Where Your Mind Goes, Your Career Follows

My training in psychology has taught me that the mind is an extremely powerful thing. This conclusion can be drawn from the enormous body of psychological and neuropsychological research that has examined the human mind and its potential. To the scientist in me, this is powerful evidence. Even more powerful than this is my experience of numerous others (including colleagues, clients and friends) who have placed an amazing amount of concentration and focus on how they want their lives to be and achieve unbelievable feats. I am truly blessed to be surrounded by all that inspiration. It is food for my soul.

Of course, the only experience that I can speak about with any authority is my own. In my fourth year of graduate school, I began working with clients with substance abuse problems and found it incredibly satisfying and rewarding. In every other clinical training experience after that, I looked for opportunities to work with individuals who had substance abuse problems and grew to love this work more and more. As I planned my future career, I stayed focused on my strong desire to work in this clinical area. Once I did this, it seemed as if what I wanted in my career presented itself to me at the exact right time. I was accepted to a prestigious post-doctoral fellowship program in substance abuse treatment that I never in a million years thought I would be offered. Then I was offered “the perfect job” developing and managing an outpatient addiction treatment clinic. Honestly, the process of getting to where I am in my career seemed effortless at times. Not to say there were not tremendous growing pains that made me a stronger and better person and professional, but I believe my focus got me where I needed to be to help me create my Career Passionz. 

One way to manifest your Career Passionz is to use visualization to focus your mind on the outcomes you want. Our next blog issue will be a visualization that you can use to help you focus your mind on your Career Passionz. See you then.

Introducing our Fearless Leader

Dear Career Passionz Community,

One of my core beliefs, formed when I was very young, was:

An individual can accomplish ANYTHING (s)he wants in life. The only question was when?

Your life may deviate, through twists and turns, but you will hit your milestones until you have reached your goal. This central tenet has been my guide, and although my resume looks like a mashup, it really illustrates the openness and determination with which I have searched for my true calling. Today, the sum of my experiences has led me to a road called Career Passionz. My career wanderlust has come full circle and I found that my career correlates to my personality. This is where we can help you. Career Passionz was created to help people find their ultimate career, the set of jobs where they are a high-performer and overachiever.

So, please take our Career Passionz personality test, and see where your career match-up might lead you. We serve as a guide, and hopefully we won’t get you lost. Who knows? Maybe there’s a person who is a perfect fit for an Underwater Basketweaver career! Always strive for you next goal, and never ever quit.

Remember to dream big because the sky is the limit.

Adventurer and ESTJ,
