Love your job - the career coaching newsletter, December issue
December 2007
Welcome to the December newsletter. May I begin by sharing some great news. I’ve won a national career award for my Gold Career Programme. The competition is sponsored by The Independent Newspaper and I was delighted to win first prize in the working with adults category. I’ve got a great piece of crystal on a bookcase, a certificate on the wall and recognition for all the work I’ve been doing with clients. I’m delighted that so many of my previous clients were happy to write testimonials which, I think, really enhanced my application.
I’ve also been working incredibly hard. I’ve got a lot of projects on the go, I’m manage to juggling them ok but will be glad to get them completed.Â
Very soon you will be able to visit my new web site. I don’t have the technical capability to do what I want it to do and it will take too long to learn (I’m not a web designer but a career guide). I’m using an expert and making better use of my time, but I still have to rewrite text, think about structure, choose graphics, and liaise with designers. I don’t think I had realised just how much time this would take. Â
What have I learnt from being so busy? Perhaps to think about if I really do need to do everything right away. I didn’t need to have new business stationery and business cards created at the same time, and this could have waited. However I did decide not to help my husband with his business idea – I’ve told him he’s my priority when I’ve finished my urgent and essential pile. Â
All the other tasks I have are piled up in order of priority so I can focus on the most essential tasks first. It would be so easy to get distracted by the nice to do, but that isn’t finishing off new web pages. I’ll let you know when its up.
In the meantime plenty for you to read this month

Take care, and talk soon
