FIRST CHAPTER FRIDAYS presents timeless advice from the most popular and best-selling career guide, What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard N. Bolles.

Keep your career thriving in today's volatile job market with a new perspective on identity and jobs from Farai Chideya. EPISODE NOTES For a lot of us, our job is a profound expression of selfhood. That means that when we lose a job, or when a business fails, we might feel like failures, too. And in today's uncertain economy this happens a lot more than anybody would like. In this episode, Farai Chideya, author of The Episodic Career https://www.blinkist.com/en/books/the-episodic-career-en [1], offers a new perspective on how to approach your career path so that you can both survive and thrive at work in the age of disruption. When you understand that you're not your job, but rather that it's a thing that you do, it's much easier to bounce back, make a pivot, or even temporarily earn less on your way to doing work that really fulfills you.

After trying out of the University of British Columbia golf team (and unfortunately not making it), James met legendary Canadian golf icon Jack McLaughlin who helped jumpstart his golf industry career. After university James focused on acting, theatre and managing restaurants before deciding he wanted to apply the skills and knowledge gained in these professions to the golf industry. James relied on the book "What Color Is Your Parachute?" by Richard N. Bolles https://www.parachutebook.com/ to help shape his golf career path, which led him to seek employment with one of the best industry people in Canada: Tim Tait, who is the Head Professional at The Marine Drive Golf Club. "I was attracted to the culture of golf. I was attracted to being outside and the fact that the golf industry has so many facets that make every day different." "I came to the conclusion that a lot of people are in the golf industry because they love to play golf. Not many people are in it because they want to run it like a business. I saw this as an opportunity to fill that gap." Special Guest: James Cronk - Co-Founder & President, Golf Industry Guru.

Is Your Resume Stopping You From Achieving Divinely Appointed Goals?If you don't write accomplishment-based statements on your resume to showcase the excellent work you do, someone else will. And they wll get the interview and the job!About Jennifer Fonseca, Destiny ActivatorEven after graduating from college, Jennifer Fonseca still didn't know what to do with her life, but she had a deep desire to figure out what she had been "put on this planet to do." So her mom gave her a book that changed everything.After reading, What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard N. Bolles, Jennifer began test-driving careers--as instructed by the book. Not only did this activity lead her to a fulfilling career and finding her passion in life, but it also turned into a tool she uses to help others do the same.In this interview, Jennifer shares how test-driving careers can help you weed out options that aren't right for you and open doors to opportunities you might not know exist, Once you do identify the type of job you'd like to have, you'll need a resume to help you get an interview and eventually the job.And that's where most people flounder.What is an Accomplishments-based Resume?In Jennifer's words, "When you haven't worked on your resume in a hot minute or more like a year or two, there are so many things you’ve forgotten..." That selective amnesia forces people to reflect back on their careers in a haphazard way--thinking about tasks performed or former checklists of duties. Writing your resume that way will not help you identify who you really are.Instead, Jennifer uses an approach she calls, "Who before Do," to help her clients think back on their proudest career moments in order to reveal the exceptional work they've done and experience they've gained. Doing so is not only a good career move, but is required of those who have the ability to build up the kingdom of God.She says, 'If we don't show up with a resume that really details out the strengths that God uniquely created for us to have, then we leave it for someone else who has no problem bragging on themselves. And it's not bragging." Jennifer explains that we bring glory back to our creator when we showcase how we have stewarded well the gifts and the strengths he has given us.And when we use those strengths for good, we can change culture.In this interview, Jennifer talks extensively about how to create an accomplishments-based resume by using the four following "miracle questions:"How do I do it better or differently than anyone else?When did I thrive or flourish or feel most alive in each of my roles?What are the things that you did where you lost track of time?What are you most proud of?Listen to this interview to learn more.What You'll Learn in this EpisodeThe value of test-driving careersFour miracle questions to help you remember your accomplishmentsWhy you have a mandate to figure out what your destiny isAnd how to go about activating that destiny once you know what it isMost Importantly: How Jennifer has seen the Lord’s hand in her career

Betty suffered from a case of the "should's". She went after everything she thought that she 'should' do. She thought she would be happy when she had everything she wanted, but founded misplaced. She felt unfulfilled and what to do about it. After changing company to company, she realised her super power was in-between jobs, interviewing and finding new and exciting things. All signs pointed to career coaching for her, so she decided to delve deep into what career coaching was and realised she had found her passion.

