The New Dance
Poor Pluto. Stripped of its planetary status by the International Astronomical Union and reclassified as a "dwarf planet," two years ago, Pluto's demotion heralds new rules for planet classification. Debate by renowned astronomers from seventy-five countries culminated in the decision to reduce the number of planets to eight "classic" ones.

Mentors Make Magic in Your Life
How about you? Do you have a mentor? Do you have someone you talk to on a regular basis about your career, life, job and anything else that is important in your life? I don’t mean a friend, or a buddy, I mean a mentor. Someone who will listen with an open mind and give you the straight advice you need. Webster defines mentor as: “A wise and trusted counselor or teacher”. Do you have one?

Facing a career transition? You are not alone!
Whenever I meet someone to discuss their career needs, it is not unusual for them to feel as if the career issues they face are unique. While the specifics are unique, facing a career transition is not.
Mentors – Do you have one?
I had a meeting with one of my clients the other week for breakfast and as we were finishing up and attempt to schedule our next meeting, we ran into a conflict. He could not meet with me on Tuesday for breakfast, that was the day every week he had breakfast with his mentor, and he had to buy. Not a strange story, until you add the fact that my client was 65 and his mentor, 82.

How to develop a career action plan
The focus of this article is on the development of your career action plan. However, the process can also be easily adapted to other areas of your life.

The State of the Union, Common Sense and Success
Successful people embrace and use their common sense. They apply four key common success principles: 1) clarity of purpose and direction; 2) a sincere commitment to taking personal responsibility for your life and career; 3) unshakeable self confidence; and 4) competence in several key skills. In the State of the Union address, President Obama called common sense a novel concept. It may be. However, if you are serious about creating the successful life and career you want and deserve, you will embrace your common sense. You'll apply your inner knowing of what to do to when it comes to succeeding in this life and in your career.
Stuck in the Wrong Career - Changing Career Ladders
Are you stuck in the wrong career? Do you ever wake up and wonder, "How did I get here?" Our careers often happen to us, rather than for us. Being in the wrong career often means living life on hold, waiting for something to change. These tips for leaping to another career ladder put YOU in charge!
Become a Remarkable Creature: Take Personal Responsibility for Your Own Success
Successful people are clear on their purpose and direction in life. They commit to taking personal responsibility for living their life purpose. If you want to achieve career success, you need to do the same. Clarify what you want from your life and career. Then commit to doing whatever it takes to get it. Set high goals. React positively to the setbacks, problems and negative people and events in your life. Keep at it. Don't let a day when you come back empty handed in your quest for career success get you down. Get up the next day with optimism in your heart and keep working toward the mighty purpose you've set for yourself.
Create Your Success
If you want to succeed you need to do at least four things: 1) Get clear on --your purpose and direction in your life and career; 2) Commit to taking personal responsibility for your life and career; 3) Build unshakeable self confidence; 4) Develop the competencies you need to succeed. Yes, there's a lot to learn, but there is one point I make over and over again with my coaching clients. You need to use what you learn. I listed several success quick points above and hopefully you learned something from them. But, as the U.S. Steel pencils used to say, "Knowing is not enough." You have to use this knowledge if you're going to become a career and life success. Remember, success is a journey, not a destination.

Your Career Journey
People think of life as a journey with their career just a part of it, like a hobby, little realising that your career journey is not just a part of your life, it is your life. A life shared with family and friendships, but life nonetheless.
Death and Taxes ... And Change
They say that the only things we have to do in life are to die and pay taxes. Actually, we don’t have to pay taxes if we don’t really want to. But we will have to die someday. And there’s something else that we have to do that no one puts on this list. We have to live through change. No matter what we do or don’t do – if we fully participate in a rich, fulfilling life or if we stay holed up in a room somewhere doing absolutely nothing. Change will be a constant companion, even if it’s just in the lines that time starts artfully drawing upon our faces. Helping us to navigate the waters of change in life and career is what a Professional Life Coach or Career Coach offers.
