Great teleclass.  Dan provided some great insights in a clear and easy to understand way. name optional:  Lou Ballester

 

Excellent!  

 

Very interesting, organized and thought provoking. thank you, Constance Stevens

 

Daniel was very forthcoming and a wonderful guest. Sally, you've picked some great guests to interview. I've enjoyed them all. Daniel spun multiple theories together very well - Bolles, Krumboltz, Seligman, etc. - and simply, creatively, organizes the usefulness of each part of the 3-legged stool in the career process. I'm sure the success of the manga format will be quickly realized. I plan to buy it and pass it around to family members and clients.

Thank you for a great hour! Very enjoyable. Mary Lynne 

 

I enjoyed hearing quite a different perspective on career development topics with regard to the six lessons.  Some of which I heard ring true and others that provided me with a dimensional intent that inspires me to think out of the box.  The experience was well worth my time and very convenient.  Thank you. Bernadette Amato 

 

 

An excellent and insightful presentation by one of my favorite authors. Mr. Pink's conversation with us was engaging, energetic, refreshingly counterintuitive. To my way of thinking, that means it was right on! Thank you for providing this opportunity.  Barry Davs

 

I was quite excited to hear directly from Daniel Pink. I read "A Whole New Mind" last year and have always felt that creativity and looking at a problem from multiple viewpoints is generally more productive than  linear model. Still, I do think his ideas seem to be too simplistic and perhaps more media driven than content driven. I am intrigued by Pink's upcoming manga publication, "The Adventures of Johnny Bunco..." and hope that it has something solid to offer the younger generation with regard to career management.  I have a son almost 21 and two nephews in their 20's on whom I will "field test" the graphic novel. I do wish Dan had answered the second part of my question about "A Whole New Mind"--that is, if he re-wrote it in a R-brain manner, wouldn't it have more images and perhaps mind-mapping graphics rather than so much text?  I had other questions to ask about that book, but I'm glad Sally kept us focused on the building a business theme rather than going! off on another direction (which my questions would have done). This was WELL worth the time and effort, and I look forward to participating in other teleinterviews! Damona Sain

 

Helpful and thought provoking.

 

I found his discussion about "monga" /comic books in Japan, very interesting as was his"Six Key things or ideas" needed for a successful career." He's a good  speaker and his "personalization" made his discussion even more interesting and informative. I had heard him speak once before and had previously read one of his earlier books.You made a good choice!! Gil  Benjamin,MCC,NCCC

    ]]>         <![CDATA[Introduction to Ed]]> http://lifeworkps.com/sallyg/weblog/3267.html http://lifeworkps.com/sallyg/weblog/3267.html Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:13:06 GMT


    I met Ed several years ago at National Career Development Association annual conferences. Both Ed and I have been very active in that association. Perhaps later Ed, you might want to talk about the value of being active in a professional association to help grow your private practice.



    We had an instant rapport. We are both academics (like most NCDA members), who have taught at universities and earned doctorates in education. In addition, we are both innovative and entrepreneurial. As Membership Chair of NCDA, Ed introduced outstanding practices, such as giving graduate students and first year counselors a discount so they could afford to join the organization. He also recognized members who recruit new members in his "Each One, Reach One" campaign.



    Ed, listeners would like to hear from you about starting and growing your private practice. In past tele-interviews, participants have expressed curiosity about very practical steps in become a successful private practitioner. They would like to know how to overcome challenges and generate sufficient income, which you addressed very clearly in your contribution to the NCDA Monograph, Starting and Growing a Business in the New Economy. Counselors can apply the exercise that Ed designed for the NCDA monograph to their own business. View his exercise on the CCA Tele-Interview website, which is also posted on the CCA website.

    CCA website.



    Could you tell us a little about your business, how you got it off the ground and how you grew it? I would encourage listeners to ask Ed questions throughout his interview.



