One of THOSE days!

Ever have one of those days? No, not the days you wish you had stayed in bed. I'm talking about those days when you experience the work you were meant to do. The whole ball of wax - the people, activities, setting - just like love at first sight. You just know it is right.

Today was one of those days for me. Volunteering at a local homeless shelter I coach several men in their residential program. These guys are recovering from life - substance abuse, mental/physical abuse, homelessness - you name it. They are learning to take responsibility for their circumstances and move on with life.

As a coach I get to experience their incredible growth and the insights they gain every day. They are eager to learn and anxious to make changes in their thoughts, actions and relationships. Talk about career transition! It is a huge step forward from panhandling, etc. to a 40 hour-a-week "real" job. The excitement in their eyes and voices when they consider the possibilities they never knew existed is a joy to see.

What would it feel like for you to have "one of THOSE days?" Are you ready to get started on the path to confident career choices that will help make every day one of those days?

Let's talk. Oh, and volunteer. Nothing beats serving others to improve your attitude.

Coach
