It is Gratitude Friday! Take a moment to feel it.

Welcome to the first episode dedicated to career coaching! Today I am sharing my very opinionated thoughts on resumes. As a professional speaker, author and coach, I receive many requests for assistance for career advice. I start with the resume because, in one conversation, I learn a lot about the individual. Their job history is much less important to me than discovering who you are and if you understand your brand. Resume writing in itself should be a self-discovery process. The words you choose, the examples you share, what you understand the purpose of a resume to be, it is all very important. 

Join me on Thursdays for Career Coach Corner where I will start rewiring your understanding of the key elements of the career development process; from job search to purpose to those significant changes in career direction, It's all here at Barbara Wichman Inspires on Apple Podcast and Podbean.

Social media is such an amazing tool. It is filled with sunshine kind of stories, laughter, and successes. And it can be filled with sadness and cruelty. Today, I ask that your mission is overwhelming the world with kindness and compassion. Not just be nice. I am asking for a full-on, an overboard mission of kindness. Listen in!

Hate is a powerful word. There are times when we are really hard on ourselves. You can be upset over a decision you regret. You can be irritated if you did something in the moment that you knew was wrong but did it anyway. You may suffer from what has happened or is happening to you in this very moment. Hate is a powerful word. Have empathy for yourself. Hold grace for your imperfect decisions. Learn from choices you have made. Never tell you, you hate yourself. Your soul will suffer greatly.

Remember to take care of you. Be grateful for all you do, all that you accomplish, all that you care for and that you have the ability to be all that you are and will become.

And you will be successful, she added. Have you looked around you lately? Bluetooth versus the rotary phone. Model T versus the GT. The Z1 versus your laptop. The pager versus your smartphone. Sure, go ahead. Do it the same way. Why try new things? Why try innovative ideas. Destroy creativity. Just do it the way it’s always been done. I have a set of floppies if you need them!
