Excited!


I'm excited about the Life-Balance & Energy-Management workshop.
I probably have to realize that I'm really attracted to this topic and I do tend to speak about it all the time anyway. Perhaps I should do more workshops and seminars in this area (and parenting, which I also enjoy really much and I have a seminar that I do present regularly, mostly to teachers. It helps educators and/or parents better understand the personality of their children and learn to more effectively communicate, motivate, etc each child based on their personality style)
I just had a conversation with one of with one of my coaching/mentoring clients who asked me "Don't you ever get bored on presenting the same seminars over and over again? Don't you get tired of it after a while?" And my answer was rather simple: "I'm passionate about what I talk on" (recognizing different behavioral/personality styles - their motivators, fears, needs, communication style, and other behavioral tendencies - and learning how to communicate most effectively with each style and avoid/defuse conflict with each).
I speak about this topic day after day and I never get tired of it. Well..., I also have to admit it that I've been reading psyhcology books and effective communication related books ever since I was around 9-years-old.
I think it is really important to find a topic that one feels passionate about and go for it! I mean REALLY GO FOR IT!!!
Statistics say that around 80% of Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs. What can I say? We all do jobs that we don't like, for a while, because we need to survive. The key word should be here "for a while" and then move up, and move on, to the job that we feel passionate about.
Yes, I absolutely love talking on behavioral styles; but I also love to talk on life-balance (and let's face it, I can link the two in a way that they are interrelated - and they really are, right?)
Ok... I just wanted to say that I'm excited!!! (and that you should choose something that you can get excited about )
