Greetings!

I hope you had a great Easter this past Sunday. I had a nice & productive one. I watched a Joel Osteen sermon "Tell yourself a new story", took a walk outside, did 2-10 minute 3 pound weight sculpting Pilates DVD's, got a lot of things done at the house, watched 2 movies, and read more of my latest book.

I'll share some of Joel's half hour sermon "Tell yourself a new story" which I feel can help you in your life & career:

When you get your story in line with what God says, you'll be able to do things you'd never be able to make happen. Your gifts, talents, & experience can't come out the way they should because of the story you're telling yourself.

Don't let the wrong story hold you from your greatness. God has already written all the days of our lives. Could it be the wrong story is holding you from rising higher? Victory starts in your mind. The scripture says, "Be careful how you think because your thoughts run your life." Keep the right story playing in your mind. The story you tell yourself will come to pass.

You may have a good reason to have a negative story. But, you have to dig down deep and delete that negative story and believe things will change.

You need to tell yourself, "I will get well, I will lend & not borrow, I will break this addiction, I will accomplish my dreams."

Give God something to work with. You can't see your new story when you got the negative story playing. Sometimes we have a false sense of humility; everyone else is great, smarter, prettier, or more talented. You can't keep discounting yourself. God put gifts in us. You need to tell yourself, "I am valuable, I am favored, people love being around me."

We have enough people that are against us. Don't be against yourself as well.

Don't deny your problems or weaknesses, tell yourself a new story.

Regardless of what experience level you are (senior-level or executive-level) 2 sets of edits are also included in the price as well as a brand-new 2-page resume would be created either for a specific job the client is applying for, a career field, or just an updated resume in general. 2 sets of edits are defined as the client looking at the first draft and if there are any edit(s) that they'd like made, I would make them as long as it doesn't involve me developing a brand-new resume. Then a revised draft would be provided with the first set of edit(s) (if applicable) and the second set of edit(s) (if applicable) would take place and I would make them as long as it's not developing another resume.

 A senior-level resume is for any individual who's either pursuing/staying in ANY manager position that's not higher level management (higher level management defined as any C-level position (i.e., CEO, CMIO, etc.) OR Director role). A senior-level resume is also for individuals who have 15 year's experience in the career field/job they're staying in/pursuing and doesn't have to be a manager role. This 2-page resume would be emailed to you in Microsoft Word & 2 sets of edits are included in the price (refer to above for definition of "2 sets of edits"). This resume is normally $338.08 with the debit/credit card fee I'm charged to process your card, but with the $10 off discount & with the debit/credit card fee the price would be $327.54 so I can net my $320 rate.

​We often associate success with hard work and patient dedication to a specific discipline. But when things aren’t working in your favor, sometimes success calls for career reinvention, according to author Arthur Brooks. How can we make the jump to a new profession less daunting? To start, accept when you see your competence or motivation at work declining, Brooks advises. Then you can identify the steps you need to take to pivot, instead of just hoping that things will change for the better.

It's never too late to catch your second career wind.

I was having lunch with a friend today who told me about her friend who became a flight attendant after raising her two kids. At the age of 50, she made her dreams come true.

What's preventing you from achieving your dream job?

Are you buying into the mantra that at your age, no one will hire you?

Are you ready to do whatever it takes to pivot successfully?

Here are some tips to help you make a career jump feel less daunting:

1. Fully commit to making a change.

2. Be realistic in terms of how long it will take for you to land your dream position.

3. Get rid of the naysayers in your life who are telling you that you'll never be able to pivot.

4. Find a coach who can guide you through the process of successfully making a career transition.


Enjoy the journey!

Have you been sticking to a certain career field or job because that's all you know but know you want to do something else but aren't sure what?

Were you recently laid off or in between jobs and need a better direction on which types of jobs would be best suited for you?

Do you think you have too many interests and aren't sure which is the better route to go?

Are you curious to know what my career proprietary career personality test would recommend for you even though you know you're on the right path?

Or did you finally just recently obtain a job to pay to the bills, but is temporary and/or something you're not going to do long-term and would like to see what other options are out there?

If you said "Yes" to any of my questions above, I've got a proprietary 64-question career personality test that can provide a detailed analysis of your personality, at least 4 recommended career fields for you, & how my test is different than others you've taken is that mine will also provide recommended training for your recommended career fields. So, for example, if "Technology" was one of your recommended career fields with my test, my test would suggest you could attend DeVry University for training.

This test is normally with sales tax & the credit/debit card fee included (recall the processing fee I'm charged to process your payment when paying with a debit/credit card so that I can net my actual rate), $149.20 but until 11:55 pm Pacific Standard Time TOMORROW, Thursday, March 3, 2022 you can get my test for 50% off which would be $75.11. 

After taking your test and looking at your results, you can *optionally* decide to debrief & consult with me by asking me any questions you may have via a phone call that we would schedule. This *optional* consulting would be available at a rate of $2 per minute plus the debit/credit card fee I described above that I'm charged to process your card & you can purchase your desired time length below:

30 minutes = $60 ($64.04 with the card fee included)

60 minutes = $120 ($127.28 with card fee included)
