Leave the Drama at Home Personal Issues and Your Day at the Office

Leave the Drama at Home Personal Issues and Your Day at the Office One of the biggest challenges young career women face is leaving their personal lives away from the office. Up until your first job, its totally normal to vent to everyone around you about the breakup you are going through with your boyfriend, the fight you are in with your best friend, or how rough you are feeling from going out last night. Unfortunately this type of talk is not well suited for most work environments if you are hoping to be seen as a leader and a professional. It is inevitable that we are all going to go through rough patches at home or in our personal lives. The challenge is not bringing it to the office. Going through some of these things for the first time in Corporate America myself was difficult and taught me some important lessons about balancing personal issues with your job. First, there will be good days and bad days. The bad days are REALLY bad, and you may feel like you can barely function at work. This may mean catching up on filing or organizing to stay active. Make sure you arent doing something that requires tons of brain power or attention to detail if you are having a terrible day, because chances are you are distracted and will make some big mistakes, leading to more stress later. Second, dont recruit your co-workers to participate in conversation about your personal drama. Women often feel healing through talking about what is bothering them. Unfortunately, this is usually not ideal while at work. Not only do you look stupid, but its a waste of time and eventually everyone is going to get sick of hearing the latest update of whats going on. Soon enough your co-workers will start avoiding you like the plague, consider you immature and unfocused. Third, as tempting as it is to email your friends and family about how you are feeling all day, you are better off closing that personal email and focusing on work. Why? Because nothing is going to change by 5pm. Also, the more you start emailing, the more you get sucked in. Time will vanish; you will be behind on your work and worse off from where you started. Before you know it, your bosses and clients are upset with you for things you forgot to do thanks to your emailing spree, and you feel even more stressed out and upset then you did to begin with. Lastly, do nice things for your self to get through the day. For me, this means getting a manicure at lunch, stopping at Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks on the way to work, or taking a walk at lunch. If youre going through a breakup, remember to think about all the movies that feature girls who went through bad breakups and then ended up better off for it (Legally Blonde, The Holiday). If youre going through something personal, no one expects you to be perfect. Its inevitable that people have bad days. Just try your best to put a smile on and stay as focused as you can. If things get really terrible, it may be best to take a day off to clear your head. The last thing you want is for your co-workers or superiors to think that you are incapable of doing a good job at what you were hired to do.

