I took my own advice -invigorate your career according to your values. You may find elements of my process helpful in your career change.
The Result: In the 2 years since my last entry and 15 pounds of paper later, I have 3 of my training programs approved nationally for continuing Education Credits by the Association of Social Work Boards. They are How to Keep Calm in the Chaos; Creative Solutions for Challenging Clients and Don't Just Let Them Vent . . Help Them Reinvent! http://www.aswb.org/education/courses/>Click on Approved Courses and then Individual Courses for complete description.
The Catalyst: My husband closed his bookstore after 30 years. At the same time, my dear friend who recently became a widow said she would would give anything for 15 minutes with her late husband. Having put my business first for 25 years, I felt like I was hit by lightning. The value of making the time with my husband precious made me reinvent my career vision to include traveling with him while presenting national training programs for CEU''s. My new mantra is: "Have Program, Will Travel" in New Jersey and nationally.
The Bottom Line Is there a disconnect between your career goals and your core values? If so, consider creative ways to reinvent your career to honor those priorities. For added motivation, know that a disconnect between career goals and personal values is a major source of stress.
Do you have a program scheduled in the Sacramento, CA area?
