Dream Job Coaching Session 9 - 2015-09-10 Excerpt (Audio)

Mindfulness lets us see things in a new light and believe in the possibility of change. When we feel locked into strict work procedures and rules, we can recognize that these were once decisions made by certain individuals. These people lived at a particular point in history, with particular biases and needs. If we realized this, more of us would consider redesigning our work to fit our skills and lives.
~ Ellen J. Langer

During this live group coaching call we discussed consciousness and examples of unconsciousness. We discussed some mindfulness practices that can be used to increase your own level of consciousness. We take a page from the wisdom of Lao Tzu who said, "the key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness."

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

How to Create Your Dream Job Now™ - Part 2 (Video)

In Part 2, we talk about the current situation in the world, the economy and the current job market. The idea is for you to get an accurate picture of current reality and take a glimpse into the future. What will happen if you do not take action? What if the status quo remains the same?

Keep in mind that even if the economy were to suddenly shift for the better overnight, your intention by taking this course is to create your dream job for whatever stage in your career you are at now. With that in mind, you are moving forward regardless of what anyone else is doing. You are in fact creating a desired future. You are making your own luck!

Assignment

• Meet with your partner/Triad
• Discuss the current situation in the world and your own situation.
• Discuss how your future looks if everything stays basically the same.
• After you look at your own situation and the future, answer the question: “Is this what I want?”
• If the answer is no, discuss what a great future would look like. Dream a little. Think big and outside the box. 

Note: Have one person write down what you discuss or record the discussion.

How to Create Your Dream Job Now™ - Part 1 (Video)

In the carnage of the current economic situation, we felt it was important to offer a free course to assist people with not only finding a job, but finding a job they love. A dream job if you will.

With that said, even in the best of job markets, it is important to find a way to enjoy what you do within a company you resonate with. We know many people who have spent 20 or 30 years with an organization they detested but stayed with them because they did not see a way out. Well, in this course, you will discover the way out. 

The process we will use has been used many times over with our private coaching clients. What is amazing is that it always works! In some cases, it has yielded almost miraculous results.
 
On this recording, you may hear some background sounds such as birds singing, wind blowing or airplanes passing by overhead. I recorded this intro outside in the Virginia countryside (while walking) to add as much mindfulness as possible to the recordings. Hopefully the lack of a quiet studio effect will not be a distraction.

Course Assignments for Part 1:
Find a partner to work with you on this course. Ideally, you will have two people to work with you (a Triad) so you can get the most out of it.
