Gay Employee Resume Tips

Gay Employee Resume Tips Would it be a good idea for you to come out on your resume? Youd be unable to discover any individual who might suggest putting Im a lesbian - like it or protuberance it in content at the head of your resume. Notwithstanding, the correct method to out yourself to a potential boss is easy to refute. A few of us have increased noteworthy work and volunteer understanding from clearly gay/lesbian-arranged associations. Others may battle with how approaching they ought to be in their resume or requests for employment Other Interests segment. Realizing the amount to state when the beneficiary is an obscure amount can be inconvenient. Presently or later? I cannot envision any activity that is so incredible its value concealing what your identity is or undercutting yourself by forgetting about every one of those associations you chipped in time with, just so no inquiries would be posed, says Gay Men, Straight Jobs creator and Monster contributorDan Woog. While talking with men for his book, Woog found two ways of thinking on the issue. There are the individuals who accept as I do, he says. Why work for an organization that doesnt need gay individuals? At that point there are the individuals who accept its increasingly critical to land the position first, and afterward come out after individuals become more acquainted with you. Im here. Im strange. Im in the following work area! Woog additionally discovered a few people on a center way. They list their LGBT exercises on their resumes yet dont cause to notice it, he says. For example, the activity searcher may make reference to The Rainbow Alliance or NLGJA, without explaining the abbreviation or going into extra data, for example, VP of gay grounds gathering. The rest, says Woog, is left to the questioner. On the off chance that she says, The Rainbow Alliance - reveal to me progressively about that, its a chance to develop it and judge her response. Liz Winfield, coauthor of Straight Talk About Gays in the Workplace, is resolved: I think it is as wrong to come out on ones resume for what it's worth to write down ones strict or political affiliations. Odds are, these things, while being critical to the build and character of the individual, have nothing to do with the job that needs to be done. Be that as it may, Winfield says a resume ought to be thorough and legit. So if an individual has accomplished work with Lambda or the HRC for example - and the peruser even recognizes what these things are - sure assumptions can be made or not, she says. Its equivalent to in the event that somebody puts down that he is a minister in the congregation or a Hebrew teacher on the ends of the week. Get your work done Regardless of how you choose to continue, you ought to get your work done first. Comprehend what lawful securities you do or dont have contingent upon where you live. Luckily, it is presently very normal for organizations to be light-years in front of state and governments with regards to nondiscrimination approaches.

Grace Hopper Meets The Queen Of Stem Biographies, Author Laurie Wallmark (Plus A Giveaway!)

