I’ve been a coach, counsellor, and teacher since before people could get certified as coaches in life, business, or careers. Sure, I went ahead and got certified in addition to a master’s degree and a doctorate, but it didn’t do much to change the number of people I meet who are flummoxed about life. And work. Or kids. And parents. Often, budgets. Sometimes vacations. Frequently I also meet people who have a hard time getting out of bed. Any of that sound familiar?

Wow, That’s A Lot of People

Do you ever look around you and count the number of people who don’t much like their job? Sure seems like there’s a lot of them. Some studies say between 80 and 90 percent of people are looking for a job at any given time, and only about 1 percent actually LOVE their job. I want to help change those numbers. Are you up for it?

Career Counselling & Coaching Where You Are - ONLINE!

Even as people have become more aware of the availability of coaching, many of them find it out of reach – it’s either too expensive, or there is too much “homework” needed to make the changes they think they want. It doesn’t have to be like that. It can be as easy as you reading this presentation and taking action. Bam!

I have spoken at conferences. I’ve provided group instruction, coaching, and hosted workshops. I learned how to do teleseminars, webinars, Skype, and Google Hangouts. It eventually dawned on me that the more services I provide online, the more people I can reach, more easily, on their own time, and in their own space. And that’s how we got here. Welcome. Let’s make this easy!

3-Steps to Doing a Job You Love

If you’re feeling a little stuck, or frustrated at work, then I hope you read this. This is part of my story, and I’m going to tell you the steps I took to fall in love with my job, and I use them anytime I start to waffle. I hope they help you love your job too!

Step #1 – I Tried A Lot

780-232-0083 [email protected]

I’ve had a lot of jobs throughout my lifetime. Partly this was because I have a lot of interests, partly because my interests change. People have told me I seem to have a hard time “sticking with it,” but that’s not true at all. I’ve stuck with things while they work, but I let go when they don’t. The jobs I’ve been paid to do are on the next slide.

Jobs I’ve Had

I Really Have Tried a Lot

I tried a lot of different jobs and tested every opportunity – I think it’s a good idea to try things so you’re less likely to feel as

though you are stuck with it. My shortest job was 3 weeks pumping gas. The longest one was six years in the army, where I worked as a musician and admin

clerk (see, two jobs there at one time anyway).

There were times when money

was tight, and I had to do whatever I could. I chose a pay

cheque over passion.

Step #2 – I Didn’t Get Picky

Passion

When I’m not working on something I’m passionate

about, it can be very hard to get out of bed some days.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

But I get up anyway.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I discovered I could

get passionate about

things if I tried.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I could take something uninspiring, or

frustrating, and spice it up.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I’d bring things to work that inspired me, and make them part of my

job.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

It didn’t matter if I was working in a cubicle, or standing at the front of

a classroom.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I brought my A-game. I made it fun. I woke

people up. I challenged their thinking.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I also cooked for them sometimes, helped them with their problems, and

learned to say no to them.

Passion

Granted, this did get me fired a few times.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I made sure I exited gracefully.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I was also broke several times.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I learned to cook on a shoestring budget.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

And I cancelled my cable (though never

the internet).

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I eventually found the things I do best and stuck with them to

master them, and to monetize them.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

That means I spend the majority of my money making hours writing, coaching, & teaching.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Passion

I am very lucky, since writing, coaching, and teaching are some of

the things I am passionate about.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Of course, I still have to do the things that I am not so passionate about (housework

and lawn care, for example), but I do them when my energy is low or I am tired from putting so much energy into my passions.

Doing the lighter tasks gives my brain a

rest, while keeping my body busy.

Step #3 – I Learned About Gratitude

I’m not just grateful for things or people. I practice gratitude in a very specific way, where I think about it in terms of very specific things. This approach to gratitude – and to life – has actually been proven to “make” people happier than simply being grateful.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Step #3 – Gratitude So when I say I am grateful for something, I get specific about it. Instead of something like, “Wow, that was a big storm. I am grateful I made it home safely.” I say something like this…

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Step #3 – Gratitude

“Wow, that was quite a storm. I am grateful the police were there to direct traffic through the flooding on the highway 814 underpass.”

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Step #3 – Gratitude

According to research into happiness, people who express specific gratitude, and who intentionally create things in life that make them happy, well, they are just happier people. That works for me. How about you?

Step #3 – Gratitude

Do you see a difference? Instead of me thinking, “I am grateful for my family.” I will say, “I am grateful I could chat with my son on the phone today, and I could tell him I love him.”

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Just three steps I woke up to a life that was making me miserable several years ago, and these three steps were what pulled me away from being a big hot mess. When life gets hard, I revisit the steps and make sure I am applying them all the time. They work for me.

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Just three steps

780-232-0083 [email protected]

Step #1 I tried a lot of things, practically everything I could find or that came my way. I’m still trying new things as hobbies and recreation. Step #2 I didn’t get picky. I turned everything I could into something I could get passionate about. Step #3 I got very specific about what I am grateful for.
