Eat Your Career
OCTOBER 18, 2010
Career fulfillment (or, as I like to call it, career nourishment ) can often seem like an elusive beast. Figuring out what it is and how to find it is a difficult process for many. The first thing I tell my coaching clients is that career fulfillment isn’t something you FIND, it’s something you CREATE. And the process, while different for everyone, involves five essential steps: 1.

Twitter is a game changer for new blogs. By far, it is the easiest and cheapest way to get readers to your blog. However, effectively using twitter to get noticed is more art than science.

Like everyone, I’ve had jobs that left me feeling empty at the end of the day. But this— coaching and training others about career development —isn’t one of those jobs. In fact, I see it as more than just a job or even a career: It’s a mission.
