Most of us attendees were blown away with our answers after a question was asked at a conference workshop this Spring by Susan Britton Whitcomb, a Careers Expert. I’ve asked my clients this question and they have loved this exercise. I’m going to ask you the same question. “If you had no limits on money, time, health and strength, what would you do?” Treat yourself by pondering 15 seconds on your answer.

Did some activities come right away to mind? If so, you may want to write down your answers on index cards and seriously consider whether you would like to make those activities realistic goals some time in the near or distant future. I was surprised at my answers. One of them was to visit my daughter while she is in India for four months. I talked to my daughter about this idea and she was so excited!

Career Coaching is when the total focus is on you, identifying your strengths, personality traits and interests, what you want to in your life and on what will help you achive it. A career coach is like having your own personal navigator for the career journey: someone who will help you find your way by listening, asking insightful questions, and giving strategic guidance.

I’d love to hear your answers to the question Susan asked us! Or, if you have other career related questions, please email them to me!