Today I  invited author Laurie Wallmark to pontificate on a female computer science pioneer…and to introduce her new picture book biography, GRACE HOPPER: QUEEN OF COMPUTER CODE, illustrated by Katy Wu. Laurie and I first met ten years ago (!!!) when I joined her critique group. Who could imagine that a decade later, we would be celebrating each other’s books? Laurie, this is your second PB biography about an important female computer scientist (the first being award-winning ADA BYRON LOVELACE AND THE THINKING MACHINE). What drew you to your subjects? People say, “write what you know,” but I disagree. If you’re not familiar with a topic or an idea, you can always research it. I’d rather say, “write what you’re passionate about.” After all, you and your story will be together for a very long time. From your initial idea to that first draft, from innumerable revisions to a published book, you will read your story over and over and over again. If you’re not passionate about the topic, this will turn from a joy to an agony. I’m passionate about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Two of my four (so far!) careers have been in computer science, one as a programmer and the other as a professor. Therefore, it seemed logical that I write my first two picture book biographies about people who contributed so much to the field. My other passion is wanting to make sure that all childrenâ€"regardless of sex, race, religion, physical or mental challenges, etc.â€"realize that it’s possible for anyone to have a love for, and possibly a career in, STEM. Picture book biographies of strong women STEM show girls that they too can succeed in a traditionally male-dominated field. What  about Grace Hopper’s story inspired you to write it? It bothered me that someone who was so instrumental in shaping today’s world of computers had been entirely overlooked in the children’s trade-book market. Grace is the person who made it possible for anyone (including kids) to be able to program a computer, not just engineers and mathematicians. By sharing her love and knowledge of computers and programming, she encouraged others to consider a career in software engineering. Shouldn’t our children know about the accomplishments of someone who was so important to the birth of our modern technological society? Yes, there are a few school/library titles about her, but these are not books a child would pick up and read. They’re dry recitations of the events of Grace’s life. In addition, they contain factual inaccuracies. Without Grace’s idea to use English words to program computers, probably fewer people would have chosen programming as a career. Without enough programmers, there would be fewer programs and apps written. Without programs and apps, our computers and phones would not be much less powerful. So that’s why I wrote this bookâ€"to introduce children to one of the most important computer scientists who ever lived. You write both fiction and biographies. Which do you prefer? (Am I pulling a Sophie’s Choice on you?) I can’t believe you’re asking me to choose between my beloved children. And what about my third child, poetry? Luckily, as a writer, I don’t have to choose. In fact, my master’s thesis combined all threeâ€"fiction, biography, and verse. I wrote a novel in verse based on the life of Ada Byron Lovelace. If I did have to choose, the answer would have to depend on my current project. I’m working on a biography of a woman mathematician right now, so biography is the favored child. Not to worry, fiction and poetry, you’ll soon have the chance to be number one in my heart. What interesting facts about Grace Hopper did not make it into the book? Because of the limited word count, one of the many challenges in writing a picture book biography is deciding what to include and what to leave out. For example, my book has a scene of Grace constructing a doll house. What’s not included in the book is she decorated that dollhouse by making her own tiny furniture, curtains, and rugs. She also sewed clothes for her dolls taking up residence. Another incident, also from childhood, is when Grace’s canoe capsized. After her mother shouted for her to remember her great-grandfather, the admiral, Grace didn’t abandon ship. Instead she kicked her way back to the shore, dragging the canoe behind her. These stories emphasize Grace’s self reliance and can-do attitude. But so do some of the stories that did make it into the book, so these two weren’t needed. Stories like how Grace convinced the Navy to let her enlist even though she was too old and too skinny. Or how she convinced her colleagues and the world how important it was for computer languages to use words instead of only numbers. Laurie, thank you for decoding Grace Hopper’s life and presenting the world with another picture book biography about an important female computer scientist. Congratulations on all your work and success! Award-winning author Laurie Wallmark’s debut picture book, ADA BYRON LOVELACE AND THE THINKING MACHINE  (Creston Books, 2015), received four starred trade reviews (Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and School Library Journal) and several national awards, including Outstanding Science Trade Book and the Eureka Award. It is a Cook Prize Honor Book. Her recently released picture book biography, GRACE HOPPER: QUEEN OF COMPUTER CODE  (Sterling Children’s Books, 2017), earned a Kirkus star and was well-reviewed in several trade journals. Laurie has an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from VCFA. When not writing, she teaches computer science at Raritan Valley Community College. Click here to join Laurie as she travels from blog to blog to introduce her picture book biography about Grace Hopper. Sterling Children’s Books is giving away a copy of GRACE HOPPER: QUEEN OF COMPUTER CODE. Please leave one comment below to enter. A winner will be randomly selected in about two weeks. Good luck!

Dont Forget One Key Component in Talent Acquisition -- The Talent

Remember One Key Component in Talent Acquisition - The Talent At the point when competitors are kept separate from the circle, they proceed onward, easy. Tyson Spring, author, and VP of selecting with Élever Professional, LP doesn't steer clear of the real issue with regards to enrolling top ability. Representatives hope for something else from staffing and enlisting experts, and they aren't hesitant to proceed onward if those desires aren't met. Truth be told, 80 percent of occupation searchers state they would be debilitated to consider other important employment opportunities at an organization that neglected to tell them of their application status, as indicated by Workplace Trends' 2016 Candidate Experience Study. What's more, would you be able to accuse them? Regardless of your title, selection representative, staff member, or employing star, you must make and support cutting edge associations with applicants. As per Spring, neglecting to do this will send qualified candidates over the edge. Each competitor has a limit where they conclude that the position does not merit their exertion. For spotters, the meeting procedure can get commonplace. However, we must recall that for the activity searcher, it's anything but an ordinary event, he said. Ability procurement is certifiably not a successive procedure for applicants. Thus, it's your duty to distinguish opportunity and make a solid individual association again and again. Truth be told, 80 percent of individuals state they'd accept one position over another dependent on close to home connections framed during the meeting procedure, as per an ongoing Mattersight report. Given that, these associations have never been progressively basic. Shockingly, without opportune updates all through the procedure when sourcing competitors, they will rapidly separate and push ahead with their pursuit of employment.

