She was shot down for a promotion.

“That’s ok,” she told herself….”I didn’t want to work that hard or play those ridiculous office politics, anyway!”

Just under the surface, she was crushed.

Deep down, under her rationalizing brain, her mind began to spin.

Thoughts and feelings of all the times she was ignored, overlooked,

even mocked for being her.

All those feelings came streaming out.

Not to worry, she knew exactly how to suppress them.

Wine with friends, they will understand and so, a night out bitching together,

10 Ways To Networking Success NOW!

You Really Must Network Like this for Your Career

We have all heard it, “networking is essential for success.”

I talk about networking all the time with my clients. Heck, it brought me so many opportunities and successes that I can’t even imagine keeping my head down and ignoring this basic essential success tool.

Ready.Aim.Wire. Your Career Success

Every day I see it. Career Success that was once imagined impossible. Career Success that was thought out of reach.

Are we supposed to find meaning in our work?

Maybe that is just for nomads, coaches, authors, yogis?

Meaning is the exact goal we all look for in life and YES! It can be found in our work. When meaning is found in work we feel a high vibrational energy, feels like LOVE.

The feelings like LOVE cause chemicals in our body to soothe and make us feel great. Why, then wouldn’t we want CAREER LOVE?

We work at least 8 hours a day and if we are not feeling love,

Happy New You! New You all Year Long.

Happy New YOU!

Each year, same old resolutions come and go and they are written about why they fail. Perhaps now you settle into a simple promise that you know you can keep.

“I will be more sincere this year.” And as soon as you say it your gremlin mind begins to take over! “You know you can’t be that way at work!” “You know you can’t be that way with Sally!” (Friend who needs your shoulder to cry on and you never get anything from her.)
