I had the pleasure of hearing you speak at Emporia State Hayes Lecture as a Blue Key Member and just finished my MA from ESU. This past month I was job seeking to advance my career and was torn between my current job as a Domestic Violence Advocate and lower salary working at a nonprofit and doing something I knew was making a difference. After several interviews a door opened I didn’t expect to open, I am starting a new career as a parole officer and am excited to bring my knowledge of domestic violence to help those who may have been overlooked and put into the criminal justice system. Thank you for sharing -Cherie Crisp
Cherie...THANKS for this note, sorry it took me a while to hit reply. I treasure the time I got to return to ESU for that talk. So glad you were there. And...what an important new field you are beginning. What a great example of a "right door" jds
100% JD. The right doors do open easily. Life is easy. We make it hard either through not knowing how to do it easy (ignorance) or blocking our RAS from being aware of a simple path. And sometimes we have incorrect expectations (optimism bias) thinking we can through something out there and people will come running to us because we've solved all their needs.
If doors are not opening it's a good time to take stock, rather than bludging forward. Work smarter, not harder. We've all heard it. How often do we do it? :)
PS - Heading to NY in July and looking forward to catching up with people States side where possible.
