“You are the laboratory and every day is an experiment. Go and find what is new and unexpected.” – Joel Elkes, 20th Century father of neuropsychopharmacology

Well, welcome to 2022 – it’s going to be a wild ride!

Many of you choose a one-word intention for the year.

This year I pondered many deep thoughts and wound up at “surfing.”

No, we’re not talking about the beach – although that would be nice!


“Surfing” is a term I learned from Shirzad Chamine, author of Positive Intelligence.

The idea behind surfing is to let go of control. To realize that trying to control our world impedes better ways of thinking and solving problems – what Shirzad calls "accessing our Sage powers."

 

Given that we’ve already had to reschedule events this year due to unexpected circumstances (and it's only the 14th of January), it is the perfect word for the year!

Surfers don’t just go with the flow. They look ahead and strategically choose a line that will move them in the direction they want to go.

Then, when they inevitably wipe out, they take a breath and paddle with intention to catch the next wave.

I’m not an expert surfer (literally or figuratively), but I’m going to try! What's your one word for 2022? Are you a fellow Positive Intelligence fan? Reply and let me know!


So, what waves are happening here at CTL and RWA?

We moved A Strengths-Based Approach: Coaching What's Strong vs. What's Wrong to January 28, 2022, and are excited to meet Jennifer James who co-teaches the Academies strengths-based coaching program with Susan Britton.

We pushed the start date for our Certified Personal Branding Strategist program to Thursday, March 3rd, so we can be ready with our new materials.


What hasn’t changed?

Trend Tuesdays are back next week and we’ll have a guest! One of my long-time recruiter connections Eric Lea from Robert Half will be sharing salary trends and preictions.

The Certified Career Transition Coach program is still starting January 26, 2022, and we have a great group forming to get strategies and tools for guiding clients in career decision-making and transition.

The 2022 Symposium is still on, in person, April 10-13, 2022. We are talking with the facility in Philadelphia and will be taking COVID precautions like masks and complying with the city of Philadelphia’s vaccination requirements for public establishments.

We’re in for an adventure in 2022 and I’m glad you’re here to surf with me!

I look forward to seeing you soon.
