The Yoga of Time Travel was a text I read several years ago about the nature of not just time, but how Time as an experience and force exists and can be worked with in the mind. Fred Alan Wolf’s knowledge isn’t new; the old wisdom from before the Atlanteans …
Don’t be fooled by the title; nothing in the world is truly free. Energetically, there’s always an exchange. In the case of these resources, the trade will be your attention, focus, your intelligence and commitment to utilize what’s provided. The current pandemic is slowing the economy down and keeping people …
So you’ve done your homework. You found a list of 10 companies you want to apply to. The job descriptions look too good to be true and you could see yourself growing with the brands. Is it a dream? It is until you make this one move. You decide to …
Working in teams can be both a challenging and fulfilling experience. Ultimately you want to see your project successfully complete. At times this can pose a conflict: are you willing to compromise on your ideas, give in to others’ or stand up for your contributions? Whether in a team of …
Professionalism is an art that challenges us to put forth our best public image and manifest our highest self-image. To be professional is to maintain a level of conduct that produces positive outcomes for all parties involved. This is how we build credibility. When we think of professional development, often …
How Important Are Years of Experience (YoE) in a Job Posting? Like education requirements, this is an area for revision. Quantitatively, this is the amount of time a person has been immersed in a space. If John Doe has 3 years of experience, it can mean he’s been “in the …
Imagine yourself at a networking event. There you are, dressed in your best professional clothes because that’s what the advertisement suggested on Meetup.com. You’re standing at the front entrance. It’s about 45 minutes after the event started; you didn’t want to be the absolute first one to walk in without …
Strategic planning is at the core of career reputation management. Preparation. Positioning. Thinking not just of how circumstances are now but how they can be in the future. How a professional intends to direct that future. This connects quite conveniently to the knowledge of time in metaphysics, which proposes that …
A workshop differs from a presentation or lecture in the focus on the “work” in the “shop” the space creates. Some kind of effort is done that places the audience in a direct experience of the topic. In a workshop, the audience tends to leave with results from the activities …
If you use an Internet search engine to research a topic, if you aren’t absorbing information from an organization you’re likely to do so from someone’s blog. Test it out for yourself. Search “The best way to shine shoes” and scan the first 10 links. Blogs. “Blogging” is defined by …

Meetings appear to be dry gatherings of little worth, but they can be useful opportunities to expand your influence for missions you resonate with. P.S. – Meetings don’t just happen in companies and can take many forms (masterminds, lunch out, the classic golf scene, impromptu) so it’s essential to know …
Harmony in Chakras is now available for order! The book is a substantial text. The 30+ authors contributing I knew would make it a lengthy piece, but the book quality itself is also impressively robust and heavy like a true textbook. I see this supporting the feel a reader may …
Lack of follow-up is a dastardly habit many of us suffer from. It looks like this: John Doe meets Jane Doe. John and Jane have a valuable conversation. They sync and recognize they could do business together. John gives Jane his contact information. Jane gives John hers. They part ways …

When there are many members in the meeting, it’s likely there will be plenty of information, recommendations, cross-talk, possible disputes, ideas, all sorts of …

Mentioned in one of my previous writings, this engagement is a reciprocal relationship and should be treated as such. When the candidate forgets this, she becomes susceptible to …
Two conversations over the past days sparked interest in covering E-mail management. Checking my inboxes from the multiple E-mail accounts, I thought having 40-60 new messages was a large number. Some of us are working with 1000-18,000 new inbox messages! Reflected on my time career counseling college students and this …
