Become Your Own Career Champion!

You can create your own positive perspective with the messages you play in your inner dialogue and then manifest those messages in the material world. You can do this for yourself. Do not allow other people to tell you, “Don’t do this,” or “You shouldn’t do that or “This is not good enough.” Instead you can say, “I know what works for me. I can make my own life and I can champion my career. I can make it happen for myself. I can be successful at whatever I choose.”

Book Excerpt

As you move through this process you will see that when you show up to work, you get to decide how your situation is going to be. There are no victims in the career development ladder unless you choose to be one. The inner voice that says, “I have to get a job,” gradually shifts to be more about, “I want to do something that serves me. I want to be in an environment that’s nurturing and productive.”

So how do you define a good experience? Ask yourself what you have done well, what have you enjoyed doing and what were you proud of. These are the essential ingredients in a good experience. You did it well, you enjoyed it, and you were proud of it. Go back to your childhood and think of a good experience you had before the age of 10. It is surprising how our talents and strengths start appearing at an early age and they carry through with us the rest of our lives.

For example, I remember being in a school play when I was about eight years old. It was Cinderella and I was the prince’s mother. Okay, here I was on stage and all dressed up and I had to get out in front of an audience. I still remember my lines. It was my first experience of being on stage, and I said, “I love this.”

Driving is a skill while your strengths or talents are innate, natural abilities. You may find you have natural talents in many different areas.
