    52 WoC – Week 14 – Career Discovery

    Sheesh! I keep running behind but I’m not giving up on this so here we go! One of the things that’s helped me figure out what I want in jobs was knowing what worked and what didn’t work in past jobs. So the question for today in the 52 Weeks of Contemplation, Career Discovery series…

    52 WoC – Week 13 – Career Discovery

    Well, I meant to post this last Wed but here we are playing catch up again. But, it’s ok because we’re in the era of not letting perfectionism stop us from doing the things that matter to us. Here we go… I’ve been having a lot of conversations with folks lately about careers. How to…

    Always Between Worlds

    Given all the layoffs, economic uncertainty, banks collapsing or on the verge of collapse, a dysfunctional and divicive political system, global conflicts, and so many other issues I’ve been thinking about what makes sense for me in terms of preparing for the future. Sure, I know you can’t have control of everything or know for…

  • A Strengths Shift

    A Strengths Shift

    As someone who has spent a lot of time getting to know myself, understanding what makes me unique, and how I operate in the world I had the opportunity to revisit my CliftonStrengths for work. I found I’ve actually taken the Top 5 assessment at both of my last jobs. In those cases my Top…

    52 WoC – Week 12 – Career Discovery

    If it’s not one thing it’s another. If you’ve been watching the news in the US, the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank is shaking up a lot of people and businesses. Add to that, Meta is laying off another 10,000 people and removing 5,000 open jobs over the next six months. Now I’m not…

    Ok so we’re catching up for missing last week and being late this week so you’re getting a couple posts off the regular timeline but hopefully starting next week I’ll be back on track to post Wednesday mornings. So, career discovery… I truly believe these questions can be so powerful in helping you understand what…

    52 WoC – Week 10 – Career Discovery

    Y’all, I somehow wasn’t thinking when I went out of town for work last week and completely forgot to get something together so I could post. I didn’t go far, just down to St. George in southern Utah, but it was a good trip and I enjoyed meeting folks in person for the first time…

    52 WoC – Week 9

    Y’all the snow storm that came through here, and other parts of the country, was wild. It reminded me of what snow storms used to look like when I first moved to Utah with my family when I was 12. Yeah, that was a long time ago but back then it would be normal to…

    52 WoC – Week 7

    Here we are at week seven of 52 Weeks of Contemplation. This week I’d like to pull a question from my chakra studies. The Bodhi Yoga 7 Chakras Mind and Body certification program has been a wonderful container for reflection and contemplation and I’ll share some questions this poses along the way in case you’d…
