Greetings and Good Morning wishes to you 🙂
This is an interesting discussion about why you should or shouldn’t get a coach during your job search or career transition. Take a peak…
You all know what my answer is 🙂
Yes! Working with a coach will help you during this period of transition – however brief disclaimer.. see my other post labelled career coach – about choosing the right coach for you and ensuring they have experience…
Working with a career coach will increase the speed that you will see results than if you were working alone. Also, a coach will hold you accountable to your goals. There is a lot going on during a job search ( eg. fear, family and personal pressure, ideas, big dreams, changing expectations, rejections, hopes, finances) and staying focused can be challenging.
You are well aware of these complexities facing you – as you are in it right now… having to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of navigating the responses from employers can be pretty detrimental to your ego… whew so much!..
So yes, having an experienced, supportive coach to debrief with once per week would help you move faster to your goal and keep you to task, avoiding many of the highs and lows.
A good thing to remember when job searching – is that this period in your life is temporary – you will work again – it is just a matter of time.

How true is this statement!! Please read on…
I have been a volunteer at a school named Cafe con Leche here in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic for over a year and am regularly inspired by all of the children, volunteers, teachers, parents and especially the endless energy of the Director of the school, named Marisol, who started the whole program in 1990.
Despite the several challenges that exist, there is so much love, joy and hope bubbling in this little school; I am commited to increasing the learning and growth opportunities for these children and spend a lot of time thinking of more ways that I can help.
So, I began chatting with the foundation’s Director, Margarita Rodriguez about how to generate more donations flowing to the school but was running into some road blocks about collecting donations from abroad and government issuing about receipts and administrative and legal issues… ugh!
Then last week, I received an email from Margarita saying – “When there is love things flow” and then all of a sudden I realized that the FOCO Foundation needs a website! And I can promote it and all of their amazing projects, helping to raise awareness and to increase international donations – all by using my new skills in social networking and article writing!! Who knew!
So late Friday afternoon, I put this out to the universe ( in the way of Twitter and Facebook ) and within 2 hours – I had three website developers interested in the project!!
The Law of Attraction at work! All is possible when you are operating out of a place of love! Stay tuned for more details!
Embrace Your Life!!

For those of us who know what we want but aren’t seeing it yet in our lives – try these super condensed exercises:
1. Imagine yourself one year from now having all that you want. Close your eyes and really feel how good it feels to be there in your ideal world.
2. Write down exactly what and who is in your life – specifically explain your ideal world using your senses and get it out of your head and onto paper. Review this ideal world daily – feeling gratitude for all that you have!
3. Make choices today that will move you closer to actualizing your dreams. Make decisions that feel good.

Best wishes to you!

Someone recently asked me about how to get started volunteering with children, this is my response:
“I am a huge advocate of writing things down! So that would be the first place I would start is to grab a notebook and pen.
Clarify and create an intention:
Research! Look up and begin researching existing programs that are consistent with your vision. Visit their websites and determine which ones are interesting or a good fit for you, consider volunteering.
Register with the Volunteer action centres in your city – these are matching services to help you get connected with not for profit organizations.
Good Luck! and Congratulations – volunteering can be a wonderful rich experience!!”
