Welcome!
Although you might think my work as a career counselor would be mainly about helping people find work and career paths that suit them, it's much more than that; it's actually about helping people realize a good quality of life.
Quality of life means different things for different people: you define what your own quality of life will look like.
That's the wonderful, and the tricky, part of the career development process. It's the blend of personal choice and desire with the reality of workplace structure, the need for health benefits, the sacrifices that are often required to achieve a dream. And, I must say, the typical workplace does not invite the quality of life that most people seek, even for highly diligent and motivated employees.
That's why I'm a strong proponent of systemic and organizational change as well as personal career development. This blog and web site address both the personal/individual, and the big/systemic pictures related to this quest for quality of life.
I look forward to hearing your ideas - what's worked for you? What needs to happen? Any success stories on either the individual or the big picture scale? Please read the blog and feel free to make constructive comments. I welcome the dialog!
