Creating Your Perfect Work


It’s a fact. Most people today will have several different careers before they “retire” – or “re-fire” or “pro-tire” as I like to think of living in the later years. With longer life spans, good health care and more opportunities, workers have never faced so many choices in how to earn a living and make a contribution through the self-expression called “work.” My approach to creating your ideal work – whether that involves working for yourself or working in an organization – follows some specific steps.

  1. Perfect the Present
    Everywhere you go, there you are. If you are unsatisfied where you are, you may bring those habits of thought with you to your new work.
    We’ll work together to make your current situation as perfect as possible.
  2. Who are you?
    We’ll spend some time getting to know YOU – your strengths, gifts, needs and values. There are a number of assessments we can use to help you discover you – who you are today. We’ll look at your purpose and why you came to the planet in the first place.
  3. What do you want to create?
    We’ll create a picture or a description of your ideal job. This clarity of focus makes it easier to attract the ideal position to you.
  4. What’s in the market?
    Here we discover what’s “out there.” We look at industries, types of organizations, etc. to see where you might want to apply. Informational interviewing is part of this process.
  5. The Sales Campaign


As you go hire yourself an employer, you are engaged in a sales process. You are determining if there is a match or fit between what you want and can offer and what a prospective company can offer you. Resume creation, interviewing, and networking are part of this stage of the process.


The length of the process depends upon how quickly you can move through the stages and the timing of what’s available in the market.
