Getting a Little Help from Our Friends
The Beatles song, “With a Little Help From My Friends,” from the Sergeant Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band, somehow has had an interesting twist for me lately. Because of quarantine, the friends that give me the most comfort these days are my “furry friends.”
Hunt for Meaning and Purpose
We always have choices in how we chose to respond to change. We can resist by kicking and screaming or we can choose to respond in a more constructive way.
Dandelions: Turning Weeds into Hope and Beauty
Dandelions, also known as Chicory, are masters of survival. They can take root in places that seem a little short of miraculous and I believe we all can do that, too. We can survive the most difficult situations as our own masters of survival.
Reinventing Our Careers
To adjust your Career path, take this opportunity to learn new skills and pursue interests that have been on the back burner. The internet is full of instructional videos/coaching and or training platforms that are just a click away.
Take the Time to Do It Right: There Are No Shortcuts to Success!
Personal courage is not the absence of fear. It is the ability to put fear aside and do what is necessary.
Asking Better Questions to Prepare for the New Work World
In the New Work World, if you are serious about securing a job or making a career shift, you will have to “put the pedal to the metal” to really be proactive and make a strong commitment to being able to stand out above the competition
Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone–Building Resilience in the New Work World
The following tips are ones that I feel may help you during these fearful times. They are tips that I have heard from a variety of sources that have helped employees and employers cope with having to step out of their comfort zone and build resilience in the New Work World.
Doing a Self-Inventory on Your Resume for the New Work World
If I had to summarize in a very simple way, the message you need to keep in mind when redoing your resume is this: Your resume needs to reflect more about how your skills can make a contribution to this “New Work World,” as opposed to what you have accomplished in the past.
The Hunt for Happiness—the Perfect Storm
I think we all start out on our journey in life with a vision of who we are, who we want to be and where we want to go. Then life happens, or “really happens.”
Take the Time to Do It Right
In our previously busy “normal” lives, we didn’t really have time to, perhaps, stop in our tracks and re-evaluate the various aspects of higher education. Now, this virus has forced our educators to reimagine how we will deliver an engaging and holistic learning experience for students. It just might give us time to think about “doing it right” in many respects.
Ask Not What Your Company Can Do for You
I don't think we're going to ever go back to the normal as we knew it, but rather to a new normal that will foster much more collaboration and teamwork.
Asking Better Questions for Our New Normal Work World
Asking Better Questions is the 4th Step of the Faremouth Method.
The Quest for the Human Element
In this Shelter-In-Place and Post-COVID-19 Phase of the work world we are facing now, Employers, Recruiters, and Candidates will have to HUNT FOR THE HUMAN ELEMENT in the employment world to accomplish a more harmonious working environment in the coming weeks and months as we get back to work.
Revolutionary Times
With the stay in place order, there is a dramatic change. In our work worlds. Most of us have been forced to work from home. And I'm getting many calls these days, from candidates and employers wondering if things will ever be the same or go back to business as usual. With any revolution, there is always change. The only constant in life is change, and it isn't always bad.
Changing Our Mindset in Tough Times
Even if you have to readjust your current position or your current situation, be assured that the experience you will now encounter will be a stepping stone for you in the future. Let's all get to work right now to change our mindset.
Asking Better Questions in Tough Times
I think there's a big dragon inside of each of us at this time, that it's called the Fear Dragon, that we need to take out a sword and slay about how we're going to get through this because we have to believe we will get through this.
Building a Solid Foundation
Everything relies on a solid foundation, from buildings we work and live in to the roads we drive on and the tracks that trains run on, we simply can't function without the right foundations in place. If we are too focused on the superficial, we can end up with a faulty foundation that eventually falls apart. We need to take the time to do it right.
Know Thyself
We don't have to wait for a catastrophic event in our lives to force us into our own self-inventory. Perhaps now is the time for introspection. The first step of the Faremouth Method™, Do a Self-inventory, may lead you to become the very best version of who you are.
Slay the Dragon
What is that one big variable that keeps us all doing the same old thing? Day after day, month after month? And maybe even year after year? Why is it so hard for so many of us to step out of our comfort zone?
