The Future of Work is Now and Why it Matters to Career Practitioners

Work has changed...and continues to change. Career practitioners need to pay attention. There is much talk out there how millennials are forcing the change of work and I think they have been given too much credit. Many boomers like and want the changes too. (As do all the other generations). I believe our economy is changing and all generations are changing with it. This also means that companies need to be nimble in order to succeed and deal with these changes in our workforce. It appears to … [Read more...]

4 Areas to Explore to Help Your Clients Rebalance Their Life

When I first heard Geoff Pearman (workforce development consultant in New Zealand) use the term ‘rebalancing’ to describe how Boomers could look at the next phase of their lives, I knew I liked it. I have struggled with how to describe this time after leaving full-time employment to clients I work with, and now have embraced ‘rebalancing’ rather than retirement, “3rd age”, or whatever else is out there. This is a great way to look at ALL career changers as well. People don’t just stop living … [Read more...]

Less is Best

Less is best in most cases. We live with a tsunami of information and all we often need is a beach and an umbrella. Malcolm Gladwell in Blink says, "We live in a world saturated with information....The key to good decision making is not knowledge. It is understanding." So how do we take this enormous amount of information and turn this into understanding? One way to do this is to embrace the "less is best" motto and it will leave you with the clues to understanding. Malcolm Gladwell speaks to … [Read more...]

Prop Them Up Until They Get Their Balance

I heard this quote recently and it has been running through my head since. "Prop them up until they get their balance". It hit home to me as a career counselor and coach. Much of my work is helping people "get their balance" so they can move forward on their own. I love this visual, as I evolve from a "counselor" or "advisor" who gives something, to more of a "coach" who encourages my students and clients to look within and figure it out themselves. How did I prop someone up? Helped a … [Read more...]
