On a Personal Note

I’m back from vacation – and it was wonderful!

Just before I left, I realized I hadn’t done much lately to honor my travel values. In fact, I actually felt a little out of balance because I hadn’t taken a trip in a while. This vacation was just what I needed. I’m feeling totally refreshed and back on course.

Does your life feel out of balance lately? Maybe it’s because you aren’t honoring your values. Is there some small thing (remember it can be small) you can do to get re-aligned? Think about it.

P.S. Here are two photos from my trip!

Food for Thought

Don't Fall Asleep

Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable and fall asleep and miss your life.

This quote is from a card sent to me by Katie Johnson, one of my clients. She sent it because she feels that I keep her from ‘falling asleep and missing her life.’

Her comments had a special impact on me because this is exactly what I try to do with all my clients – make sure they ‘stay awake’ and not get too comfortable in their life.

In fact, one of my mantras is that if you want to create a full, balanced, and vibrant life, you must stay alert and be prepared to act when opportunities come your way. This is the only way you’re going to create the life you want.

If you feel like you may be ‘falling asleep and missing your life,’ contact me. I’m here to keep you awake!

Career Corner

Choosing a career path that's right for you is a process. Here's a tip that can help you get started.

Tip of the Month: Cover Letters 101: Why Every Resume Should Have One and How To Get Yours Noticed

So you’ve created a great-looking resume that’s sure to impress potential employers. Terrific! Now…what about your cover letter? Most people overlook the importance of this key item when sending out their resume. Don't miss your chance to communicate with your potential future boss. The cover letter helps make it happen.

Be specific and demonstrate knowledge in your cover letter. Employers read many resumes and cover letters, especially for prime positions. Yours should specifically address the position for which you hope to land an interview. It should also explain how your skills and experience qualify you for the job. Don't send "mass mail," all-purpose types of resumes and cover letters because more often than not, they end up in the recycle bin. (You can read more about writing cover letters here.)

Identifying Your Purpose Teleclass – begins August 1

• Are you completely lost about what you want to do in your career?
  

• Are there so many career ideas in your head that you can’t choose just one?
  

• Do you have areas of your life where you feel "stuck" (like a hamster on a wheel – running frantically but getting nowhere)?
  

• Are you seeking greater fulfillment in your current career but don’t know how to make it happen?

Many times the reason you can’t move forward in your career goals is because you aren’t clear about what you really want.

My clients have discovered that once they define their life purpose, choosing the right career becomes a much easier task. They know more about themselves and can actively undertake the steps to finding a career they love.

Don’t wait, reserve your space in the Identifying Your Purpose Teleclass.
