"Ego says, 'Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel inner peace.' Spirit says, 'Find your inner peace and then everything will fall into place.'" - Marianne Williamson |

When I graduated from college my first job was in the sport club office at Colorado State. I'd worked there as a student and had the opportunity to stay on as temporary professional staff for a year. I loved guiding students to be creative as they raised and managed funds to operate the club, mentoring them as they learned how to lead and hire, and attending their events.
When they hired for the permanent role, it required a masters degree I didn't have at the time. So I coordinated and participated in the hiring process for what was at the time my dream job. Did you have a "dream job" before getting into the careers industry? |
|
|
That same year I was accepted into the Sport Management program at the University of Tennessee. As I evaluated my options, I took stock about what made the sport club role so satisfying. Was it the sports? Although I do enjoy them, that wasn't it. What I loved about the role was mentoring, coaching, creating problem solving, and building relationships with the students. Plus, a great boss who gave me space to do all of this fairly independently.
It was this realization that led me to apply to graduate school in the School of Education and eventually decide to pursue career work.
Dream jobs are funny that way. Identifying what really makes it fulfilling can be difficult. Teasing out the skills, values, and interests and weighing them to find the driving forces.
How do you help your clients weigh these factors in their career decisions? What role do you think passion, skills, values, and other elements play in career decisions?
Join me on Trend Tuesday next week to look at the trending conversations and the latest data around passion, purpose, and career fulfillment.
Marie Zimenoff
CEO, Career Thought Leaders
P.S. You can get tools to walk your clients through their personal brand foundation -- including strengths, values, purpose, passion, and more -- in the Certified Personal Branding Strategist program starting August 23.

A vast majority of the working population are re-evaluating how work fits into their life. They feel like a career change might help them find more meaningful work, but they aren't sure where to start or what that even means.
This is putting pressure on leaders to retain talent in new ways, requiring a level of empathy and authenticity many aren't prepared for.
Thankfully, they have you! Career services providers, coaches, and writers are uniquely positioned to help these individuals unearth the compass to direct these life-altering choices.
We can help them find the themes, understand how they relate to their key stakeholders, and communicate in the right language.
Are you looking for more tools to help clients achieve this clarity and be poised for not only the next step in their career but armed with the tools they need to be agile and thriving throughout their career?
If you want to finally have the tools and confidence you need to:
- lead clients through more transformational engagements
- articulate a unique value proposition to stand out in a crowded coaching market (and help clients stand out from their peers)
- have a repeatable process and structure so you can focus on each client and know every client will get outstanding results
- attract more ideal clients and make more money with a done-for-you, customizable personal branding strategy business
Then it’s time to become a Certified Personal Branding Strategist!
