Follow Your Vision!
September 20th, 2009 by Beth Kennedy
I recently had a Director, who I am coaching; tell me about a really difficult work situation. He has been working with and for a stressful boss for a very long time. I asked him why he had never considered leaving his position. He used the saying that we all hear very often these days, “It is what it is!” We need to ask ourselves sometimes, “Do we let our career or our life lead us or do we have a direction and a vision to follow?”
Creating a personal vision statement is a great gift to give yourself. Begin by asking the following questions:
1. What do I want my life and career to look like 5 years from now?
2. What is one thing missing from my career right now?
3. What is missing from my life right now?
4. What does success mean to you?
5. What values are most important to you? i.e friends, family, passions….
Vision statements describe your unique vision of what an ideal experience in each of your life areas would look like. They tend to focus on the distant future looking forward five to ten years. They represent the ideal outcome.
A vision statement can be a bunch of bullets or even a small paragraph. The key to a vision statement is that it works like a compass. When year after year you realize your level of happiness is decreasing whether it be from career or life choices…you need to ask yourself why?
My experience with the clients that I coach has been that my clients that rank themselves as having a high level of happiness in their career and personal life find that they are living or following their vision!
If you do not have a vision statement for yourself, this may be the time to do it. If you already have one..challenge yourself to really explore if the decisions you are making are aligned with your vision. Once you write a vision statement, you will be surprised how you make better decisions and your life will be more fulfilling! Start today and write down your vision and watch it begin to happen!

Stress Management, Parrotheads & Passion!
September 13th, 2009 by Beth Kennedy
Went to see the Jimmy Buffet concert at Jones Beach on Long Island, NY this summer! We first tailgated with my family and celebrated my Niece’s birthday! I was once again struck by how nice and welcoming people can be! Everywhere my seven year old daughter went people were giving her fun free beach stuff – what is better than a parrot pen or Marino’s Italian Ice when your 7 years old?
When the world is filled with so much stress and anxiety how refreshing it is to be somewhere so focused on fun! To watch Buffet sing his heart out, with the ocean behind him, reminded me of the magic he brings! It was my 11 year old daughter’s first “real” concert and to see the smile on her face was priceless!
I can’t help being someplace like this and seeing how passion can bring such happiness to so many people. Whether your gifted like Buffet or just passionate about music or something else…..it is such a reminder to me how important it is to follow your passions whatever they may be!

Job Search Process
August 2nd, 2009 by Beth Kennedy
It is important to keep a positive attitude during the job search process. A tip on how to do this is using affirmations. Create a list of positive affirmations, about you, your skills and abilities, that you can read several times a day, each time you have a negative thought.
Some things you can write are:
- I am going to find a job that will fulfill me
- I have the skills for this job
Always say “I” in your affirmations.
Studies have shown that after 30 days this becomes a pattern and you will naturally repeat these positive affirmations.
When The Student Is Ready The Teacher Will Appear
July 24th, 2009 by Beth Kennedy
This is a Buddhist proverb. Though it has ‘spiritual connotations, of course, it does mean more than that.
When you needed to learn new skills to advance in your field, accomplish or attain goals you thought were well beyond your reach, gain new perspectives on situations at work and at home, you often found someone to help you. That certain person seemed to ‘arrive’ at just the right moment. You were ready.
Want to succeed in your company, career and life? Well the coach is here, is the student ready to Spark Success?
Coaching is a process of discovery, goal setting and meaningful action.
