Don't Think You Can Wing it!!


The phrase for the week is "Don’t Wing It”

Design your career path by first developing a written plan. The process I recommend couldn’t be easier.  I take the basic elements of a business plan and apply those to brand “You.”    

Be clear on your strengths and how they align with your passion for the profession you’ve chosen. Knowing your values will help you seek employers or clients that are a comfortable fit. Do your research and perform your own SWOT analysis (strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats).

In the planning phase, spend an adequate amount of time using the research to support your plan. Consider all possible outcomes and how you will respond. Hold yourself accountable by creating an action plan with deadlines.

Tap into your passions and signal to the world you are here and ready to realize your destiny. 

I use all my resources to develop a career plan that aligns with my values.

Look Again!!!

The phrase for the week is "look beyond the obvious." Many of us remember this photo from a classroom where the teacher was making a point that one person can see an old woman, while another sees a young woman.   Each will be confident they are right and the other wrong.   They can even point to the evidence that’s so “obvious.”   Of course, the truth is, they are both right, because in this illustration, there is an old woman and young woman.   Often in our lives we make snap judgments and act on what we believe are truths.   Truths that are so “obvious.”   It is only when we are forced to hit the pause button and challenge ourselves to consider other perspectives that we are able to grow and enrich our lives.   Looking beyond the obvious allows us to find deeper meaning in the world around us and uncover unexpected truths.       I will find deeper meaning in ...

The Word for the Week is "Flexibility"

Be flexible in every way this week! Yes, there is a right way and a wrong way to build flexibility.   It starts with our own emotional intelligence and how we react to change--it’s our behavior.   I’ve only heard “be more flexible” when someone is trying to convince me to do something I don’t agree with. And, since no one is perfect, and being flexible and adaptable are learned and not inherent in our DNA, do we have to work like an Olympic gymnast to develop these mental muscles? The good news?   No!   We can become more flexible without the rigor of a daily six-hour workout.   The bad news?   Yes!   We must be committed, aware of our own limitations and work through the pain to achieve medal-winning behavioral change. We find we are more flexible in certain situations.   For example, I’m more flexible when the dentist moves closer to my mouth with the drill.   I’m less flexible when I order apple pie and receive chocolate cake. ...