A few people in employing associations come up short on a desire to move quickly. For the most part, theyre from a way of thinking that regards an applicant as sub-par, Spring clarified. At the point when you're selecting top ability, persistence is the way to employing the most elite. For Spring's organization, without that tirelessness, a customer would've missed out on an energizing likely competitor. Each and every individual who met the up-and-comer was amped up for the potential. At that point it got to HR and somebody pulled the crisis brake on any development, Spring said. The up-and-comer went from meeting five individuals in five days to going fourteen days sitting tight for the following (and last) advance. Following 10 days, the intrigued applicant ensured the enrollment specialist realized he had different choices. In addition to the fact that candidate was developing fretful, it made this position drop from the lead position to beneath third on his rundown. Try not to sit tight for a #jobseeker to reveal to you they have different choices to make moves. Snap To Tweet Our scout pushed the customer to deliver the deferral and to reignite the energy. They mentioned a meeting with somebody in their item the executives gathering. This meeting was to a greater extent an attempt to close the deal to the competitor. It adequately overcame any barrier and gave the applicant an inside glance at the item, at last getting them empowered about the position, he said. On account of one scout's huge push, the competitor was sold on the job and they went to an understanding in the blink of an eye a short time later. Spring's story is an incredible update that regardless of who is holding the procedure up, you must interpretation of the duty and tenaciously backer for competitors. 2. Update in stages With such a large number of customers and possibility to monitor, ability obtaining can rapidly turn crazy. For Cristian Rennella, co-CEO and prime supporter of oMelhorTrato.com, the answer for keeping work searchers on the up and up even through the disorder of enlisting was with a normalized framework. Three years prior, we built up an inside framework that works like the Trello device. It comprises of a few sections speaking to various phases of the ability securing process, Rennella clarified. Each time an applicant passes a phase, we move the possibility to the following section. With Rennella's framework, an up-and-comer naturally gets an email educating them regarding their progression starting with one phase then onto the next. Any extra data about the following stage is additionally remembered for the email, which causes contender to feel dynamic and occupied with the procedure. Rennella proceeded to clarify, This was a basic change expected to scale our startup. It diminished procedure times by 23.7 percent. What's more, improving correspondence with applicants helping the change from possibility to representative improved by 18.1 percent. Each phase of the ability obtaining process is basic for staffing professionals and their customers to make the correct recruit. It just bodes well to give up-and-comers access on each stage and permit them to be proactive in pushing the procedure ahead. Be that as it may, recollect, if the procedure is taking excessively long, it's critical to refresh applicants about once every week to keep them intrigued. Suggested Reading: Find out what skilled competitors you're passing up in the ability securing process. 3. Set the desire You've likely define desires and objectives for yourself. Recommending quality applicants that customers recruit and keeping a solid ability pool dynamic and cutting-edge are among them. While these are both significant, your accomplishment in ability obtaining additionally depends on the desires you set for yourself and applicants. Dana Case, chief of activities at MyCorporation.com, thinks setting exclusive standards and keeping expected up-and-comers on the up and up is the way to indicating polished methodology as well as making your own situation procedure run smoother. Setting exclusive requirements for your #recruiting procedure makes everything run smoother. Snap To Tweet I have thought that it was generally productive to set the desire for the procedure when you meet with them. At that point, an infrequent call or email encourages stay up with the latest, Case said. We as of late respected an exceptionally possible competitor and wrongly waited to associate until after the end of the week. Shockingly, when we connected on Monday morning, she had just acknowledged an alternate position that she was offered somewhere else. This is the ideal case of why you have to set desires for subsequent meet-ups as it so happens. Had this applicant comprehended when they'd get a report on the opening, they may have looked out for tolerating the proposal to the next position.

