But imagine if the candidate replied: “Of course. And is it okay if I contact a few of your former employees to ask why they left?” Suddenly the room gets a little quieter. The reality is that interviews work both ways. The company is interviewing the candidate… but the candidate is also interviewing the company to see if it’s a good fit for them. Culture, leadership, and respect matter just as much as skills and experience. The satirical reel I’m posting today has a little fun with that idea. What’s one question you think candidates should ask employers in an interview? #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #Hiring #LeadershipMatters #EmployeeExperience

Angie Clifton liked thisAngie Clifton liked thisAfter a lot of reflection, I’m excited to share that I’m looking for my next role. For the past 10 years, I’ve had the chance to lead operations and marketing for The Tina Team, where I’ve worn a lot of hats — from building and executing marketing strategies and listing campaigns, to overseeing events, to designing systems that make teams run smarter. I’ve especially loved the creative side of the work: developing content across print and digital, supporting sales teams with materials and presentations, and helping strengthen our online presence. One project I’m particularly proud of is building a real estate training program on Kajabi that’s now being used by brokerages nationwide. Creating that from the ground up reminded me how much I enjoy working at the intersection of training, design, marketing, and experience-building. Now, I’m ready to bring that creativity and momentum into a new opportunity. I’m focusing on roles in marketing, events, training, and design — especially positions where I can help craft strong brand experiences, build engaging learning or customer programs, and collaborate with a team that values both strategy and execution. If you know of a role that might be a fit, or a team that could use someone who is proactive, adaptable, and deeply creative, I’d truly appreciate a connection. Thank you for reading and for being part of my network. 🙏 #OpenToWork #Marketing #Events #Training #Design #CreativeOperations #CareerOpportunities

Named after Dr. Forrest “Phog” Allen, the Father of Basketball and legendary coach at my alma mater, The University of Kansas. This weekend I’m headed back to Lawrence to watch a football game in our brand-new Booth Stadium. Nothing beats the energy, tradition, and connection of college sports. Rock Chalk Jayhawk! 💙❤️ That’s why I love this season (yes football is a season) - it’s about so much more than the score: -Community -Shared traditions -Belonging that transcends differences So here’s my kickoff to the weekend: I named my dog Phog Allen. Your turn …tell me you’re a college sports fan without telling me you’re a college sports fan. 👇🏼 #college #ku #kansas #universityofkansas

Just like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, you become more of who you came to be. In 2020, when the pandemic hit I knew it was the perfect time to set flight to a butterfly goal. My forever Butterfly Goal was publishing a book. I didn’t have a traditional publisher, but I still went all in. Fueled by passion, I self published, sold and shipped 5,000 copies straight out of my garage. Here’s what I learned: when you commit to a Butterfly Goal, the stars align. The right people show up. The right doors open. The right opportunities take flight. I’m so excited that my self-published book is now published by Amplify Publishing Group and will be in bookstores 10.21.25 (just in time for my sons car to have a spot in the 3rd car garage that used to store books). Butterfly Goals don’t require perfection. They require courage, commitment, and a willingness to get uncomfortable. ✨ One bold step at a time. What’s the Butterfly Goal you’re ready to chase? #goals #leadership #keynotespeaker

Angie Clifton reacted on thisAngie Clifton reacted on this18 years ago today, I became a mom — and everything changed. Happy 18th birthday to my firstborn, Ben. 💛 Watching you grow into the young man you are today has been the greatest gift of my life. To my fellow working moms, here are 10 lessons motherhood (and Ben) have taught me about juggling career and family: 1️⃣ You can be a kick-ass mom and kick-ass in your career. These two things are not mutually exclusive — they can complement each other. 2️⃣ Your children want to see you win in life. They’re watching, and your success shows them what’s possible. 3️⃣ You’ll never regret easing off the gas in your career when your kids are young. You don’t get that time back. Choosing flexibility was the best decision I ever made. 4️⃣ Your kids don’t need your omnipresence, but don’t miss the big stuff. 5️⃣ Be ultra-present in the cracks. Talk in the car. No phones at breakfast or dinner. Little moments become big memories. 6️⃣ Share your work with your kids. Let them know what you’re building and why it matters. 7️⃣ Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Hire help when you need it. You don’t have to do it all. 8️⃣ Marry a partner who wants you to be who you came to be. I couldn’t have done this without Scott, who has supported me every step of the way. 9️⃣ Give yourself grace. Balance isn’t perfect — some seasons you’ll lean into work, others into family. Both are okay. 🔟 Don’t forget you. Pursue your passions, health, friendships, and joy. When you’re fulfilled, you show up as your best self for everyone else. Ben, thank you for making me a mom and teaching me so much about life, love, and leadership. Here’s to your next chapter — and here’s to all the working moms showing up every day in the best way they can. You’re doing better than you think. 💛 Keep shining - be who YOU came to be.

Angie Clifton liked thisAngie Clifton liked thisFriday may have been the most important keynote I’ve ever given. I had the opportunity to step onto a stage in front of an auditorium full of middle schoolers and high schoolers and also connect with 4th–6th graders about the power of being exactly who they came to be. My mom joined me to share our children’s book with the youngest group, K–3. It was truly a privilege to speak with these students about authenticity and the importance of emotional intelligence. But here’s the reality: 👉 According to the CDC, more than 40% of high school students report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. 👉 Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for ages 10–14 and 15–24. 👉 Teens today face pressures like never before ...academics, athletics, extracurriculars, and social media all weighing heavily on their mental health. That’s why this message matters. After my talk, students shared messages with me: 💫 “You helped me find my light.” ♥️ “Your words touched my heart.” Those words humbled me and reminded me why I do this work. And if you’re reading this, I want to remind you: -Yes, you matter. -Yes, you are enough. -The world needs your light. Even when times feel heavy, they will pass. Keep going. The world needs you to be who you came to be. Looking ahead, I’m thinking big. I want to partner with businesses and organizations to bring “Be Who You Came to Be™ Days” to schools across the country. IMAGINE: immersive days focused on mental fitness, authenticity, and emotional intelligence. We bring a day of self-acceptance and hope to students - combining assemblies, workshops, and even scholarships to give students the tools to not just survive, but to thrive. If we can reach our youth, we can change the trajectory of all of our futures. If you're curious about this at all - DM me!! Let's dream big together. Keep Shining - Be who you came to be. The world needs your light.

Angie Clifton reacted on thisAngie Clifton reacted on thisThis is my first and possibly last LinkedIn post. Sorry that it is personal in nature, but it is the quickest way I can pass this sad news on to my colleagues, contacts and clients, many of whom became friends during my career. As some of you know, I left the investigations business shortly after my wife Clare was diagnosed with motor neurone disease at Christmas 2021. I became her full-time carer during her fight against this horrendous disease. She faced it with courage, dignity and fortitude, even though it robbed her of the things she most valued in life – reading, talking with friends, passing on her views with wisdom, intelligence and kindness, and her independence. She lost the battle last week, passing away at a hospice in Esher. She leaves her devastated husband and three children behind her, but her legacy will live on through the wonderful kids that were everything to her. The old cliché is that life is too short, and that proved to be the case for Clare. You never think these things will happen to you. We all live frantic, pressurised professional lives, doing things because we think they will be good for our career. It has become painfully clear to me that we must treasure our health, our partners, our children, our families, our friends, and even our adversaries. Even more so now we live in times of significant global intolerance, and it has never been so important to be kind to and understanding of others. Miss that conference to spend time with your family. Go home early to watch your child’s play. Be present for your friends. Realise that behind every front door most people have significant personal challenges. Before it is too late.
