July Highlights with Talent Coaching and Consulting: Growth, Giving, and Great Reads

As July comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a month full of insight, inspiration, and impact here at Talent Coaching and Consulting. Summer may be a time to slow down, but we kept things moving with thoughtful content, meaningful contributions, and new beginnings. Here’s a look back at what we’ve been up to:

✈️ Navigating Vacation Guilt

We kicked off July by talking about something many professionals face but rarely address: vacation guilt. Our post shared practical tips to help you unplug without the shame spiral—because rest isn’t a reward, it’s a right.

🎓 Passing the SHRM-CP Exam

Next up: celebrating HR success. We shared a post for tackling the SHRM-CP exam, offering encouragement, strategy, and a reminder that certification is a big milestone—one worth acknowledging!

❤️ Passion vs. Profession

This month, we challenged the idea that your job has to be your passion. We explored on our blog why it's okay (and often healthier) to find fulfillment outside of work, and how decoupling identity from career can lead to a more balanced life on.

📚 Launching Our Book Club

Big news: we started a book club! While it’s a little casual (think: “book club of sorts”), we’re diving into great reads that spark reflection, conversation, and maybe a bit of coaching-style growth. More to come—so stay tuned if you’re a fellow reader!

🎆 Giving Back

July also gave us the opportunity to give back in small but meaningful ways:

• We donated to Feeding America in honor of the 4th of July.
• On Camp Day, we supported Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, helping youth reach their potential through life-changing camp experiences.

Looking Ahead

We’re heading into August with fresh ideas, new coaching conversations, and even more content to support your personal and professional journey. Whether you're here to grow your team or grow yourself, we’re glad you’re with us.

Stay curious, stay kind—and enjoy the rest of your summer!
