Why Try Career Passionz?
Posted by careerpassionz on July 18, 2008
One of the reasons to give Career Passionz a try is our unique approach to helping you discover what brings meaning to your life. We are by no means “experts,” but we each have a unique story about the way we discovered our own “Passionz.” It is our hope that sharing our journeys will help jump-start yours. It is our sincere belief that within each and everyone of us are the answers to what will make us happy and content. The Career Passionz approach is to help you get to know yourself better to find the answers that may, at this time, be obscured by fear, frustration or lack of awareness.
In my own journey of self-discovery, the most critical element was the individuals I encountered who were able to act as a mirror that forced me to stop and take a look at my character strengths and limitations. When I saw things in the mirror that made me proud or excited, I knew I needed to keep moving in that direction. When what I saw in that mirror was painful or ugly, I knew I needed to take a step back and re-evaluate the path I was headed down. As I struggled with finding work that was meaningful to me, these folks offered a tremendous amount of support. They not only offered me increased self-awareness, they also showed me through example how to accept and be comfortable with myself, which opened a number of doors toward opportunities I could never have imagined previously. I am sure I could not have achieved what I have without them being present at just the time I needed them to be in my life, and I have an tremendous amount of gratitude for this.
So that is the Career Passionz Approach. Through connecting with others who are searching and have found their Passions, you will have the chance to reflect on your values and get support to move in the direction you want to go. Through sharing your own journey of self-discovery with others, we can create a community to allow all a place to go to get support and gain courage to go after their dreams. Everyone who joins us is an “expert,” and together our “expertise” can help each other reach our goals.
We here at Career Passionz sincerely hope you’ll join us.