About this Episode Army veteran Anthony Detoto from 1836 Veterans talks about networking and creating collisions with veterans and veteran business owners.  Texas veterans chase their entrepreneurial dreams. The group casts a wide net and will soon hear pitches in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, but it is careful about whom they back. When they invest, though, the commitment is total. Key Points of Discussion with Anthony DeToto Anthony’s transition from the Army to a civilian job Significance of jobs in the Army and as a civilian Lessons Learned Networking Family Offices How do veterans self assess? Key Milestones of this Episode [01:11] Anthony’s introduction [03:12] Going to school at West Point [06:24] How Anthony transitioned from the military to civilian sector [07:43] Those who helped along the way [10:37] Naive Networking [15:50] Self Assess [24:59] What is your value proposition? Key Resources 1836 Veterans What Color Is Your Parachute? 2020: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers by Richard N. Bolles  Key Quotes by Anthony Detoto “We always feel like we’re not good enough for that threshold.” “So many of the civilian jobs are not going to make you feel as significant as the jobs in the Army.” “I wanted to touch a wider swab of people sooner.” “All I could do is promise them that I would help others that were in a similar position.” “1836 is a beachhead to help veterans find capital in all four of those different forms.” “If you want to get paid ask for money, if you want to get paid twice ask for advice.” “A veteran is a person who has written a check at least once in their life payable to the United States of America.” About our Guest Anthony Detoto Anthony Detoto is Servant Leader, helping military veterans decide on entrepreneurship or intraprenuership.  As with all things military-related, DeToto built 1836’s operations plan around an acronym: FISH, for the four types of capital every entrepreneur needs. F is for financial. Funding can come in two primary forms, debt or equity. Should the business take on debt, and from where? Should the entrepreneur sell a share in the company, and to whom? I is for intellectual. Every company is built around a product or service. But in a competitive market, new ideas are what make a company prosper or fail. S is for social. Does the founder have the connections to get the business off the ground? Where are the customers, who are the advisers, and from where will the money come? H is for human. Most businesses need more than one employee. Who is going to help run the business?  About Our Sponsor Bench Bookkeeping is this episodes sponsor.  Being an entrepreneur, bookkeeping is a necessary evil.  To put your bookkeeping needs on autopilot check out Bench Bookkeeping and get one month free at veteranonthemove.com/bench.

In this episode I interview my own life/productivity coach, Elise Enriquez, about what to do about that feeling of dreading Mondays and how to decipher what to do about it. Elise is sharing about her own crucial career move where she left a great job with great benefits and listened to her body to find her perfect career.  Three awesome tips for anybody who is in the position of wanting a career change: Figure out if it's relationship or situational; tap into your strengths. Interview people in fields that look interesting to you and read self-help books. Listen to what your body is telling you.   Elise is a great example of what living on purpose looks like, as she has designed and gone after the life she wanted personally and professionally. Join us as she opens up about those internal feelings of needing change that no one could see and what finally drove her to being a life coach.    Book recommendations  “Finding Your Own North Star” by Martha Beck  “What Color is Your Parachute” by Richard N Bolles (don't forget the workbook!) “Pivot” by Jenny Blake   Connect with Elise: https://www.facebook.com/eliseenriquezcoaching/ http://www.eliseenriquez.com/ https://www.instagram.com/elisemenriquez/

Do you keep thinking that if you just reach this next goal or hit that next milestone, THEN you’ll be happy? Overachievers have a tendency to attach our self-worth to how much we accomplish, and no matter how much success we enjoy, it never seems to be enough. So, how do we learn to appreciate the journey? How do we keep our career moving forward AND connect with what brings us real joy? CJ McClanahan is a popular keynote speaker and executive coach. He launched his coaching firm in 2003, and since then, he has spent 10,000 hours in front of entrepreneurs, executives and their teams and coached them to achieve record profits and profound business growth. But no matter how much success his clients attained, CJ recognized that few seemed to enjoy the journey. This inspired him to shift his focus and support high-achievers in finding the joy in their lives—while still realizing their professional goals. To that end, CJ wrote The Overachiever’s Dilemma: How to Break the Achievement Obsession Before It Breaks You. Today, CJ joins Emerald to explain how he uncovered his calling to serve overachievers and discuss the danger in attaching our self-worth to how much we acquire. He shares his system of helping clients redefine success in terms of unique talents, meaningful relationships and a fulfilling journey. CJ also describes his purpose-focused coaching philosophy, offering insight into the value of a coach who points out what we’re missing. Listen in for CJ’s team-centered way to celebrate success and get his advice to overachievers around shifting our focus to what others need.

