Our
Story
Throughout our journey, we discovered there are no hard and fast rules to the game of career and life planning. So we started The Chatty Lad to impart what we learned the hard way by sharing these tidbits the easier way.
Our Philosophy
The blueprint to success in the corporate world often means speaking up in a certain way and volume, and acting and looking a certain way. The hard truth is that this blueprint does not work for everyone, and it shouldn't.
If you are understated by culture, personality, gender, race, or industry, we are your career advocates. With a tailored and strategic approach, we can all stand out from the crowd and create a career we love.
Our philosophy is that anyone can succeed in the workplace by staying true to themselves while being strategic and of course, unapologetically you.