MGIP is back ! University of Manchester Careers Blog

MGIP is back ! University of Manchester Careers Blog The Manchester Graduate Internship Programme has now launched for our grads of 2013. Each year here at the Careers Service a team works to generate graduate level internship opportunities all around the Manchester area for the graduates of that year.   These opportunities span a whole range of subjects and roles; we’re pretty confident we have something for everyone. Why search for internships instead of permanent contracts I hear you ask? They give you the chance to learn about and experience a professional environment while also giving you the freedom to know that its temporary and that youll have the chance to discover what you like about the role and the industry before applying for permanent roles. As a current 2012 ‘MGIPer’ I work at the University here at the Careers Service in a Student Marketing role.   As it’s an intern position there are a lot of different tasks and people to get involved with and therefore a lot of scope to work on a larger variety of skills rather than training for one specific job.   Overall I think having a role with some freedom has helped me develop my problem solving and idea generating skills a lot more than if I had had a more rigid role. This is often the case with internships, there is the chance to experiment and try out new things which can really help you in discovering what you’re good at and what you do and don’t like doing. For me, I loved Manchester and I really didn’t want to leave after graduation. MGIP was the perfect avenue for me to find experience and be able to work in my university city. Don’t just take my word for it, here’s a blog post from a fellow 2012 MGIPer who took up a role within a small private company: So if you’re due to graduate this summer, want to stay in Manchester and work for an exciting small to medium-sized company (or the University), MGIP could be for you!

Four Ways You Are Apologizing Wrong

Four Ways You Are Apologizing Wrong Apologies are something we love to receive and hate to give. And especially as a leader, they are tough. They require a great deal of humility, which challenge your pride and ego. They are an open admission of failure and wrongdoing, but when delivered with sincerity, they hold power with your team. Unfortunately, too many leaders give superficial apologies loaded with excuses and blame. Apologizing for the sake of apologizing is an ingenuine insult to those wronged. If you want to be taken seriously in your company, it’s important to know why an apology is necessary and to deliver it in a way that’s heartfelt and honest. Here are four ways you are apologizing wrong and how to make sure you don’t make these mistakes in your next, “I’m sorry:” Not Owning the Mistake.   Placing blame or trying to justify your actions will diminish the power of your apology and hurt your credibility. Using excuses to justify your actions or shortcomings will only intensify the feelings of rejection, animosity, anger and pain. Simply own your mistake. Acknowledge what you should have done differently and commit to making a change in the future. Not Carefully Considering Your Words. Before rushing into an apology, consider how the receiver will interpret what you’re saying and how you say it. What we say when admitting a mistake can affect the trust we establish in the relationship moving forward. If we don’t consider our words carefully, we can add insult to injury and further jeopardize our connection. Leaving Out the Specifics. Know what you are apologizing for before you do. Dont rush to apologize without all the facts. The person affected needs to know what you are apologizing for. It allows you to elaborate on the reason and acknowledge greater ownership. Making it Impersonal. The method of apology is as important as the message itself. Recognize when a mistake requires a face-to-face admission and don’t rely on technology to do your heavy lifting. Look them in the eye and apologize. If face-to-face interactions aren’t possible, pick up the phone. Let the offending person hear your voice and acknowledge your sincerity. Just don’t hide behind the screen. All of us make mistakes. Acknowledging those mistakes while taking ownership demonstrates responsibility and maturity as a leader. Apologies allow us to build stronger, more trustworthy relationships with those around us. They also help us grow as professionals and in our roles as leaders. Owning our mistakes provides a great example for our team to do the same.

