Clients Stuck in the Job Search? Now What Do You Do?

Do you have clients who are stuck in the job search? I’m sure you do. Here is one way to help nudge them and hopefully create some excitement to move forward. When I have a client who is stuck in the job search I have them create a list of 50 companies they could see themselves working for or would like to explore working for them. Oftentimes, clients feel overwhelmed with where to start, confused, can’t see themes to explore in their job search, or for whatever reason, are just plain stuck … [Read more...]

My Career Inspiration for 2019

My career inspiration for 2019 starts by choosing three words to guide me throughout the year.     By choosing 3 words to guide and inspire me, rather than creating specific goals, I get career inspiration in a variety of ways, both personally and professionally.  When I think about "career" it is in its broadest definition as defined by Donald Super. A career is defined as the combination and sequence of roles played by a person during the course of a lifetime. It concerns … [Read more...]

Feels different. Looks different, smells different. It will be a … [Read more...]

Why Should You Consider Online Professional Development

Online professional development has become one of my “go to” ways to learn. I can’t believe I have been teaching online for 17 years! I began with the Facilitating Career Development (FCD) class when Cathy Van Dyke and I combined the face-to-face class with a “home built” discussion board. This kind of hybrid course was very new then. I have since added online seminars using a learning management system called Haiku LMS. Providing online professional development has become a cornerstone of my … [Read more...]

Why Relationship Building is so Important

Relationship Building requires time, energy, and consistent interaction. Relationship building is where you can move your career forward. It is more than “networking” or communicating with your “connections”. Both these words, “networking” and ”connections” feel hollow to me. A “network”  has an old school feel to it like something business people do to sell something. A “connection” almost feels like a number to me. A “relationship” is something that feels stronger and has more give and … [Read more...]
