certified Life Coach and have earned a certification in meditation. I provide individual, group, and retreat coaching. Check out my Thriving Group Coaching Program and inquire about the dates for the next round.
I am also a co-founder of HooJobs, a niche job board for the public relations, communications, and social media community.
I have an inherent curiosity and desire to see people happy, giving me the perfect combination for discovering key motivations and making those successful matches in my work and in life. I love developing long-lasting and close relationships, ready to help in any way possible. Relationships are important to me and I still work with the first clients I ever brought on, oh so many years ago.
A bucket list believer, I love planning for the next exciting and fun adventure or experience. I’m always adding new ideas and checking items off the list. I love experiencing new things. My life loves include family and friends, Melody the Mini Golden Doodle, reading (I read well over 60 books a year), travel (I feel lost if there isn’t a trip to be excited about and planning for), being at the beach/lake/river, live music and dancing, meditation, personal development, playing games, making videos, learning something new and working towards my life goals.
I am a creator at the core. I love creating, whatever that may be, the process of building and creating something from nothing brings me happiness and immense satisfaction.
Let’s work together, I can help you create the life you were meant to live or help you find the best talent to build the team of your dreams. Contact me.