How to Handle Former Employee Online Bashing the Right Way CareerMetis.com

How to Handle Former Employee Online Bashing the Right Wayâ€" CareerMetis.com Original Image Source â€" Depositphotos.comLet’s be real â€" most of us have complained about our job from time to time. Whether it be about that annoying co-worker or a more serious grumble regarding the leadership structure within the organization, all of us can probably find something to criticize about the company we work for.Unfortunately though, when these complaints become public after being published online, it can severely hurt that business’s reputation. Oftentimes, disgruntled former employees will take any chance they can to tarnish your business’s name. But these moments of frustration can have a long-term effect on those companies and even stunt their growth.According to Glassdoor’s report, 83% of job-seekers will search for a company’s reviews during the application process, and 84% say that a business’s reputation weighs heavily in their decision for job acceptance.evalHaving a few negative employer reviews can make recruiting new team members that much mo re difficult. Furthermore, the negative comments can also influence the overall work environment even after that employee has left.Thankfully though, it is possible to turn things around by handling things the correct way â€" and you can do it in just three simple steps.Publicly Respond and Take ResponsibilityevalThe best way to de-escalate the situation of online employer bashing is by showing that your company respects that employee’s opinion. Taking the time to craft a careful and courteous response shows that person At the end of the day, a well-crafted response to a bad review can say much more about the company than the review itself!Share Feedback and Look for LessonsAlthough disgruntled employees may certainly exaggerate, there is likely some truth to their comments that can be useful information.When you are looking at reviews, try to note any repeating patterns regarding similar pain points that former employees keep bringing up.Do multiple people mention an issue with m anagement?Do people complain about limited vacation days or difficulty in maintaining a good work/life balance?Just as companies should be reviewing negative customer reviews, managers should also be taking a look at these former employee comments to identify the weakest points in the current employee experience.evalFor example, many former employees for Nestle Purina stated that internal promotions seemed to never actually happen, even when a person was with the company for long periods of time. This caused lots of frustration and was often the reason why some employees left the company.The HR team at Nestle Purina took this feedback to heartand created new initiatives to clarify the promotional process within the company while also revamping their advancement process to help leaders cultivate talent for better experiences. In 2018, the company was the Employee’s Choice Award winnerfor best company to work for!SourceAlthough it is far easier to dismiss negative sentiment, it is i mportant to take the time and consider what each person has to say. Chances are that their negative experience is stemming from a major issue within the organization that needs to be addressed.Encourage Current Employees to ShareArguably the best way to help balance out negativity is with positivity. So, rather than dwelling on negative reviews, look for ways to boost morale and build engagementwith your current staff.One great way to get the ball rolling is by creating engaging employee review templates. Unfortunately, many companies rarely or never ask employees to share feedback regarding their current experiences â€" which can lead to built-up frustration that results in online bashing.Furthermore, employees say that they are four times morelikely to stay with a company that regularly asks for feedback and actively makes changes based on their reviews.Managers should take the time to regularly meet with their team members to discuss both the pros and cons about the employee’s current work situation. It is important to encourage full transparency here by creating a safe environment so people feel comfortable enough to share their honest opinions.Image Source â€" UnSplash.comYou may also want to ask employees to share their sentiments online as well, specifically when it comes to sharing positive aspects about your company. However, you do need to be careful here â€" no employees should ever be required to create a positive review.When you build out employee review templates, make it clear that these can be 100% anonymous. If you don’t do this, iqualtrics.comt can be tough for employees to share their true feelings â€" as they might think it will result in getting blackballed or compromising their job security.ConclusionevalReceiving a negative employer review is never fun â€" but it does not need to be the end of the world, either. The secret is to turn the experience into a positive one as best as you can.Start by taking the high road in your response by acknowledging the person’s feelings and experiences. Then take the time to reallyconsider what they are saying. Always be on the lookout for ways to proactively engage with current employees to make the changes that result in the most meaningful impact.

