Great Work Great Career – Complimentary Webcast
When we say that a person has had a great career, what do we mean? That he or she made a lot of money? Moved spectacularly up the corporate ladder? Became famous or renowned in their profession?
And what about you? Are you looking forward to a great career? Would you describe your current career as “great”?
How do you create a great career for yourself? Can you have a great career and still have a great life at the same time, keeping the things you love – family, friends, work, and play – all in balance?
The answer is, “It depends.” It depends on how you want to contribute and how you define balance.
Based on content featured in the soon to be released book Great Work, Great Career, by Dr. Stephen R. Covey and Jennifer Colosimo, in this webcast Jennifer will share critical, insightful principles and practices to help you discover your great career by discovering what your contribution will be and how you will make it.
Specifically in this free webcast you will learn:
- How to begin identify your strengths, as summed up by your talents, passion, and conscience.
- Tips on how to craft a Contribution Statement.
- How to use your resourcefulness and initiative to get the job you want and overcome obstacles to making your contribution.
- How to create a network of supporters, both co-workers and clients—who can help you achieve your career goals.

Rule 1: Embrace Change
Embracing change begins with desire. Without the desire to change it is inevitable that change will not occur. Desire is the first step in the 7 rules for positive change (more about the remaining rules to come.) This desire needs to spring up from you and you alone-no one can do it for you. It lies deep with in the recesses of your own heart and soul.
I have found that desire can come from:
1. A bold vision of a better future
2. You’re unhappy with where you are right now (emotional pain)
3. Learning from your behavior and evaluating the results (trying to get better)
Let’s explore each of these. › Continue reading
A Personal Mission Statement – It’s time.
This next week I’m off to chaperone at a church youth camp and one of the things I’m responsible for is a hike where we’ll take time to meditate and journal write so I needed to prepare a short training exercise to engage the young people. The 7 Habits of Teens has a really fun exercise called The Great Discovery so I thought it would be fun to lead my group through their own great discovery.
I felt like I really needed to freshen up my mission statement before I could teach and advise others to write theirs. It was several years ago when I first attended a 7 Habits workshop (and trust me, it was several years ago). It was at Sundance in the summer and a beautiful place to enjoy nature and discover my passion through writing my first personal mission statement. Since that time, I’ve had another child, put two daughters through college, celebrated many more wedding anniversaries, and advanced my career to my dream job. A lot has happened since that first mission statement was written and my paradigm on life has matured.
So, in a hurry I thought I’d try out the Mission Statement Builder tool on the FranklinCovey website. I thought I’ll get this done in a hurry, it can’t be that difficult, I’ll do it while I’m listening in to this conference call-you know how we multi-task while the phone’s on mute, admit it you do it too. › Continue reading
Webinars 101
Attention fellow facilitators – it’s a whole new world out there and this blog is to let you know that, with passion and sweat equity, you too can become an effective facilitator in this new, important way to deliver training.
Vanity is one of my core values and with that comes an aversion to alluding to my age. Suffice it to say that I have been conducting live, classroom training for a really long time. (Okay, Okay! I have been in the people development biz since 1985!) So, what happened when this Baby Boomer (close to Gen Xer, though!) was given the opportunity/privilege to develop and deliver training via FranklinCovey’s brand of LiveClicks Webinars? (Resolving Generational Conflict)
I wasn’t sure if I was the right person to be doing these. After all, I am used to face-to-face interaction with participants in workshops. I found learning the technology intimidating and a little frustrating. I ran scared for awhile then relied on what I know to be true for me, something I learned eons ago: Perfect Practice Makes Perfect. I practiced like crazy in my office, online for hours, (with only Sparky the dog as my audience), going through the layouts and getting the presentation just so. I attended many other Webinars to determine what made them effective; I made sure that my technical systems were running perfectly. By doing these things, my energy during the session was focused on the participants’ verbal responses and chat offerings. › Continue reading
