My thoughts
Have you noticed any trouble focusing lately? With the number available distractions increasing daily, it can be hard to keep track of your goals. In this video, we discuss the benefits of maintaining focus, as well as ways to prioritize focus.
What does feedback mean to you? As the year-end approaches, this question may become more relevant to you. In this video, we discuss the role feedback plays in our careers and our lives.
A lot of people are leaving their careers, among other things, because they find no more satisfaction in what they are doing. And after they leave, people are either jumping into entirely different jobs and mastering new skills, or taking on courses toward new certifications and degrees.
Are you considering completely changing your career? It’s a big decision and hesitation is normal. Committing to a life change can take time to actualize. It took me almost five years to leave my corporate career and make my biggest career (and life) pivot.
Let's talk about change. We've been going through a lot of change, and each time we adjust, more disruptions and more unsettling news seems to come at us. So how can we learn to embrace change, and perhaps even thrive from it?
Change can be overwhelming. In this video, we go over some tips on how to approach change and not be fearful of it.
Most of us come to work wearing our most grown-up personas possible. We put on our pressed shirts and stiffest shoes, our serious faces and we’re heads down focusing on time, dates, deliverables, budgets, and all those other “officially adult” tasks in our day.
Does making a career change make you happier? I coached my client Letitia through stepping away from the "corporate swirl" into an entirely different life and career. Watch her video to see how she feels now that she's switched gears with the help of coaching.
A slow, locked-down summer is the perfect time to think change. The “doldrums” refers to the area around the equator where sailors can get stuck without wind, often for weeks. This maritime occurrence forces sailing ships to halt their journeys and wait for the air to shift.
Some of us will be heading back into the office soon, while some will continue working from home indefinitely, or, as boldly proposed by Twitter and Square, forever. But does that mean our careers will stagnate? How will we learn to lead or prove ourselves in this new virtual frontier?
I would like to offer some thoughts about the meaning of careerism, and the importance of pausing to allow serendipity to blossom. While these observations arise from a significant life change for me, I believe they also apply in daily business life.
