While death is obvious loss, losses arising from downsizing, career dissatisfaction and disability to divorce, empty nest and lifeless retirement are often overlooked as significant loss involving grieving. Venting the mad, sad and bad is crucial but stagnating unless combined with a program to Reinvent NOW.

What makes my model work for the overwhelmed who have thought the agonizing WHAT NEXT QUESTION to death? It is the focus on strengths rather than problems and imagery and humor rather than logic. My playshops,are skill rich, interactive and invigorating yet benefit all levels of expertise. I believe if you can laugh you can learn and am dedicated to teaching user friendly strategies that work.If you're new to my blog you can check out my style in the other entries. Feel free to email me for participant feedback.

In the process of reinventing myself yet again with taking my playshops on the road, I am excited to be sharing the above with social workers at the Camden County Health Services Center, BlackwoodNew Jersey on 11/17.

Here's the script:

  • Stop the mind chatter. Stay away from job descriptions.
  • Apply the secret ingredients-- imagination and feeling. Be in the movie. Enjoy the activities of your ideal career with all your senses
  • Replay it at least three times a day.Have fun with it.

What did you learn? What's one small thing you can do to get closer to your career path with heart? How will you remember to use your mind movie?
