Seth Godin asks a great question that is exciting for people like us to contemplate. Sharing it because he’s asked us to. For all he’s given, let’s jump at the chance to give back.

What are you going to do when it’s your turn?

Turn to do what?

Exactly.

Today’s career thought continues with a home thought for the day at the Next Blog

Happy New Year 2012!

Now showing, our dreams and hopes from 90 days ago.

Assuming you came here from jeffnoel.org, by clicking Next Blog. But I’ll say it again just in case – all Mid Life Celebration April 2012 posts have been written 90 days in the past.

That means as I type these words, it’s New Year’s Day. For real. 🙂

On New Year’s Day, we dreamt some ambitious thoughts for this year to be better than 2011. How’s that working out?

PS. I dreamt of this experiment – writing about today’s wishes for the future  -and then checking in when the future arrives, to see how it ended.

Competent Incompetent

Hmmm...
Hmmm...

Has anyone ever called you a competent incompetent?

If so, consider yourself a rookie. But, a rookie with incredible opportunity.

In today’s rapidly changing work environment, even seasoned professionals may sometimes feel like a competent incompetent.

And there’s just one thing I’d like to say about that. Remember who you are and why they hired you in the first place.

When I first became a professional speaker, I knew nothing, zip, zilch, notta, zero, about public speaking.

This was a good thing, my new boss told me.

What the?

And what’s weird about his comment, I agreed with him.

I was fully aware I didn’t know a thing about my new career path.

Public Speaking for a large Central Florida company was frightening. The people that made up the team I just joined were seasoned professionals.

Me?

The new guy, that didn’t have a clue. But they eluded to the reason why they hired me, over all their other choices.

“You have the most heart!  The most passion.”

Here we are, 11 years later.
