One of the key questions that I hear today is, where are the new opportunities? With the amount of negative news it would seem like there is very little areas in the economy with needs. Ironically, there has never been more questions without answers. In the world around you, professionals and organizations are always looking for the next Ipod, Google, medical miracle or oil project. This week’s podcast is with Gad Shaanan. He is one of Canada’s most successful industrial designers. His firm just won the equivalent of an Oscar within his field – a best of 2007 I.D. award for packaging with his work on the new WD-40 can. Gad said “every single day, thousands of new products and companies are created in the world by professionals who are not waiting for permission from the market”. From reinventing what we have, to coming up with a brand new widget. The world is not a static place, which is what makes this time in our career so exciting. What are you waiting for?

This week, consider what needs “fixing” in your world who knows, the opportunity could be sitting in your garage.

Do you feel like you don’t belong in your work situation? Do you struggle with identifying your strengths? Does your job title define your? How’s that for some light questions with your Monday morning coffee? This week’s podcast is with Steve Maich and Lianne George, authors of The Ego Boom – Why the world really does revolve around you. I found their book provided interesting research and insight about why we struggle with finding the right fit in our personal and professional lives. The paradox is the world has never seemed more about us, yet many are lonely, unsatisfied, and not sure of their identity and place in this world. There are all kind companies providing products and services that are addressing the issue of identity.

(Face)book
(You)Tube
Oprah
America’s Got Talent
Starbucks
Amazon
Personal Blogs
and the newest kid on the block Twitter.

The answer lies with knowing, accepting and being true to our own identity. Not allowing a brand, company, or even job titles to define.

You.

The benefit.

Authenticity.

Take that Mastercard!

The Monday Morning Motivator

What if you wake up one morning without a job, where would you find your next role? This week’s podcast is with Michael Gill, New York Times best selling author of “How Starbucks Saved My Life”. At age 53 he was taken out for breakfast, or what he would call his Last supper, and was let go from his position. Michael’s identity and purpose came very much from his work. It gave him a place, title, income and status. As with others who are defined by what they do and are fired, there was an extreme loss of identity. He spent the next 7 years in a consulting trying to find a work role and organization, that aligned with his professional and personal identity and which rewarded him in the way that he was accustomed. Then one day while standing in line at Starbucks, he was approached by a store manager and asked if he would consider applying for a job. Shortly after he joined Starbucks, finding a place that was well suited for him and giving him a whole new start in his career and life. Michael shared “Some of the best things in life happen by accident”. Finding your new role is much more likely when you are open to circumstances, opportunity and people who can help you.
