"Though changing careers can be a scary thing, many people do it successfully and enjoy the rewards of new challenges and better pay. My dad, Harry Tolles, is one person who found happiness in a different industry. Midway through the nineties, my dad started on his path to a career change by going back to school to earn his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. Consequently, my forty-something father joined the growing numbers of non-traditional students.nnBack to S

There is a place where ideals can crush you instead of inspire you. It’s like you stop looking at the North Star as a guide and you start looking at it as a benchmark of your own light instead. Comparing your business potential or art to those who have already established themselves is cruel and pointless. Nobody starts out as a gold medalist. Nobody begins at the Grammys... nn Perhaps you, too, suffer from this “instant master” syndrome, some persistent hallucination t

One sparrow-boned, average mother in a cotton dress thrusts up a Pontiac Grand Am to rescue a crushed and wailing child. She doesn't think about it. She does not analyze how a woman of one hundred and ten pounds who normally can't lift more than two bags of canned groceries can hoist up a ton of Detroit-fired steel. She doesn't think about her own injuries, the heat and fumes, the angle of the steaming vehicle or the medical expenses to come later. Instead, love fills her wit

The universe has invited us all to thrive in our lives and no one and nothing is ever holding us back. nnI know so many creative soul friends who cloister their abilities like pe

Would you like to honor your mom or grandma or even your great grandmother on their birthday or another special occasion? One of the best ways to do that is to create a Gratitude Vision Board or Tribute Board. TOOL TO IMPROVE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIPS As many of you know a Vision Board is a collage-type display that you can create simply by cutting pictures out of a magazine and mounting them on a posterboard. But to really honor your mom or to work on creating a stronger bond between mother and daughter or son.

One of the reasons that I wrote The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life was to dispel any superstition or ‘woo –woo’ thinking about creating vision boards.

At this time of the year, many of us are looking forward to a great summer and we may also be looking at what we've accomplished so far in 2009.

What am I talking about? A vision statement is a vivid, idealized description of the outcome that you want. Something that inspires ...

Vision Boards are also known as "dream boards", "wish boards", "Treasure maps" "Life Collage", "Wisdom Collage" and other names. The history of the Vision Board dates back to the caveman era where pictures of animals and other visuals were sketched or painted on walls of caves and nown known as Cave Paintings.

When going through a career change, it’s important to know what to expect every step of the way and this includes the interview process. Below, we’ve outlined ten of the most common interview questions and how to best answer them. 1. "Tell me about yourself..."

As someone in a career transition, you need to outline the most important past events in regards to education, professional positioning and skills in a few minutes flat. Be bold, be brief and be honest. 2.

As I write in the first chapter of my book THE VISION BOARD: the secret to an extraordinary life, "visioning is a self-exploration process that is sometimes compared to a combination of "soul searching" and meditation and even incorporates improvisation techniques. VISIONING AROUND THE WORLD Visioning is a group-focussed activity that encourages people to gather together and get input from others to envision their best possible life.

More than 200,000 people lost their jobs last month (August 2009) and unemployment is up to 9.7%. Nearly seven million jobs have been lost since the recession began in December of 2007.

Last night my Shih-tzu and I went for the second night in a row to an animal shelter to visit with a very sweet Irish Setter Collie mix. We waited 45 minutes to visit with this beauty the night before and the shelter was ready to close when we got our turn. So after a brief visit, I was asked to bring Coco back for another visit the next night because there wasn’t time to process an adoption anyway. But, my heart was already captured by this charmer with one blue and one brown eye. She was great on the lead and not at all dominant with Coco.

You're on the way to a job interview and you're already late because you couldn't find your car keys and you found a mark on your suit that you tried to clean off but made worse. You get on the freeway and suddenly you get a flat tire. You've had a breakdown. You can't get to the interview on time. And you know that the cardinal rules of interviews is to get there on time. You have three choices: change the tire - and get filthy dirty, call AAA and hope they come fast or sit down and cry.