    Other questions (as time allows):

  • What value has writing books brought to your business? Do you earn income from your books? If so, what marketing strategies have you found to be effective in generating income?

  • What are your external sources of support? (both people and things)?

  • Do you have a board of advisors, either formally or informally?

  • What were and are now your internal sources of support?

    Overview and Rationale.
    Making a transition can be difficult, whether its planned or unexpected, happy or sad (i.e., marriage or divorce, move, birth, death, award, layoff, graduation). The transition process can be managed most effectively if applied in the context of one's own life.

    Icebreaker Exercise.
    Share, with a parter or with your career advisor, some of your favorite childhood memories up to the age of ten. Include places, actions, people, visual memories, sounds, scents, and physical activities. If you are working with a partner, each person in pair has 4 minutes to share his or her memories. Later in this lesson, you will have an opportunity to write a poem that will include your early memories. You may be able to find sources of support to manage a current or future transition from these early memories.

    Expected Participant Outcomes.

    *to identify internal sources of support to help manage a career transition;
    *to identify external sources of support to help manage a career transition.

    Audience. This is an activity for career practitioners to use with clients from 16 years old on up.

    Lecturette

    Definition of Tranistion
    A transition is an event or non-event that results in change. A transition is characterized by a change in roles, relationships and/or routines. An event is something that happens, such as getting married, having a child, getting a job. A non-event is something that you expected and wanted to happen, but it did not like not getting a promotion. an event or nonevent that results in change. (CDF Student Manual, Unit, pp. 20-22).

    Severity of Transition
    Four things determine the severity of a transition (Schlossberg, 1989): (a) situation, (b) self, (c) supports, and (d) strategies. By asking client questions about each thing separately, you and your client can understand more about the transition.

    Sources of Support
    Define external and internal sources of support. Draw chart. One column is Internal Sources of Support. Other column is External Sources of Support. Give examples based on Parisima Poem below (for poet of Parisima, internal source of support are the multi-senses; external sources of support are family, cultural traditions and social gatherings).

    Activity
    Write an "I Am From Poem" to discover what supports you have to make career and personal transitions. Include favorable memories from childhood. If you have time, include some current positive images in your life. You will not be required to share your poem with others, if you don't want to. Here is an example:

    Parisima - A Holiday
    by Carmen (a woman of Nicaraguan heritage whom I met on a plane ride on the way home from a conference).

    To celebrate
    The Immaculate conception
    Patron of Nicaragua
    Father had a beautiful alter.
    Flowers smelled like heaven.
    All the neighbors visited my house.
    They brought apples from Costa Rica,
    Chicha - a corn drink - pink, a little sour.
    Mixed with sugarcane.
    Vacatamales - like a tamale.
    That was the best part of my life
    When I was little.
    It makes me feel that
    I can be a child again.

    Your "I Am From Poem"
    On a piece of 8 ½ x 11 paper, write your own "I Am From" poem. fter participants have written poems (about 5 minutes), ask for volunteers to read their poems. Relate external and internal supports to poem.

    Schlossberg's Transition Theory and its implications.
    Use example from participants' poems or poem above. For example, in the poem above, Carmen likes her current job, but wants to change after the holidays. She wraps gifts in the gift-wrapping department of department store. She would like to go into sales. After looking at the poem that she composed, she said that she is artistic and likes designs and colors (internal resource). Referring to the festive holiday from her childhood, she said that she is social, likes to meet people and talk to people (external). Reflecting upon the poem reaffirmed her decision to discuss with her supervisor her desire to go into sales.

    Assessment
    On a blank sheet of paper, draw a chart, listing the external and internal sources of support found in your own poem. Some of these sources of support may be from your youth. Add other sources of support that you have developed over the years.

    Summary
    We used the poem to help chart internal and external supports. The next steps in Schlossberg's Transitions Theory would be to determine how to implement the transition goal, how to make maximum use of external and internal supports, and how to develop skills to overcome barriers.
