 Evaluating Opportunities with the Compass from Using the Career Compass to Find Your Work and Career [Audio] (0:54) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Using the Career Compass to Find Your Work and Career with Douglas E. Welch  Listen to this clip   Read the book Douglas E. Welch (http://douglasewelch.com) presents to the class Career Development – Theories and Techniques at Pepperdine Graduate School of Education & Psychology taught by fellow CareerCamp Co-Chair, Danielle Gruen The two biggest challenges are deciding what you want to do as a career and then building the career you deserve once you decide. I discuss the Career Compass method of discovering your career wants, needs and desires and then using various social media tools to show people “What you do and how well you do it” Transcript: Because that’s how opportunities happen, Serendipity walks up with a baseball bat. “PING” and something you’ve never thought of  — or 2 things combined — which is whole other talk that I give about how things bumping up against each other — interest bumping up against each other — suddenly spur entirely new careers and everything else. When you use the Career Compass you can say, “Ok. Here;s this opportunity. What are the elements of this opportunity? It contains music. It contains travel. It contains — it can have that bad business travel element possibly in there, for me.” I can then come to my Compass and say. “Where does it fit?” Where does this opportunity fall on my Compass? Are there any aspects of the opportunity that are down here? Bad sign. Red flag. Down here. I’m already doing those things I don’t like. No. Red flag. You can say anything below the middle here — the equator here — you don’t want to go there.    Links for items mentioned in this talk: * Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Career Compass Kindle Book * Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners * Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.

 Thinking About Your Career Helps Everyone from Transition is the New Normal 2016 [Audio] (1:04) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

A clip from the presentation, “Transition is the New Normal” to OPEN (Outstanding Professionals Employment Network) Ventura County in Simi Valley, CA on March 4, 2016 Watch this entire presentation Listen to this clip   Transcript: That’s a thing to think about is there major aspects of this job that simply do not fit you. You’re going to do this thinking for yourself. You’re also going to do it for the company looking to hire you. Sometimes companies will hire someone because they just need to hire somebody. Regardless, necessarily of how good of a fit that person is. You’re both going to be served very, very poorly by that situation. It will result in friction. It will result in conflict. It will result in just a generally bad experience for everyone involved. You, your coworkers, your management, the company, everybody. I always seek to avoid that and again, this is one way of doing it. It’s nothing fancy. It’s just a way — like this little trick — it’s just a way to get you to think differently or to get you to think at all. I know myself. I get tied up in stress and stuff and I just start acting. I start reacting to everything and there are times when you need to stop reacting and start thinking.  Links for items mentioned in this talk: * Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Career Compass Kindle Book * * Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners * Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.

I discuss the Career Compass method of discovering your career wants, needs and desires and then using various social media tools to show people “What you do and how well you do it” Transcript: People tend to think that just talking about an opportunity means they’re accepting it and I have to talk them down from the ledge and say, “No. No. No. It’s just an opportunity. Why wouldn’t you go meet with that person? Why wouldn’t you go and have coffee with that person? Why wouldn’t you talk about this opportunity?” Yes, it might be totally — I got asked once to go on a tour through Japan with a blues guitarist as his harmonica player. Well, I didn’t do that professionally. I did it as a hobby, but events arise. It didn’t happen, but you know, events arose. I had to really think about that for a while. I hadn’t ever thought of that. What a weird thing and it scared me and I wanted to say “No, no, no, no”, but I had to say, “No. Why can’t I talk about it.” In this case, it didn’t happen. Lots of opportunities are going to happen, but you don’t want to be the one turning away that opportunity that is going to change your life forever.   Links for items mentioned in this talk: * Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Career Compass Kindle Book * Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners * Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.

 Evaluating Future Opportunities with the Career Compass from Transition is the New Normal 2016 [Audio] (0:53) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

A clip from the presentation, “Transition is the New Normal” to OPEN (Outstanding Professionals Employment Network) Ventura County in Simi Valley, CA on March 4, 2016 Watch this entire presentation Listen to this clip   Transcript: Now, what I like best about the compass is, not only is good to decide about your current work that you might be doing, every opportunity that comes down the road now — once you’ve done this once — can be used, can be evaluated against the compass. What are the major aspects of this job? X, Y, and Z. Where do X, Y and Z fit on the compass? Well, that’s going to tell you right away that jobs are a good fit for you. This isn’t about money. This isn’t about the company. It’s not about that. To me, the first thing you have to figure out is, “is this a fit for me? Can I do great work in this job?” Where does X, Y, and Z fit on the compass? Well, if they’re down here, that’s a red flag. That’s a red flag and you’re going to have to do some much more deep thinking about it.  Links for items mentioned in this talk: * Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Career Compass Kindle Book * * Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners * Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.

The other great thing I like about it is it can help you evaluate opportunities that come to you. Because in the next section we’re going to talk about this whole opportunity economy or whatever you want to call it. Oftentimes, if an opportunity shows up to you out of the blue, what is your first response? Well, I know for me it’s fear. You get that fight or flight response. You’re like “Oh no. That’s too different. I can’t …” and oftentimes I see people –myself included — slam the door in opportunity’s face. “Why did I do that?”  Links for items mentioned in this talk: * Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Career Compass Kindle Book * Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners * Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.

Away from the noise, the family and work and life in general and just start associating and thinking about these things. That’s why —  the form of the compass is just a way to help us think and bring up ideas and give us something to think about and give us a way to take kind of these free-floating thoughts and get them into something concrete that we can use.  Links for items mentioned in this talk: * Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Career Compass Kindle Book * * Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners * Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.

I discuss the Career Compass method of discovering your career wants, needs and desires and then using various social media tools to show people “What you do and how well you do it” Transcript: Does that make sense to people? Ok. If you were to sit down with this and draw this out — and I sort of would like you guys to at some point in your lives. I say you should revisit the compass about every 6 months really because life changes that frequently these days. You know you were going along happy go lucky and single living in a one bedroom apartment or a studio apartment having a good old time and then you meet someone you really, really like. Ok, that changes everything. When I met my wife in college — I met her my fall, the first night of my fall semester in college. I’d been there in the summer — for one quester in the summer — we met the first night of fall semester. My entire life changed. We have — we’ve not been apart since. We’ve been married 30 years in June and known each other for 32 beyond that at least.

That’s the one — can I draw a skull and crossbones here — maybe? This is the quadrant you need to watch out for, but very important to think about. These are things you don’t like doing that you NEVER want to do. My lovely wife is here recording my talk today and she told me back when she was student teaching — we met in college — she came home from here student teaching — her first student teaching experience in an elementary school and was like “Oh my god, I can’t work, no, no, oh, I just want to mother all these children. I can’t be an authority figure. I can’t be a disciplinarian. I feel so sorry for them. I can’t work with young kids.” and she didn’t. She knew no, no, no, working with — no — “I need to work with high schoolers” and that’s what she did. She ended up working with high school kids over here. She discovered that.  Links for items mentioned in this talk: * Video: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Audio: Career Compass: Finding Your Career North from CareerCampSCV 2012 * Career Compass Kindle Book * * Video Archives: Career Prescriptions at Tuesdays with Transitioners * Video: CareerCamp: New Unconference Methods for Helping People Build the Career They Deserve with Douglas E.
