I took a little time off for the holidays, but I’m back online and wishing all of you a happy and prosperous 2013. I’ve decided to make a bit of a change in my newsletter. In addition to writing about career development issues, from time to time I’m going to share stories about inspiring people who have found their career sweet spot. Although each story is different, you’ll find there’s a common theme. The people who have really found their niche have been able to weather that period of “not knowing” … Read more »
Play to Your Strengths? Maybe Not

An old client was in my building, and he popped in to say hello. I had served him as both a coach, helping him plan and build his business, and as a finance guy, negotiating with banks on his behalf and working out some troubled loans. I told him about what I was doing now, and he asked me why I wasn’t doing the finance work anymore. When I explained that I loved career coaching more than anything else, he said, “But you're really good doing workouts.” Unfortunately, he was right. At 22, the performance … Read more »

Then I was interrupted by my 9 year old daughter Devon, who wanted to talk about a … Read more »

September 13, 2012 by Jeff Fischer 0 Comments
Often we know something isn't quite right, but how can we really tell if it is the right time for a change? Sometimes we get lucky - last week, a friend called to tell me that he lost his job. I congratulated him! He laughed and then thanked me because we both knew there was more out there for him and, like it or not, it was the right time. But what happens when the pay is good, the economy is tough, and you're tolerating it even though you don’t like it? Believe me, I’ve been there and I know the … Read more »