Eines der schönsten Dinge, die David Polte in seinem Leben gemacht hat, war seine Jobsuche mit Life/Work Planning (L/WP). Ich kann es nachvollziehen. Aber wie soll man das jemandem erklären? Im Grunde gibt es nur eine Möglichkeit: Du musst es selbst mal ausprobieren und erleben. Dafür musst Du noch nicht mal einen riesigen Aufwand betreiben, wenn Du nicht willst. David hat sich L/WP im Schnelldurchlauf von einem Kollegen von mir erklären lassen und sich den Rest mit dem Buch "Durchstarten zum Traumjob" von Richard N. Bolles erarbeitet. Dann ist er los gelaufen und war überrascht, wie das seinen Mindset verändert hat. "Ich habe unfassbar viel gelernt", sagt der 30- jährige, der für den härtesten Schlag auf seinem Weg unendlich dankbar ist!

Marc answers very late in life career decision questions with his trusty sidekick, Elizabeth Rabaey. You can learn about her career pivots in Episode 020. Listen in, for ideas to pivot your career very late in the second half of life!   Key Takeaways: [2:11] Elizabeth shares her story, and how Marc has helped guide her to her latest pivot, which has worked out well. Elizabeth invites listeners to listen to Episode 20, and connect with her on LinkedIn to share experiences. [3:23] Q1: I am 70 and retired when I was 52. I had a long career as a programmer and project manager. The money is starting to run out, and I need to go back to work. What do you think I should do? [3:40] A1: There are three factors. He retired about 1999 from a large technology company. He thought his retirement money would last forever, but the Dotcom bust blew that away. He also retired very young, without a plan. His skills are very stale. His network is largely retired, also. The technology space that he knew no longer exists. [5:14] Marc told him to find a problem to solve, and that started his brain going. He has entrepreneurial tendencies. Marc wanted him to find a problem he could develop into a business service or product. He has Social Security, so he’s not going to be out on the street. After 18 years being unemployed, at 70, no-one else is going to invest in him. [6:48] His most valuable skills acquired over the last 18 years have been the engineering things he has done on his property. He liked that answer, because it got him juiced. It’s never been easier to be an entrepreneur. Marc has a friend who has products manufactured in China, and has them shipped directly to Amazon Fulfillment. [9:51] Q2: I am doing informal research on analytics career paths. My company puts analytics professionals on a business management track. I understand some companies offer higher analytics professional positions. I want to continue to develop as an analyst. Do you have any ideas on a career path? [11:11] A2: IBM and other companies started doing this in the mid-90s. This gentleman is in his early 60s. Working for a government contractor. The company needs him in business development (sales) to get more contracts. They will not invest in his analytics career. They might invest in Millennials. [12:45] Marc asked him, “What do you want to be doing in five years, and what do you have to do to get there?” It could be retirement, it could be consulting, it could be getting certified to teach classes. This man is in supply chain, and that skillset will be needed in the automation world. [15:40] Marc will be doing a series of blogposts on “How will automation, AI, and robots destroy your career?” One of those will touch your career. There is a retail crash as a result of competition from Amazon and similar online companies. [17:06] Q3: I have spent the last 15-20 years as a lecturer at a public university. I feel like the future looks dim, as they continue to cut costs, move to part-time adjunct professors, and move coursework online. Where does someone like myself go? I’m very late in my career, and I think I’ll be pushed out soon. What should I do? [17:31] A: This is a composite of three conversations Marc had, all fit the same profile, 50 and above, and had the same circumstances. They had stayed at the university because of the tremendous amount freedom it offered. They took the summer off to pursue mission-driven endeavors. They enjoyed flexible office hours. [18:16] People from a college teaching environment typically do not make very good employees. Marc suggested to one to find a problem to solve, and look at stair-stepping his way to a new business (See Episode 14 with Taylor Pearson). The second case was in liberal arts. Marc steered him to UpWork and FlexJobs to do freelance while working. [19:16] The third individual was a dean at a public university. Many people in higher education receive enjoyment from the mentoring aspects of their jobs. That is not found in the corporate world. Look at Episode 3, with Joel Dobbs. Joel has a portfolio career; part of it is mentoring executives. He also teaches, and consults to companies. [20:25] The dean needs to determine what people will pay him in the private sector, and how he gets into it. He has some of the connections required, and needs to find which ones will work for him, and start working the relationships. [21:00] Marc did not tell any of these to go find a job. Elizabeth suggests embracing the change you face, and now is the time to do it. The transition will be difficult, but once you pass through it, it will be a great opportunity to do whatever you have always wanted to pursue, and still maintain control over your schedule. [21:48] Marc says the getting out of higher education or high school teaching is challenging. Plan for the long haul, and don’t expect it to happen tomorrow. Stairstep your wait out over a year or two. Do something on the side, as the Millennials do.   Mentioned in This Episode: Careerpivot.com Contact Marc, and ask questions at: Careerpivot.com/contact-me Episode 020 Elizabeth Rabaey Elizabeth Rabaey on LInkedIn Roger Whitney's Retirement Answer Man The Smart Passive Income Online Business and Blogging Podcast What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard N.

