Thank God It's Fulfilling Speaking Engagement

Christy will be a speaker at the Chicago Chapter of the American Society of Training and Development's Annual Career Day "It's Your Move: A Self Directed Personal Growth Day - Improving Your Career". The event will be held on Saturday, June 19, from 7:30 am - 3:30 pm at Benedictine University, Krasa Center, 5700 College Road, Lisle, Illinois. The day features numerous speakers, breakout sessions, laser coaching, resume reviews, interviewing practice, networking opportunities, and more!

Christy will be presenting an interactive breakout session at 11:00 am entitled "Thank God It's Fulfilling!" Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their attitudes about work and adopt more positive attitudes, begin to define their ideal career and job elements through interactive exercises and discussions, and develop an action plan to begin their transition from a Thank God It's Friday mentality to a Thank God It's Fulfilling reality!

If you are in the Chicago area, please join her. The cost is $45.00. You may either register ahead of time at the link below, or may pay at the door.

I hope to see you there!

  • Thank God It's Fulfilling Top Ten Article
  •    T.G.I.F.! What does it evoke in you? For most of us it is Thank God It's Friday - implying the workweek is finally over and we can now get to things that really matter - spending time with family and friends, having fun, spending time on our hobbies and passions, rejuvenating, relaxing, winding-down, and living life on our terms.

    What if: You were living life on your terms through your career every day? You were doing things that you were passionate about every day? Your work actually rejuvenated and reenergized you rather than draining you?

    What would happen if you were able to change your personal beliefs of T.G.I.F. from Thank God It's Friday to Thank God It's Fulfilling? Here are some steps to help pave the way.

    Take Ownership of Your Career

    Often when people are unsatisfied with their careers, they feel that events, including their career, are outside of their control. You need to take back control. In fact you had it all the time, but you may have given it up or decided to go with the flow. People like people who are in control, who know what they want, and know how they are going to get it. This doesn't mean that you need to roll over others, but you do need to take back what is rightfully yours. Who has more of a stake in your career than you do? No one - not your boss, not the company, you and you alone are responsible for managing your career! No one cares more about your future than you do and no one can manage it as well for you as you can.

  • Whistle While You Work: Heeding Your Life's Calling
  •    Join Christy for June's monthly book review series, Whistle While You Work: Heeding Your Life's Calling.

    You may find this book helpful if you are asking yourself questions like:

    How can I make a living doing what I love?
    What was I born to do?
    What is my life's work?
    What do I want to be when I grow up?
     

    Whistle While You Work attempts to help readers discover their own answers to such questions to reveal their own innate sense of calling. The authors believe that calling is natural. We all possess it. It needs only to be uncovered, not discovered. Whistle While You Work makes the uncovering process inspiring and fun. It is a liberating and practical guide that will help you find work that is truly satisfying, deeply fulfilling, and consistent with your deepest values.