How to succeed in your new leadership role - Margaret Buj - Interview Coach

How to succeed in your new leadership role Youve landed yourself a new leadership role congratulations! If you are like most successful people I know who have a great track record in their careers and have just landed the perfect new job… you might be filled with a mix of emotions. On one hand… • You’re excited about the new opportunity and a chance to prove your worth. • You’re up for the challenge and opportunity to learn in this new role. • You like what you’ve seen of the organisation culture. At the same time, you might be secretly saying to yourself… • Yikes! I’ve sold myself into a job that’s more than I can do. I’m sure I’m going to fail. • I’ve got way too much to do to get up to speed and do my job. I’ll never be able to get it all done! • They’re going to find out that I don’t know as much as I’ve told them I know. • I have no supporters where I’m going. I’ll be ALL alone. If any of the above sound familiar, it is time to take your professional game to the next level by developing a 90-day career engagement strategy. Your 90-day career engagement strategy will provide you with a strategic framework and timeline to follow during your first 90 days with your new employer. An effectively executed 90- day career engagement strategy will help you being perceived as a high impact performer and valuable organizational asset. The choice is yours, you can drag through the “first year blues” of trying to “fit in,” or starting off with a career engagement strategy that will enable you to fully maximize opportunities, effectively build networks, and “own the place” after your first year! The first 90 days is a particularly critical phase for the newly appointed executive, so how do you step up to the challenge? Take time to learn In the first 90 days you are expected to do three key things; establish credibility in terms of professional competence, show a discerning ability to establish priorities for delivery, and demonstrate leadership. The temptation is often to dive in and deal with immediate demands. While this may be necessary, one of the most common mistakes executives make is not setting aside enough time for reflection and planning for longer-term gain. Understand the business In the very early stages its crucial to size up the organisation and its people. Failing to understand the business and failing to develop the right relationships can undermine the position of any new executive. I recommend asking the same questions to each group you meet with. In his book “The First 90 Days” Harvard Business School Professor Michael Watkins suggests that you ask six questions to everyone you meet. The one that is most relevant is, “If you were me, what would you focus attention on?” The questions you ask should provide you with a starting point for prioritizing the things you need to do and the things you want to do. For example, in a Wall Street Journal article Carol Hymowitz quotes Kevin Sharer as asking the following questions (to the top 100 executives) after he became the CEO at Amgen: 1. “What do you want to keep?” 2. “What do you want to change?” 3. “What do you want me to do?” 4. “What are you afraid I’ll do?” 5. “What else do you want to ask me?” The questions you ask need to give you the knowledge that will enable you to create the strategy that will make you successful. Take a step back and absorb Unless there are urgent issues to deal with, it helps take some time to acquire the information you need, to gain a real sense of the organisational culture. Identify what is important and what isn’t, and differentiate between the signals and the noise. Good communication is vital Every conversation that you have will be of value in providing insight into the company and its culture. You should be able to define the prevalent management style, identify the individuals who you need to build relationships with, and ascertain what the organisation expects of you. Be visible At the earliest stage, a new director makes his or her presence felt but in a subtle way, by engaging with the organisation. Its important to ensure that you are visible and to communicate with key stakeholders. Get support New leaders will benefit from proactive support in deciding how they form effective relationships at this level and what behavioral changes they may need to make to ensure that they are effective in their new role. The impartial of an external coach can help. Hold regular meetings During the first hundred days its important to meet regularly with those who report directly to you, as well as their own direct reports. This will help you understand what each person does, what their skills are and what views they hold. Keep the meeting groups small in order to build rapport and trust with those who will be working closest to you. Listen observe Getting the right balance between analysis and action is crucial. Some senior executives make change for the sake of being seen to be doing something and make decisions without thinking things through properly. Unless the situation calls for urgent action, use your first few weeks to listen and observe. Plan your transition Used well this crucial period will help to establish a base for the longer term when you will be scrutinised and judged by what you can really deliver. There is also much to gain by reflecting on one’s own personal style and presence and adapting this to fit into the new culture. This may need to be adapted in order to hit the right note, taking into account new individual and organisational preferences. Modern day organisations are complex environments where operational necessities intertwine with matrix structures, spoken and unspoken corporate cultures, office politics and interpersonal considerations. A planned transition will help to ensure success in the new role. You can’t hope to successfully meet these new challenges without understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, and more importantly, knowing how and where you can get support for some of your weaker areas, possibly through executive or leadership coaching or mentoring.

