Sharing #Vision2020

The year 2020 may not be the year everyone envisioned, but it is not without hope and the ability to achieve your personal #Vision2020. My hope for all my readers is everyone is healthy and safe in the spaces you live and must be every day  This year we have defined, clarified, and documented our vision. The next step is to give it life in the world and share your vision.
 
Why does sharing your vision give it life? Sharing your vision means someone besides yourself will get to learn about you in a way that could be scary. Now your vision will be alive as you speak it into existence. This could be a stressful and scary part of the journey, but is just as necessary as the other areas already covered this year.
 
Why is sharing so scary?  Sharing leaves a person open to see a piece of you. Sharing opens you up to criticism and the scary possibility of shaming from others. Nevertheless, we must put aside those fears and share.
 
Sharing our #Vision2020 holds us accountable to others for how we are looking to improve ourselves. This means we become personally accountable when we are not working towards our vision the way we made the commitment.  The commitments we make to ourselves are just as important as the commitments we make towards others.
 
I am not recommending everyone wear a sign or write your vision on your Covid-era facemask. My recommendation is to actually find someone trusted and reliable. This person should support you and encourage you. Enter the role of your friendly workforce professional, social worker, counselor, mentor, trusted friend, or supportive family member to your vision. Sharing your vision may be announcing it on social media for the world to know or just starting with one or two people. Either way, the result is real and puts you another step closer to making your #Vision2020 a reality.

Mastering the Grilled Cheese Sandwich Project

An engaging book club discussion about email, how we work, and also just how we as people manage our lives. The more we talked the more I started to realize that essentially project management is essentially a life skill everyone needs to master to be successful. If we simplify Project Management down to the easiest way of explain it and applying, we can define it as taking a big end goal and break it down to smaller goals, figuring out the tasks with each smaller goal, and then allocating lots of resources along the way. Ultimately at the core of project management is planning and organizing, but communication is really at the heart of it all. A project may be big, like building a bridge, creating and implementing software, or it can be as small as figuring out what to make for dinner. Along the way to said goal, every step needs to be clear and everyone needs to communicate about all the said steps along the way. Sounds easy, but apparently it is not so simple. One would think ev...

A WIOA Fairy Tale

I thought it was time to have a little fun with WIOA and write a fairy tale. My last fairy tale was published in June of 2014 and was before WIOA legislation. To read the first workforce development fairy tale, check out the archives. Once upon a time in a far off land called Weeoha, lived a community of residents. Many of these residents had jobs and careers, but some found themselves in need of services and assistance to get jobs. Some were reliant on the government for assistance with basic needs because they could not find jobs. Three of these residents, Jack Butcher, John Baker, and Josie Candlemaker, found themselves not satisfied with their lack of opportunity and decided to go on a pilgrimage to find the legendary Cup of Career Success.   According to urban legend, whomever drank from this cup was promised eternal employment and self-sufficient wages as long as they desired. Jack, John, and Josie set out on foot to find the legendary cup. Their first stop was to ...

How do you Birthday?

Another year in my life has passed. It’s time for another birthday. Each year as the day approaches, I take the time to reflect on my past year, my accomplishments, and my goals for the year. My birthday is like my personal New Years’ celebration with another opportunity to have the best year ever.   I am not afraid of a birthday. Age is just a number, but each year is what you make of it. Each year I have seen the sun rise, the rain fall, and the snow melt, I have been given a gift from the universe. Many people do not get to see another birthday. I owe myself the opportunity to set goals and feel proud as I work towards achieving them. Sometimes these goals have been born from unhappy feelings and bad situations, but growth brings wisdom.   In my working life, and especially as a workforce professional, I know some of my growth must be professionally. Having experience working with job seekers looking for jobs, I understand how crucial professional growth is...