Question from Taylor I remember listening to a podcast where you, at least I think it was your podcast, talked about self-development. Specifically you discussed using a task manager to help you achieve your self-development goals. I can not remember which episode this was. It would be really helpful if you could direct me to the right one; I would really like to send it to my father. Dave recommended these three apps/services: OmniFocus* Todoist Wunderlist Question from Jeffrey I've really admired the ability to use humor to defuse tense situations whether in the board room or one-on-one. It often lowers the volume of a confrontation and allows a moment for those involved to reset. How mad can you be when you are laughing? But it is also risky to use humor since the joke could fall flat, or even worse you might offend your counterparts. Do you have any resources on how I can improve my utilization of humor in these situations? Question from Ravi Hi Dave, I have been listening to your podcast for past 5 months. Have learned a lot. Thanks for great advice all around. I am facing one problem that I am really struggling with and will welcome your advice. I seem to have hit a ceiling in my career. By measure of my education and experiences should have been in a Senior Management position. I look around and all my friends and peers at one time (and those even behind me) have been steadily climbing the ladder and I am frustratingly stuck at the same place! I have all received good to excellent feedback, have been commended for my attitude and thinking, done more than my peers but am still stuck! Any advice what I can do? Happy to share more information about my background if it will help. Bonni recommended Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus* Question from Rijul I was wondering if you could share a bit more about your own professional history in how you got into this career path. I am interested in exploring this area and would like to know what kind of jobs and/or educational background someone in this line of work has to become successful.

Wieder einmal ganz unter sich (aber mit tatkräftiger Unterstützung des Chats) schwadronierten die drei Psychologen diesmal drei Stunden lang über Menschen, die sich selbst und andere nicht erkennen - und dem geneigten Hörer sei es überlassen zu entscheiden, ob damit Menschen mit Capgras- oder Cotard-Syndrom gemeint sind, oder einfach nur Manager. Zum Einstieg ging es um ein gutes Dutzend psychologischer Syndrome: Was sind Syndrome, und wie unterscheidet sich der Begriff in der Psychologie von dem in der Medizin? Welche Gefühlsstörung haben Capgras- und Cotard-Syndrom gemeinsam, und warum hat das nichts mit Zombies zu tun? Warum überkommen manche Touristen in Jerusalem, Paris und Florenz seltsame Anwandlungen? Und wo wir bei Städten sind: Warum ist Stockholm (und nicht Helsinki!) verwandt mit Lima? Gesprochen wird im Rückgriff auf die letzte Sendung auch über Messies (compulsive hoarding) und Tiersammler (animal hoarding). Schließlich kommen wir auf Syndrome, bei denen Menschen Dinge verzehren, die dazu nicht gedacht sind (Pica-Syndrom, aber auch Formen der Trichotillomanie), oder bei denen sie nicht das sagen (Ganser-Syndrom) oder so reden (Fremdsprachen-Akzent-Syndrom) wie man erwarten würde. Im Zusammenhang mit Syndromen erwähnen wir auch die Bücher von Oliver Sacks (vor allem "Der Mann der seine Frau mit einem Hut verwechselte"), die zumeist neurologische Störungen eindrucksvoll beschreiben. Thema des Hauptteils war die liebe Arbeit. Da ging es zunächst einmal darum, welche Rolle Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie in der Ausbildung der drei Podcaster gespielt hat: Warum Sebastian Ergonomie wichtig aber langweilig findet, Sven sich sogar bei den Wirtschaftspsychologen herumtrieb und Alexander seine Diplomarbeit über die Benutzerfreundlichkeit von Internetseiten schrieb. Ganz schnell ging es aber um ganz praktische Arbeitserfahrungen aus psychologischer Sicht: Was macht gute Führungskräfte und eine vernünftige Personalentwicklung aus? Warum motiviert Geld und Macht nicht jeden Menschen? Kommen wirklich nur die guten Manager nach oben (Peter-Prinzip)? Ist eine ordentliche "work-life-balance" nur dann erreichbar, wenn man sich selbständig macht? Aber auch: Warum möchten Sebastian und Sven ihre Jobs nicht tauschen, wie unterscheiden sich Sebastians und Alexanders Prioritäten in der Arbeit und im Privatleben, und was verbockt unser Bildungssystem wirklich in der Vorbereitung auf das Berufsleben? Im Zusammenhang mit Arbeit und Zufriedenheit erwähnen wir auch die Thesen und Bücher von Ken Robinson sowie das Buch "What color is your parachute?" von Richard N. Bolles (deutsch: "Durchstarten zum Traumjob"). Im abschließenden Werbeblock wurden wieder ganz viele aktuelle Projekte, Termine und Bücher des JMB-Verlags erwähnt, aber auch zwei konkrete Empfehlungen für andere Podcasts ausgesprochen: Historisch Interessierten sei "Das Geheime Kabinett" vom Buddler wärmstens empfohlen, und zum Thema Wissenschaft liefern mit "Methodisch Inkorrekt" zwei Physiker aus dem Ruhrgebiet Tolles ab. Reinhören! Schließlich enthält diese Folge auch etwas ungewollt Bonus-Material: Während der Live-Sendung entschied sich Skype zwei Mal, selbständig die Ton-Einstellungen zu verändern. Das führte dazu, dass plötzlich Alexander und Sebastian Sven nicht mehr hörten, die Live-Hörer nur noch Sven hörten, und für Sven alles normal erschien. Das klärte sich jeweils nach einigen Minuten. In der Aufnahme ist nun alles zu hören - und damit kommen die zeitsouveränen Podcast-Nachhörer in den Genuss einiger Minuten Material, das die Live-Zuhörer nicht mitbekommen hatten - inklusive einer Gesangseinlage von Alexander und Sebastian. Viel Spaß dabei!

