Heard at Career Transition Workshop-Dallas 1/11/10

Session 2 Career Choices & Consequences:  How to Find Your Future Focus

  • Find work for your identity, not identity from work
  • If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there-Lewis Carroll 
  • "If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both." Native American proverb
  • In life we make choices, our choices make our life
  • Make your life a statement, not an apology
  • “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Michael Jordan 
  • Hiring authorities are not interested in how you are like everyone else, but how are you unique/distinct.
  • Fine line between being distinct and weird
  • Uncover and sell the uniqueness of you
  • Do you endure the certainty of despair for the happiness of uncertainty
  • The thrill of soaring is preceded by the fear of falling
  • Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.  ~Ambrose Redmoon
  • Core choices of life
    • Mate
    • Mission
    • Master
  • Self-acceptance is beginning of self-leadership
  • Lone Rangers in life and job search tend to be dead rangers.