Your Actions Create Opportunities, Not Luck

Your Actions Create Opportunities, Not Luck When you went to college, did you have an idea what you wanted to do for a career?  This is  one of the more frequently asked questions of business leaders, creative gurus, entrepreneurs,  politiciansâ€"just about any professional. The answer, not surprisingly, is not really. Like you,  their hope when they started out was to just get a good job and do meaningful work. I read a lot about how people got their start to help college students launch their careers and  because it interests me. I read for ideas, patterns, and models, anything I can use as examples  on how to transition from college to a career. Rarely do people use the word luck. Sometimes  these leaders talk about being in the right place at the right time but most often, they say they  achieved success because of a purposeful action. Taking action can be as simple as accepting  an offer for a job you dont know exactly what it might be but know that if you take it, other  possibilities will appear. They often do. This is the take-away. There will always be opportunities for those who recognize and pursue  them. The so-called lucky people are simply those who have taken more chances than average. Action that creates opportunity is not random. You need a strategy for taking action and seizing  opportunities that consistently demonstrate your talent, and as you progress, your passion for  and commitment to your career. Stick with your plan, and youll reap rewards in your job search  and career. Creating action begins with learning where to find opportunities. You need to push yourself beyond your comfort zone to seize on an opportunity, and  opportunities are everywhere. You might have to move to Bentonville, Arkansas for a year or  two, away from family and friends because the opportunity is ripe with future possibilities that  will not be available to you if you don’t. So what if you take a less-than-ideal position for less  money than your friends are making, but you do it with a company that’s a good fit and in less  than a year move out of the position into one you created because you saw a niche and made  the pitch. It’s even possible that where you live, full-time teaching positions are not available. Substitute teaching for a school district that has no near-term plans to hire might seem ill  advised but that’s not true. As a sub, you’re gaining experience, developing skills and a  reputation (references) that you leverage to secure a full-time position in a fast-growing,  culturally diverse community. When you start out, it’s essential for your growth to be adaptable. Be curious. Be hungry to  experience and learn skills. In each of the above real-life examples, these new professionals  took charge of their actions and careers. Succeed with the right mindset. These three clients all started their job search with the right mindset. It was not an easy decision  for an east coast guy to move to Bentonville, Arkansas right out of college. Ultimately, the  decision was based on self-knowledge. He understood his values, skills, strengths, weaknesses  and passionâ€"his job is with Walmart in its e-commerce group; this guy lives and breathes  supply chain. I really admire my client who, in just a year, created her own position within the company shes working for. She was under a lot pressure not take a job her peers viewed beneath her skills. She went into it saying I’m going take initiative and show the company what I have to offer. She  surprised everyone when she created her ideal position and the company said, you bet. Good  things happen when you stay open and flexible. Throughout her five years as a substitute teacher, this client remained resilient. Never did she  abandon her resolve and take-action spirit. She developed her skills earning a fantastic  reputation among her teaching peers and school administrators, “…we know we don’t have to  worry, when Eve is subbing because learning happens in the classroom.” She also showed a lot  of courage and spirit of adventure. For her new full-time teaching position, she is moving 2,200  miles from family and friends to work in an exciting culturally diverse school. And because it  does get better, she’s move closer to the thing she loves to do most when not teaching, skiing. There’s another important lesson in her story: success is rarely immediate. Make a commitment to self-educate. Another learning to take away,  is that at the heart of taking action to create opportunities is a  desire to learnâ€"a mindset that stays fluid and facilitates personal growth. Those who are willing  to open their minds and augment their skill set are those who will be poised to succeed in the  future. As you start your first professional job or internship, make a commitment to yourself to learn. Your boss is responsible for your training and to some extent your development, not educating  you. That’s your job. It’s easy once you have a job to enter a sort of tunnel vision that can lead  to stagnation. Complacency does not lead to success. Learn every aspect of the companyâ€"ask  questions, attend meetings and conferences, build your professional network. Get to know  people in and out of your department, division and/or office, in the various roles that keep the  company operational. Read books, articles anything that challenges you to think deeply about  what you do and who you are. Not knowing what you want to do is more than okay. Stay open, flexible, curious, and resilient.  Bet on yourselfâ€"take chances. You will find ways to create action and find your opportunities. Image Credit: Shutterstock

Career Change - 5 Signs That it May Be More Than Just A Midlife Crisis -

Career Change - 5 Signs That it May Be More Than Just A Midlife Crisis - Fancy sports cars. Expensive gym memberships. Messy divorces. A midlife crisis usually gets a bad rap for impulsive decisions like these.      But one of the controversial midlife crisis decisions is that of making a career change in the prime of life, or later. Nothing feels more liberating  yet risky  in the moment than abandoning a job you’ve responsibly held for years, if not decades, for something completely new and different.  While the naysayers will say that it’s all well and good until you lose your health insurance coverage, the truth is that a career change late in life can be more than just an impulse in fact, it could lead to a real breakthrough in your happiness.  Here’s five signs that a career change later in life won’t be a Hollywood  cliché  for you, but perhaps the best decision of your life.  You Bring Your Negative Work Attitude Home With You One of the typical midlife frustrations center around intimacy issues. Yes, this  can  mean problems in the bedroom, but it can also mean struggling to have a meaningful conversation with your partner or spouse. This problem can even extend to children, as you try to remain relevant in their lives.  Instead of this being a problem of age, it could actually be a problem of career choice. The attitude you carry in your work life do spill over into home life, no matter how hard you try to separate them. If you find yourself stressed out, anxious, or depressed while at work, chances are good that it’s showing up when you return to your family.  This is a case where a career change isn’t a knee-jerk reaction but what you need to find balance and harmony at home.  Someone Else Decided Your Career For You Your parents don’t just influence your beliefs about the world. They can also literally set the career path that you choose to take. Maybe your father ran his own small business, and the business world felt like the only viable career option. Maybe both of your parents worked in the same career, doubling the chances of you following in their footsteps.  Whatever it is, that influence can be hard to shake. You may not have even realized you chose that career path because of your parents until just now. That’s just how subconscious some of these major life decisions can become.  The good news is that it’s never too late to take that step of personal freedom. In this instance, a career change could mean you finally coming out of the shadow of outside expectations.  A Career Change Has Always Been Your Secret Passion We all have at least one secret dream in life. It’s the one thing we won’t tell our co-worker friends, spouse, or children. Yet we carry that dream around in our minds like it’s a piece of precious jewelry, extremely fragile and liable to break at any criticism.  If that secret dream involves a career other than the one you have, this is a sign that a new type of job is much more than a midlife refresh. A career change could finally mean  giving yourself permission  to have the life you always secretly believed you deserved.  When People Ask You “How’s Work?”, You Say…  According to a  CNBC/Survey Monkey Happiness Index, 85% of people are at least somewhat satisfied with their jobs. The problem? About 30% of the incoming workforce will change jobs every 12 months, and change careers five to seven times.  There seems to be a disconnect there. How happy can you be about a job or career if you want a new one so many times? It ultimately comes down to the difference between what we say and what we mean.  If you find yourself putting on a good face when asked about your job but inside know that you’re telling a lie (or at least not the whole truth), then a career change could be a fundamental desire of yours.  This is also about the time in your life when your kids are becoming adults of their own. They look to you as an example, and part of a midlife crisis can be falling under that pressure.  Don’t you want to be able to look someone in the eye and say you what actually mean about the work you do?  That’s what the power of a career change.  You’ve Been Looking For Happiness A Lot Longer Than Just Now  If the type of deep reflection and desire to improve your job situation usually reserved for middle age has been hanging with you for months or years now, then you’re looking for something much deeper than a momentary buzz.  The longer you yearn for something more in life, and the longer you wait to get it, the harder it can be to actually believe you deserve it.  There is a way to turn it around though. A career change could be the start, but there’s something more fundamental you can do at the same time. It is a simple daily, three-step process called the Deserving Process. It is the result of proven, observational studies around people throughout the world who found true lasting happiness and what made the switch.  â€œYou Deserve It: The Missing Answer To The Life You Want” outlines the exact steps of The Deserving Process and provides online access to the free audio download of The Deserving Process too.  Remember you don’t have the life you deserve, you have the life you  believe  you deserve.

