Thought for the Week

I have to be honest. Today my thoughts are empty. Interesting concept really - is it possible? Is it really possible to not be thinking anything? No, not really. :-)

I had the pleasure of attending an E-Women Network event on Friday here in Victoria and a part of the event was some mini-coaching sessions. One thing that resonated with me most was that "self-care and self-discovery are business development strategies". In other words, taking time to rejuvenate and to stop thinking are all part of running a successful business!

This is great news! This means that we need to get up, walk away from the computer, stop worrying about what everyone is wanting from us and just enjoy a Sunday afternoon! It also means that yup - it is possible to have empty thoughts that feed us for another busy week. Or at least, that's my story and I am sticking to it!

Enjoy your week!

Big thanks to Lynda Monk of Creative Wellness for these words of wisdom! Check out her site for wonderful tools and resources on guided mediation and reflective journal writing.

Upcoming Events

CDC/ITP Conference

March 5th & 6th, 2012

Vancouver, BC

I am very excited to be presenting at the CDC Conference this year. On Tuesday, March 6th at 3:30 - 4:30 pm I am presenting my session:

Creating Significance: Leading Teams in the new Employment Program

Implementation of the new employment program is changing the landscape of what career development services look like in each and every organization in BC. As Executive Directors, Program Managers and Team Leaders, you are responsible for leading the way, building engagement in your team throughout the process. That can be hard to do when you are being directed to follow very specific guidelines from the Ministry and when you know that to reach your revenue targets, you have to change the way you serve clients. This session is an opportunity to discuss how to create significance for your teams as they learn the new definitions of what service delivery is going to look like and as they grapple with the way they can interact with their clients.

EARLY BIRD DEADLINE EXTENDED!

Early Bird Rates for CDC have been extended to February 27th!
