Well I’m delighted to say I’ll be at the Conference and Hospitality Show in Leeds on the 18th March.  If you’re considering a career in Events Management, or already have one but are looking for something that’s more fulfilling with increased job satisfaction, then pop along.  The event is free to attend and I’ll be there all day to answer any questions you have and point you in the direction of useful career resources.

Over the last 7 years I’ve had the privilege of helping clients from around the world discover their very own career formula and go on to achieve a level of success in 1, 2 or 3 years that previously it would have taken them 5 or more years to make happen

Many of us only dream of finding a job that brings a deep sense of fulfilment and allows us to express our true self and thrive, even in times of uncertainty.  If you are searching for your job with meaning within the events industry and need some help and guidance, then come along.  You’ll also get to meet lots of other useful contacts, plus the seminars are filled with practical advice and information on organising conferences and events.

As a child what did you want to be when you grew up?  Nurse, fireman and teacher were the hot options at my infant school.  Then of course you somehow realise there are more options out there.

I’m still surprised at the number of people who tell me what they do, listen to what I do and then wistfully say “ahh but I’d love to ….or as a child I always wanted to be …” as a profession.  What stops them from pursuing this desire? - being sensible and responsibility are the 2 most popular answers.  Apparently I am blessed and lucky to be able to do what I love.  Well so I’m told.   So why do I get to do what I love, and others don’t?  Especially as I’ve never thought of myself as unsensible or irresponsible.   What is it that causes one person to choose to remain in an unfulfilling job and another to go out and pursue it?

I have a hypothesis, just as “I don’t have the time” is very often an excuse rather than the truth, responsibility and sensibleness are also acceptable excuses.  We can trot them out in public without fear of ridicule or being called on them.  These are socially acceptable ways of skirting the real issue of why someone has chosen to stay where they are.  And choosing to stay where you are is not wrong, but what about a bit of authenticity in the answer, how about “I’m too scared”, or “I can’t be bothered”, or “my job is currently funding my kit car and once that’s built then I’ll think about it”.  Well at least we wouldn’t be having a superficial conversation trying to smoother some simmering passion.

Then again some of the answers I’ve had include “you need a degree, or you have to be charismatic”.  In both cases I didn’t agree so I found out how they knew their reason to be true, and we shared our evidence.  I’m pleased to say that upon hearing contrary evidence they went off with renewed vigor, the stumbling block removed.  Sometimes what’s stopping us is real, other times it’s all an illusion.

So now I am asking myself what else would I love to do this year, and what’s stopping me, is it real or an illusion.  The real blocks will take a bit longer to break down, but the beauty of illusions is they lose their power as soon as you see through them.

Right now I’m breathing a sigh of relief, whilst also feeling slightly chuffed (translation = pleased with myself).

Why - because I’ve just launched a multi media product that helps individuals find and build a career that they love and let’s them express their real self.  Confidence, self esteem and job fulfilment increase massively as a consquence.

After donkey’s years of reading hundreds of books, attending several very expensive workshops and seminars, practicing on myself mercilessly, working with thousands of clients and leading many workshops, I’ve finally done it.  I’ve put together a practical, structured and informative multimedia package that helps you uncover the job and workplace you’re meant to thrive in.

In today’s economy it’s tempting to accept less, to think job satisfaction is enough.  That being able to build a successful career, where you get to be you and do what you love, is some type of fantasy.

But what if you could uncover your personal combination that sets you on the right career path?    I mean you could go through life with trial and error in finding the job, career and corporate environment that lets you shine. 

With a career that spans 21 years, I spent the first 12 years doing the whole trial and error approach to unlocking my personal code, and I can say it has very little to recommend it, but once I found my key that’s when things really began to take off. 

For the last 6 years I’ve been helping my clients find a job with meaning.   One that brings a deep sense of fulfilment; allows them to express their true identity and thrive, even in uncertainty.  And right now, more than ever, these are uncertain times.

So I’ve put together my proven process and system that takes you through this mental lock picking and in as little as 8 hours you could have your key to finding job fulfilment.

Take a look

Right,  I think I’ll reward myself with some chocolate and then it’s back to it.
