Careers at the Crossroads - Personal Journeys Drive Organizational Achievement

For a long time careers were careers, nothing to get excited about. Everyone just did what they had to do. It was expected. For some, doing work you actually enjoyed was a bonus. For many, work was work and you made the best out of what was presented to you.

That formula for coming to terms with your career path is no longer functional. People have career paths with not one but many optional places to contribute their talent, particularly creative talent. Secondly, personal growth has become one of the most important values to employees. Your purpose in life, how it contributes, makes a difference to others through the expression of your creative gift unique to you is THE driving force behind employee engagement, behind the spirit of a business endeavor ... the energy that exudes from the company, which in turn, attracts customers and clients.

Which brings us to the crossroad.

Cellular biology explains that the limitations we hold in our subconscious belief system, drive our results 90-99% of the time. (A six segment audio interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton is posted previously). As you grow, remove your limiting notions about how the world works, you drive corporate or organizational achievement. It is as simple as that.

Would inventors have invented if they were convinced what they came up with would not work? Not so much. Companies are expressions of the talent AND the spiritual or energetic fuel that drives them. Companies who see themselves as victims of the marketplace tend to create that reality by missing all the signals. Companies who see themselves as survivors - doing what ever it takes to survive create ethical breaches left, right and center as that focus and message ripples through the communication channels. Companies who accept responsibility for who they are, what they produce, their relationship with their employees, and their relationship to the customers, community, society and the environment they function are powered by employees who have at minimum, accepted responsibility for creating the results in their life.

For people whose career is at the crossroads, this is the opportunity to ask: What gives me the most satisfaction in my work? What would i do if there were no limits? No yabbuts? To really assess the situation, head over to The Occupational Adventure and take the Career Quiz.

For the companies who pay these employees, this is the time to recognize that there is no such thing as talent management, IF management means control. This is the time to release that talent and support it in achieving more through collective endeavors. Much like a symphony where every note played creates a harmonic expression, companies who understand how to co-create with the talent and growth of their employees will create beautiful music.

The rest...well I am guessing that some of you have heard a symphony warming up? It is every instrument for themselves.
