The object of a person’s ambition or effort; an aim or desired result is the defined meaning of GOALS
TED Talk asked individuals in a public forum to share their 2023 goals. Aghast I was when many chimed in sharing their own personal goals. Many chimed in with a few snippets shared here. One person replied … “No goals. No achievement. Just letting life happen”. Hmmm, to not plan is to just go with the flow. That may be good at times but what happens when you periodically assess? What result do you expect to find?
If you’re not measuring, you’re not managing it

Another said he was working on achieving his ‘2020’ goals. One may be quick to laugh until we remember what happened tin 2020. Yep! The pandemic. So that person is still focused on working that goal….hence the comment.

Nancy got the promotion! Yessss! Now what should she do? It was exciting when she Ditched her Job for a new and better opportunity. When Nancy learnt that she got the new role that came with higher salary and perks, she could hardly retain her joy.

Success is not just making money. Success is happiness. Success is fulfillment; it’s the ability to give.

241K Jobs added to the American economy in the third Quarter 2022. Assuredly of this number, hundreds of applicants went armed to interviews with knowledge of what they desired in a new job. In a heartbeat most will say high paying salaries, while others will say great benefits, great culture, remote work and more.
Are organizations prepared for the workforce of the future? Research on Success Strategies of Leaders with Nova Southeastern University delved deeply into this question. To date, the most common top priority remains salary. Employers must become armed with the most in-depth information so they can be ready to attract, capture and retain top talent in the marketplace. Accordingly, it was great to collaborate with representatives of salary.com to meet with HR leaders in the industry through the Hospitality Association in Florida, HHRABC.org where I serve on the board as VP. Interest sparked post-pandemic, leaders are now ready to step in and hire the best.
As a certified coach my emphasis is on those candidates seeking a career change. Jobseekers, are you ready? Not sure? Let’s connect to see if coaching is right for you.
Cheers!
The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

𝓢𝓮𝓵𝓯-𝓬𝓪𝓻𝓮 Walk away from people and situations that cause you pain.
From people who put you down.
Walk away from things that poison your soul.
Think about your inner circle. Are they adding value? Find yourself always feeling sad and down caused by others? Look deeply. Maybe it’s time to walk away.
The beginning of greatness is to be different

CNN headline news shared the news of Karly – a 27 year old who ordered a cake with her resume printed on it and sent it to the company of her dreams. Guess where? Nike!
This feat was done from her location in North Carolina to their headquarters in Oregon. Talk about innovation! All with the help of an equally ferocious delivery driver. Karly then shared the picture of the cake on LinkedIn …that’s the place for top jobs, right? Sure enough it sparked lots of interest. Some ‘meanies’ chimed in too. They thought it was a bad idea and voiced how they would never hire her.
Personally I’m a lover of anything different. Of thinking outside the box. Same result but with a twist. It brings in the new; makes one stand out against the competition (whether or not there is competition) and shows initiative, The open-minded for sure will snatch up the innovative.
Step out today. Try something new, something different. Heck, you may even surprise yourself! And oh by the way, don’t limit this to jobs only. Travel, relationships, entrepreneurship ventures and more are all included.
What’s the most creative step have you taken? Do share. We would love to hear.
Cheers!
