Best Year Ever!
How to SET and ACHIEVE the Goals You Really Want in the New Year

Ready to make some BIG changes?  Not sure where to start? We did this series in 2011 and got a lot of great feedback – so we decided to bring it back again this year.

Join Career Transition Coach and Business Consultant Catherine Morgan for this F*REE, two-session teleclass and discover the keys to setting and achieving the goals you really want in 2013.

Thanks Catherine!  The teleclass was both enlightening and interesting last night – I’ve never really experienced / been exposed to goal setting like that before. ~ W.T. Chicago, IL

Why a Teleclass?

Because it is interactive, informative and fun.  A teleclass is just like attending  a workshop, but instead of driving, parking and making sure your hair is combed, all you need are two free hours and a phone!  This teleclass meets for two consecutive weeks, one hour each week.  See below for dates and times.  Continue reading →

Guest Blogger for TDS – It’s Official

In the beginning I was “mystery blogger” and then later “guest blogger” but now it’s official and I have my own profile on the TDS corporate blog. TDS is the seventh largest telecom company in the United States.

I got to know TDS when they invited me to a guest blogger event in Madison. We spent the day presenting on and talking about changes in the world of work and the rise of the digital workplace. Anybody who knows me, knows that I am very interested in working virtually, and while I deliberately built a virtual business, I also frequently worked virtually when I was an employee.

I am intimately acquainted with the joys and challenges.  Continue reading →

From The Life Uncommon – Generation Gap? Sometimes, Not So Much

Today I had a guest post published on Nacie Carson’s blog, The Life Uncommon. The title of my post is: Generation Gap? Sometimes, Not So Much.  I talk about the similarities I am finding between career issues faced by professionals at all experience levels, and also the motivation to do work that matters (whatever that might be).

Nacie wrote a tremendous book, The Finch Effect: The Five Strategies to Adapt and Thrive in Your Working Life, a book I highly recommend for anyone in career transition of any age. In fact, I have started to raffle it off at all my speaking engagements related to job search.

I had the opportunity to do a short talk at Ignite Chicago in the fantastic 1871 co-working space in the Merchandise Mart in Chicago on June 18. The format is like speed dating for speaking. Everybody has to submit their slides a week in advance – and you only get 20 slides AND they advance automatically every 15 seconds. Crazy.

If you ever want to test your speaking skills, I recommend this format. But be warned: You will prepare as hard for five minutes as you will for a 70-minute talk!

Evaluating Opportunities: What’s Your Lens?

We all have choices to make. How do we know if we need or want to do one thing or another? How do we objectively evaluate opportunities so that we make the right next choice – the one that we don’t second guess because we made the best decision we could at the time?

One way to do it is to find your lens. This is something that I help clients do all the time, and I am ruthless in coaching them to consistently use their lens to evaluate all opportunities.

Let me give you two examples. Continue reading →
