As I am rejoicing with a client who secured a new job this morning, I wanted to speak with my clients more about courage. A good, solid job hunt requires immense courage. The courage to wake up and start with a fresh, positive perspective every morning. It’s not easy after you have been rejected or displaced and need to start again.
It is not enough to simply update your resume/cover letter and learn how to do an effective job search with the new technology of today’s world. You also have to refresh your attitude and gain perspective.
I have observed that the clients who are successful are the ones who can release the anger, disappointment and frustration and accept change. Change is required for growth and development. We actually grow the most when we are challenged. To move forward in life you have to become fearless and move out of your own way. Hence, the need for the counseling part of career counseling as we can often be our own worst enemy. I am here to coach you through the entire process just as a coach would encourage and inspire an athlete.

So, do not give up as often you are so close to reaching your goal! The key is to have the courage to release your fear and trust that things will work out. I’ve said it before but will say it again to try to operate out of love, not fear. When you free the glory of your own soul you will find that amazing things start to happen. However, it is a work in progress so you have to be patient and work through the process.
As Steve Jobs once said, “Your time is limited so don’t waste it living somebody else’s life…Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your own heart and intuition.”
