"Even in the longest life, real living is the least portion thereof." - Seneca, Roman stoic philosopher |

Summer is nearing its end here in the Northern Hemisphere and the 4th quarter of 2022 is upon us. College campuses are busy with new and returning students - some realizing for the first time that they'll have to find a job this year! This was always my favorite time of year on campus. Although the relative quiet of the summer had its perks, the buzz of students in the halls has a contagious energy. A similar phenomenon happens at this time of year in my private practice as September leads to an uptick in activity and renewed focus for clients.
What are you looking forward to for the end of the year? What goals do you want to finish up for 2022?

One of the most transformational lessons I've learned in my life is to balance "action" or "input" goals and "outcome" or "results" goals. The lesson came in an unexpected place -- my husband and I's fertility struggle, which lasted for nearly 5 years before we finally got pregnant. In this struggle, as with many others, you learn that you don't have control over some things in life. What you do have control over? The actions you take and the your attitude and reactions to what happens to you (or doesn't). I realized that I had to let go of the outcome and focus on the actions I could and was willing to take. One of my mentors calls this "committed, but not attached." I was committed to taking action, but not attached to the outcome. This is a helpful stance in our goals for a few reasons: 1. We focus on the actions regardless of the outcomes, making us more consistent in taking the action and more motivated to do so regardless of the outcomes. 2. We can be flexible and better see evolving opportunities -- and perhaps even better outcomes than we could have imagined -- because we aren't caught up in a specific outcome. While having a vision of the result can be motivating, continuing to evolve that vision and building strong action-based goals to get there can help maintain that motivation through challenging times.
In addition to looking toward the end of the year, we're in final preparations for the 2023 Symposium. This effort has also required a focus on actions instead of outcomes. Over the last 3 years I learned the Symposium is not as predictable as it once was. I'm hopeful and yet planning adaptability and fighting a bit of hesitation to plan anything that far out. We have speaker confirmations coming in ... watch your email on Tuesday for an exciting announcement!

SEPT 21 | Last Faster, Land Better: Job Search Strategies for 2022 & Beyond |
|
|
With new recruiting technologies, increased virtual and remote recruiting, and new job search tools, there is no denying that job search has changed in the last few years.
And some aspects of a fruitful search continue to stand the test of time - like the importance of networking to be the referred candidate and demonstrating qualifications and fit in a resume, LinkedIn profile, and job search approach.
For seven years we've been honing an approach and training coaches to guide clients in executing a proactive job search. As virtual job search became the norm and networking morphed, we restructured the process and are ready to give you new tools, scripts, and processes you can use with clients!
After this session you will walk away with:
- Structure for building a plan for your client's VOYAGE to proactive job search
- Tools to focus and craft a marketing plan for every client
- Coaching questions to uncover the fears underlying stalled job search
- A process for making networking tangible and actionable for every client
- Coaching tools to help clients execute their job search their way (resulting in faster action and better results!)
Registration includes access to the recording to watch any time you'd like, resources to use with your clients, additional research reports, and a community of colleagues to share questions and insights about the materials.
