Saturday 26 March 2011: Careers

I learned a great deal from my mentors in and outside of the academic environment as well as finding my path and discovering the world on my own.

Twenty two years ago I was faced with a situation I had no training nor experience with. There was no time to go back to school and learn. I had to keep up or fail in my unexpected responsibility. I sought advise and was told to take up personality and career development workshops and seminars since it was better to discover for myself what it would take to succeed.

After eleven years of experimenting practical applications of theoretical learnings, I ventured to sharing my discoveries and helped people find their way.

Every now and then I go back to my reference books and refresh what I learned along the way as I taught my students and clients.

I subscribe to Napoleon Hill's advise "to get better at something > teach it". I suppose he meant that by teaching, one would be compelled to make sure everything was in order before sharing the knowledge.

As I taught others, I became better myself.

I stopped teaching/coaching five years ago. The world has changed so much since then. There is more to learn and I am finding myself faced with a new world that changes its color faster than I can keep up with it. Time to learn new tricks to cope with future shock.
