Career Choreography

Implicit in practicing the art of Career Choreography™, is that you want to ASPIRE HIGHER. That is, you don’t want to settle for being in a non-fulfilling, non-challenging, inappropriate job, position, or profession. Instead, you want more! You want to thrive in a job that you love, that makes you feel good about and proud of what you do each day, and that takes great, strategic advantage of your skill sets along with your work, educational, and life experiences. Your preeminent goal as a career choreographer is to professionally self-actualize—- that is, to reach and enjoy your fullest potentials while finding great satisfaction and hopefully joy in what you do. You spend so much of your life working, aspiring [...]

Recently, I was speaking with a longtime, very close friend of mine, Don Browne. Don was the Executive Vice President of NBC News, the President of Telemundo, and he was inducted into the Broadcasting Hall of Fame. He is one of the very wisest and most insightful individuals whom I have the honor to know. During our conversation, he shared his three criteria for an individual to choose the right job or position: 1. Do what you believe in; 2. do what you love; and, 3. do what gives you something to look forward to. Most of us know the axiom, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life!” No question, Don has identified [...]

Over the past 35 years of choreographing the careers of individuals in a myriad of professional fields, one Career Choreography principle that has consistently led to the huge success, fulfillment, and happiness of my clients is: You want to be in a job, position, or profession that takes full advantage of and effectively showcases your skill-sets, talents, and gifts, along with your professional passions, education, and work experiences. You, too, want to be in a job, position, or profession that is the very right fit for you, your talents, and your aspirations. And, if you’re in a job or position that also “makes your heart sing,” because it is your calling, all the better! Great coaches in any sport know [...]

During the pandemic and post-pandemic periods, all sorts of new and modified business models are being created and implemented. With all of this significant change, new needs, voids, and niches will present themselves or can and will be created. So, if you are going to evolve with the times and remain relevant, it’s essential for you to be an intuitive, astute, and an anticipatory new need, void, and niche Identifier and filler. For example, with people not wanting to shop or eat out, as they don’t want to expose themselves to groups of people who might have Covid, companies such as Instacart, Amazon, DoorDash, Postmates, UberEats, and smaller local delivery services have thrived because of the increased demand for delivery [...]

Due to COVID-19, millions and millions of people have lost their jobs. They are panicked about how they and their families will survive; how they will put food on their tables; how they will pay their rents and mortgages, and the like. Additionally, there are millions of individuals who want to enter the workforce for the first time or re-enter it. People around the world who need jobs are understandably lost, scared, and depressed.

The key for you, is to be a supremely talented and astute [...]

Due to the pandemic, so many people have been laid-off, terminated, or let-go, and they are now at a loss as to how they will find their next job or position in an extremely challenging job market. And if you are 50 years old or over, you wonder who will invest in someone who is more “mature”? In Chapter 8 of “Career Choreography™:  Your Step-by-Step Guide to Finding the Right Job and Achieving Huge Success and Happiness,” I discuss how my dad, was “retired” by the Mays Department Store chain at age 66, and thereafter wound up being hired at age 69, for what turned out to be a legendary 30 more years with the TJ Maxx Company. As [...]

Due to the pandemic, millions-upon-millions of individuals in our country have lost their jobs, and they are justifiably panicked, because they don’t know how they will feed themselves or their families, or pay their rent or mortgage. Additionally, there are so many young people who are perplexed as to how they will get their first job in a nearly non-existent job market, and an untold number of unhappy individuals feeling stuck and mired in their current unsatisfying and unfulfilling job, position, or profession. Other than ridding ourselves of Covid, getting people into the workforce and in positions in which they will financially and spiritually thrive, is our country’s and the world’s next biggest challenge.
