Passion

Passion What is You Passion? What is You Passion? Far too many people are unable to identify their passion- either in life or work.   It is there, it just requires a little work to put a label on it sometimes.   Passion is that feeling you get when you talk about something that is important to you.   It is that warm sense of pride when you recall certain achievements.   It is what you do and who you are. Often, passion is so close to us, we cant see it, but others do.   They see these strengths clearly and we take them for granted. Identifying and labeling your passion is key to finding fulfillment in work and life.   This will allow you to create the balance to stay energized.   When you look around at the people you know, who are happiest?   Who are the people you work with with a bounce in   their step and a smile on their face?   Most likely, these people know their passion. A Story of Discovering the Obvious I met with a laid off insurance professional years ago.   When I asked him what he wanted to do next he said he had always loved tinkering with cars.   He also confessed he had never really liked being in white collar jobs, but his father had insisted he hold the right type of job many years ago.   I asked Mr. White collar why he couldnt work with cars now.   He asked for my permission and I gave it to him.   He went on to drive a tracker trailer and last I heard was really happy.   So, the moral of the story is to do what you love- despite what others may say or think. Work on Giving your passion a label The realist in me knows that with tough economic conditions, it may be difficult to pursue passion.   Maybe, but maybe not.   First label it.   Then research it in the workforce.   Could  you be  doing it in other ways or roles or jobs?    If the  answer is  foggy, ask again later (magic 8 ball), also ask those around you who know and care about you.    Dont give up.   It may also be possible to use your passion outside of work.   Volunteer.   Take classes.   Whatever it takes to use and nurture your passion.

How To Choose Between Multiple Job Offers

How To Choose Between Multiple Job Offers How To Choose Between Multiple Job Offers Sometimes you’ll have a lot of time to decide, sometimes not. Whatever the circumstances, it will be easier to make that decision if you have some sort of decision-making process in place. Here are 3 options you can try if you receive more than one job offer. Pros and Cons This is a long standing method that needs very little explanation. You make two columns listing the Pros on one side and the Cons on the other. If you’re deciding between two jobs you’ll have to do an assessment of each and then evaluate which one is more appealing. While often used, making a list of Pros and Cons doesn’t make comparing two job offers particularly easy. Criteria Method In my early days as a career counselor I was introduced to the criteria decision-making process. You begin by creating a list of criteria that’s important to you. You may want to list these items in terms of importance. Most important first and down the line. Once you have completed your criteria chart it’s a matter of filling in the blanks. Here’s an example. Criteria Job #1 Job #2 Target Salary $175K Salary $170K Salary $185K Professional Development / Tuition Reimbursement Yes No Short Commute Yes No Growth Opportunity Yes Yes Extensive Travel No Yes Culture Fit Yes Yes Unused PTO Carryover NO Yes Looking at a chart like this should make it easier to make a tough decision. Depending on your career plans will the tuition reimbursement offered by employer #1 outweigh the higher salary offered by employer #2? Only you can decide. The beauty of this process however, is that you can decide in advance which criteria is most important to you. Flip a Coin While flipping a coin can’t exactly be called a process, people do use this practice every day. I recall reading that flipping a coin actually does make sense because as soon as you toss it up in the air you know which side you hope it lands on. If you are fortunate enough to receive multiple job offers look at is as a blessing not an obstacle. Make sure you have all the information you need and analyze it carefully. While the Criteria Method is my go-to when making a difficult decision, you need to choose the process that works for you. Updated 8/7/18

The Recession Is Bullhonkey Megs Story - When I Grow Up

The Recession Is Bullhonkey Megs Story - When I Grow Up This is part of The Recession is Bullhonkey series, where I share stories of those who have gotten hired and/or started their own businesses (or sometimes both!) since 2008. This is Megs story about finding her passion by listening to her 6-year-old self. “I am going to be an artist!” My 6yr old self declared loudly and forcefully. There was, of course, no further discussion of the validity of my Master Plan allowed when I had 6yr old certainty. As an ally I had my 4yr old brother often sporting the wig and/or painted nails that matched the dress I had picked out and had convinced or connived (depending how you look at it) him really brought out his eyes. He believed in my plan (and my fashion sense) SO much He would answer the oft asked question that was inconveniently rushing us out of our youth “Meg is going to be a Ahh..tist and I am going to be her assistant.” That’s Artist sans the ‘R’ as he then had an adorable inability to pronounce ‘R’s making him appear a miniature southern gentleman from ‘Chahh..leston’ (or woman depending how I had him dressed). It was truly an asset to have his adorability backing up my campaign. Those were the days, now he is in his last year of Law school. Don’t know why he baile d out on the master plan, he would still look adorable with painted nails, a wig and I am sure I have a dress that would make his blue eyes shine. After age 6 life and questions got harder. People wanted to know what ‘kind’ of artist I wanted to be and honestly I didn’t know that I needed to be a ‘kind’ of artist. Until of course the a fore mentioned stupid heads (I stand by this insult) brought it up. Society tried to assimilate me into adulthood, under some commonly held belief of ‘growing up’. This is a ridiculous belief system I will have no part of. So, I flitted from painter, to writer, to marine Biologist…. I really like dolphins, A LOT. During this time I was dancing and becoming pretty good at it and developing a Shakespeare habit, which resulted in the perfect alchemy, I was going to be a : Performance Artist So performing was the thing. I was going to act, dance and perform all the while changing the world, of course, with the eventual goal of directing my own films, plays and amazing dance performances that would change peoples perceptions, By god!!! They would either “LOVE it or HATE it,” I knew “anything in-between was mediocrity! Not art!” And as my path twisted and turned I did end up in Manhattan with an intuition (fortunately) stronger than my ego. I realized I hated film, it was tedious and political however I loved being on stage, but, what I really lit me up was dance and I REALLY loved creating dances and happened to have quite a great talent for choreography. 21 was the age when I really realized what ‘kind’ of artist I wanted to be. It had taken me 15 years from artist to a specified passion. It was an amazing feeling… And I lived happily ever after…. Well Not exactly, I loved, LOVED being a choreographer I found my soul there and in a surprise twist found my heart in teaching the art of dance. This was what I did for a decade and I THOUGHT I knew what I wanted out of it. But this big glorious universe had other plans for me and I believe the recession was used to teach me a few things. My dream of being a Choreographer and Dance Instructor was no longer right for me. It sounds so easy when I type it like that, but it was a good two years of tug of war between me (ego) and my higher self, and when I realized it was no longer my dream I balled my bloody eyes out! I grieved. It hurt. It sucked. And in the most unlikely of times, in the midst of what some were calling economic crisis and I was calling, “the what the hell am I going to do now vortex” it was slowly revealed to me a new passion a new longing a new place for my soul to reside. What am I now you ask? I’m what my six year old self meant when she said she wanted to be an artist. I now know what I was saying when I said I wanted to be an artist. I wanted to create a life where I was happy everyday just like I was when I was doing ‘artistic’ things. So of course my 6yr old brain said, this makes me happy I want to do it forever. Sitting at my desk writing this, with colored pens in a spinning pen holder, twinkling lights in my meditation corner, stickers, crayons and bubbles in my desk at the ready and a huge smile on my face. I realize I was a pretty smart 6yr old. Meg Boone is a Happiness Instigator and Creative Coun-SOUL-er.
