 Book Recommendation

Thank you to those that responded to the survey on the newsletter and asked that I post book recommendations.

Here is the first installment:

The Element, by Sir Ken Robinson

How do we know we are in our "element"? That is the question that Ken Robinson asks and illustrates the answer with anecdotes that all of us can relate to. 

Of particular impact to me was the description of "tribes". As a brief example, he describes how Bob Dylan found his life's work when he met other folk musicians in Greenwich Village.  Being among his "tribe" brought out the best in him and allowed his creativity to flow.

  In all, I found this to be a terrific read, both entertaining and illuminating and  recommend it to anyone who is considering career change or who may be advising young people entering the workforce.

Food for Thought


"All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is. Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I've said before, bugs in amber."

-Kurt Vonnegut, author     

What activities make you lose all sense of time?


When you do something you truly enjoy, how is  your mood affected?


For what activities are you always punctual and for which are you always late?

Greetings!

It's June and it already feels like the hottest part of the summer.  No, I don't want to limit my discussion to the weather. It does seem, though, that the passage of time always surprises us.  Time goes faster than we think it will, especially relative to those things we enjoy.

One of the things that changes our perception of time is our enjoyment of the moment.  We can be lost in an activity so that all sense of time is lost.  We can have agonizingly long waits that actually last only briefly. Realizing that each moment is special even if spent waiting or in a boring activity can improve our wellbeing.

How are your taking the time to enjoy the moment?

Exploring Our Strengths

 

Some time ago I took a number of psychometric assessments to help me figure out what I wanted to do in my next career.  The Birkman(R) inventory, StrengthFinder(R) and the VIA Character Strengths inventory were among the instruments that I used to help me explore a key element of career happiness, my strengths.

 

After reading the assessment reports I was just as confused as before I started.  Each one used different terms and classifications that did not appear to be connected.  Similarly, a couple of my clients have shared with me the reports of their assessments hoping that I could cut through the muddle and provide clarity. Unfortunately, I have not yet found an assessment that works for me.
