What I Wish I Had Known Before Writing My First Book - by Joanna Penn. Career Coaches May Not Always Be Best Call: Guidance Can Be Helpful, But Job Seekers Have to Take Charge of Own Path. From MSNBC.com – New York, NY, USA By Eve Tahmincioglu June 7, 2009 Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone tell you what to do with your career? Someone who can make job-hunting decisions for you when you are laid off or looking to switch your line of work? Unfortunately, this person does not exist.
I’m telling you this because lately some of you have been hiring or looking to hire so-called career coaches with the idea that they can help you find career nirvana. Such coaches can be helpful in offering career guidance, but you need to beware of scammers and individuals promising you a quick path to the perfect job. Lack of oversight and the tough job market seem to be fueling a coaching explosion. With the jobless rate at a 26-year high, many workers in today’s economy are looking for a little hand-holding, and some career coaches are capitalizing on that, says Ben Dattner, a New York-based management consultant and adjunct professor at New York University.

It’s easier to blather on for an hour than talk for a tight 18 minutes knowing that if you go over, you (literally) will get the hook.
The talks I give usually take me a comfortable 45 minutes but I needed to get the insights out in 18 minutes. The culling process forces you to convey only the most important information for spreading your idea. The amount of rehearsal time is inversely proportionate to the length of the talk. I delivered one talk at TEDxEast and was thrilled to look up at the clock just as it was ticking down with :06 seconds left on the clock. Here are the ten steps I went through in rehearsing for my talks. 1. I trimmed and trimmed and trimmed until I felt like it was close to 18 minutes. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
I’m Speaking at TEDx– sort of. The much-discussed TEDWomen conference is just around the corner. With the official speaker lineup now published, and the website updated, we can now consider whether the TED organization has “heard” the criticisms and concerns about TEDWomen and incorporated them into their approach for the actual conference. Call me crazy, but I was hoping to see some authentic response from TED, that spoke directly to the system-level issues of becoming more inclusive. We’ll have to give TED the benefit of the doubt, since there is little in their external communications to suggest that significant changes have been made. Without insider views, we can’t know what has really gone on within the organization to address fundamental concerns about a marginalizing, patronizing, or even merely superficial approach to the under-representation of women on the main TED stage.
Instead of dying, the conversation is now going LIVE, right after a TEDx event here in NYC.

By 11newlaws108,on October 20th,2009 Admit it,oftentimes you see yourself in a variety of different lights. More often than not,you feel that you do not really know yourself fully:what you really want,where you want to go and how you truly feel about yourself and the life you are living in now. This is fully understandable because times are forever changing and us along with it. This means that your tastes change,your ideas change and sometimes maybe even your beliefs change. That is why what you need to do is master yourself.
In order to do so,you need to work hard at it. You need to do is to make an assessment about yourself. You also need to have the determination and the self-control to succeed in this endeavor.