Whats Holding You Back From Your Dreams

What’s Holding You Back From Your Dreams No, I didnt have no plans to feature a guest post here (yes, I crave the spotlight), but when I read Whats Holding You Back From Your Dreams? on Lolalina I just had to ask Laura to republish it here. With a BA in Child and Adolescent Development, magna cum laude, from San Francisco State University, shes now looking to realize her dream of becoming a writer. I hope that this article resonates with you dreamers gets the wheels in motion, too! I want to share something close to my heart today: finding the courage to do what you really, really want to do more than anything. In other words, living your dreams. What stops us? What scares us off? Why isn’t everyone doing what they love? This is a rather lengthy post, but it’s a topic that I think is really important, so I want to give it some love, and I hope that you will jump in and offer your own thoughts in the comments section as well. I realize that making big changes in life is difficult, and it’s an ongoing process I am working on in my own life. In fact, that’s the main reason I created this very blog! I want to start taking more risks and exploring interests that have been dormant for too long. Are you with me? There are lots of unhappy, grumpy people out there trudging along, unsatisfied with their lives, but carrying Big Dreams in their back pocket. The internal dialogue tends to go something like this: “I really, really want to open a cute little shop, BUT I’ll never have enough money.” “My secret wish is to be a published author BUT I’m scared to ever submit any of my writing.” “I want to travel the world BUT I’m stuck here with my mortgage payments and lousy job.” Does this sound familiar to you? I think many of us carry on this kind of negative talk I know I do! Those negative thoughts are a big-time bummer, and they are doing nothing helpful. So, I declare it time for a bit of spring cleaning of the mind. Spring seems like a good time to dream big and make a fresh start in the same way you might start working out in preparation for warm weather, we can exercise our minds to pave the way for change in our lives. Let’s clear out some mental roadblocks so we can go for it! Idea #1: Find Your Inner Four Year Old Children don’t accept things at face value; that’s a fact. I was a preschool teacher, so I know these things. Try approaching your dilemma as a young child would: by asking “Why?” not once, not twice, but again and again and again and again, until you can come up with a different answer. The goal of this little exercise is to push yourself to brainstorm some creative solutions. At this point, don’t worry if some of the ideas you come up with are completely ridiculous. Let’s say you really want to go to Paris for six months, but you think it’s impossible because you’ll never be able to save up that much money. Now, usually, that would be the end of the conversation (“Oh well, I’ll never be able to do that, so I’ll just give up”). This time, don’t let yourself off the hook so easily! Bombard yourself with questions: Do you really need as much money as you think you do? What if you did an apartment swap or stayed in a really cheap hostel part of the time? What about doing some work long-distance or taking on freelance work while you’re away? Or perhaps you could move into a smaller house to help save up the cash. For me, wanting to write has been one of my driving passions, and although I’ve always kept journals, I hadn’t found the time to write much else. I was teaching preschool full-time, and although I really enjoyed it I would come home just completely wiped out with zero energy. I just literally didn’t have the energy (mental or physical) to even think about what else I wanted to do with my life! I knew that if I kept it up, the other things I wanted to explore would get left by the wayside. One of the flaws in my thinking was that I had to keep teaching. I thought if I stopped, my husband would totally freak out, we wouldn’t be able to pay the bills, and all manner of disaster and catastrophe would befall me. Well, guess what? I was wrong. I saved up some money, we moved into a cheaper apartment, and I started a blog as a way to begin a new path in life. Idea #2: It’s Not All or Nothing Serendipity: The effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. {Definition from Wikipedia} I think many of us get into perfectionist-mode when it comes to our dreams, and that’s unfortunate, because it can really shut us down. We may think there is only one way (and usually it’s the long and expensive way) to reach our goals, when actually it’s often better just to start somewhere without knowing where it will lead. I had an interesting conversation with my sister the other day about interior design, something we are both interested in pursuing, when our conversation turned to serendipity. She was talking about how she wants to take a step in the direction of becoming an interior designer (maybe take a class), and then just see where it leads; and I think that is a fabulous idea. Sometimes it’s not good to plan everything in advance down to the last little detail or if you do, at least be open to changing those plans down the road! Because if what you want is to live a life that deeply fulfills you, you’re going to need to be tuned into what is and what isn’t floating your boat all along the way. Let’s take interior design as an example: maybe your Plan A is to go to design school, then work for a design firm, and finally go out on your own. But if you stay open to serendipity, maybe you will end up opening your own little design biz after only one semester; or maybe you’ll realize you hate it, but you love your photography class and decide to pursue that instead. Do you see where I’m going with this? Try to keep an open mind, because there are opportunities out there that may not have even occurred to you yet! There are an infinite number of ways to reach any goal. Idea #3: Play Pretend Take all of your excuses and throw them out the window. Let’s just forget about money, talent, education and nerve for a moment and pretend that you are guaranteed success at whatever you want to do, right now. If you knew that you could accomplish your goal just as you are, what would be your first step? Write that down. Now, what would be your second step? And your third? Have a look over your answers can you do any of these things this week? I bet you can! Because the funny thing is, the first steps toward any goal are often the easiest; it’s what you tell yourself about them that makes it difficult. Let’s say you want to open your own shop, and you’ve been completely paralyzed by the idea until now. You’re afraid it will fail. You’re afraid you’ll never get a loan. You’re sure your family will think you’re crazy. Okay, deep breath. Pretend none of that is true. Pretend your shop is guaranteed to be wildly successful, the banks will be throwing money at you, and your family will support you 150%. Now what? Okay, so your first three steps might be to read a book on writing a business plan, sign up for a class on entrepreneurship in your community, and gather all of your design ideas for the shop in one place. You can do that. Idea #4: Accountability You know how you’re more likely to show up for a workout if you know your friend is meeting you there? Well, I think the same thing holds true with making any sort of life changes. Unfortunately, sometimes the folks in our lives can be less than supportive of change (“You want to do what!??) when they don’t understand it. You probably already have a feeling who in your life would be a good candidate for sharing your plans with, and who you should probably hold off in telling until things are more solid. So, just in case you want to, I would like to offer this blog as a judgment-free place where you can share your dreams let other people know what you are planning to do to act on them. {dreamy images: Alicia Bock ~ Etsy; Blog; Website}