Is Positive Reinvention in the Wings for You - Kathy Caprino

Is Positive Reinvention in the Wings for You As many of you know, Ive been on the road of reinvention for more than five years now, and its been a fascinating, exciting, and often bumpy ride. As I have endeavored to let go of habitual thoughts and actions that no longer support me, Ive released many negative and limiting beliefs about life in general, as well as my own capabilities, strengths, gifts, and talents. Ive also come to know more intimately what I value and hold dear, both personally and professionally. In the end, Ive come to understand and live from the knowledge that each of us is here at this time to fulfill a very important purpose, but until we get real with ourselves, that purpose remains unclear at best. Do you know your unique purpose? Do you feel youre on your own path of finding fulfillment, meaning, joy, and expansion in life? If the answer is yes, Im sure that your clarity is inspirational to you as well as to others. If the answer is no or I dont know, your acknowledgement of this is a great sign that positive change is in the wings. I know from experience that it is indeed possible to discover all that you need to by getting to know yourself intimately, once and for all, and accepting and honoring your uniqueness. Your specialnesswhat makes you who you areis not an accident. You are a perfect combination of history, experience, wounds, traumas, triumphs, joys, and brilliant wisdom and knowledge. All of this coalesces to create the special filter through which you experience life. If you know who you are, and act from this knowledge every day, then reinvention is not necessary. If on the other hand youve lost touch with yourself, as I had, I hope youll consider getting on the path to reinvention and reclaiming your life direction, in whatever manner inspires and excites you. There are so many great resources, books, courses, etc. available to jumpstart this reinvention process. One book Ive found transformational is The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. This small, practical guide to personal freedom unlocked something immensely powerful in me the idea that we must use our words impeccably (without sin or going against ourselves or others.) In order to support and love ourselves, we must express this love and support outwardly with our words and actions. This little book helped me walk away from using my words to attack, criticize, demean, judge or go against others, and in doing so, go against myself. I slip up all the time, of course. But my awareness has been heightened as to the tremendous power of my words to move mountains, or conversely, to tear them down if the need emerges to do so. Reinvention is a life-giving process. When we reinvent ourselves for our own greater good, we heal generations ahead of us as well as those who came before. If you would like to share your stories of reinvention, or of how books like The Four Agreements have changed your life, Id love to hear them. Please feel free to contribute here. Your story will inspire others, and help us all remember that embracing ourselves fully, and walking into our own creative power instead of fighting against it, is all that we truly require to experience the creation of a life of great meaning, growth, and joy. Thank you very much for reading and sharing.
