"Wisdom is a living stream, not an icon preserved in a museum. Only when we find the spring of wisdom in our own life can it flow to future generations" - Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist monk & peace activist

Have you ever thought about what profoundly changes our beliefs and actions?

Many of us have learned we need to change our beliefs to change our actions and get different results. A colleague coach and trainer – Sherry Yellin – recently shared that to impact change we need to take this a step deeper.

That to really change our beliefs, we need to have a new experience.

This is why incorporating exercises in our client engagements, webinars, and other work is so important – they open the door for clients to have a new experience, which can build a new belief, spark new actions, and get different results.

What are you doing to create new experiences for clients? What are you doing to create new experiences for yourself?

I’m excited to include some of these new ideas in Career Thought Leaders and Resume Writing Academy courses, including our upcoming Certified Career Transition Coach program.

Are you ready to create new experiences for your clients and create better outcomes? Join us!