He recommended that I have a five year plan, and he gave me a few ideas to considers. With so many paths - both inside and outside my company - where do I begin? Your 90th birthday party Your ideal day or week What Color Is Your Parachute* by Richard N. Bolles Question from Birger “'After observing O Sensei, the founder of Aikido, sparring with an accomplished fighter, a young student said to the master, 'You never lose your balance. What is your secret?' 'You are wrong,” Ōsensei replied. 'I am constantly losing my balance. My skill lies in my ability to regain it.'” Also see Coaching for Leaders episode #123 with John Corcoran Question from Mike I have started to set expectations and coaching within role, but I am finding it very difficult to get any engagement with anything I do. It feels like I am the outsider and they would quite like to leave it that way. I have looked for quick wins and found a few but again they seems to be disengagement, a different perspective may be good. What your thoughts?

I have looked for quick wins and found a few but again they seems to be disengagement, a different perspective may be good. What your thoughts? Leading Change* by John Kotter Five Dysfunctions of a Team* by Patrick Lencioni Question from Danielle I just started my job and am really excited to hit the ground running with a lot of on-going projects. One theme in particular that is highly important and consistent in my current assignments is the concept of Customer Retention Strategy. I just need to know (1) In your personal/professional experience, have there been any particular practices or techniques you have implemented that have proven successful and (2) are there any resources/materials you may suggest that would prove useful for my research?

Year by year author Richard N. Bolles continues to build on the tradition he started in 1970, of providing new help, with new ideas, and new guidance, each year, based on his continuous interviews with, and reports from, people in the field—job-hunters, human resource managers, and career-counselors alike—as to what is working this year, and what is not. The latest edition, What Color Is Your Parachute 2014, is filled with the latest strategies, new and enduring advice, poignant examples, and modern tools for the job hunt. Mr. Bolles was featured in the June issue of Forbes as the #1 wizard of job hunting and has been a guest on Starstyle® Be the Star You Are!® several times in past years sharing his wisdom. In Health Matters, Heather Brittany offers a prescription for living life by cultivating good habits. She shows you how to bury the bad habits that bring you down. How do you assess creativity and how can you develop it? All creativity is not artistic as there are geniuses in mathematics, medicine, science, technology, and every other field. Cynthia Brian will look at the spark that ignites the fire in our minds that juices our creative impulses. Are you ready to tap in to your flame?
