Citi May Be Giving Us Coaches a Bad Rap

"The bank [CIti}, which has given employees more latitude to work from home than competitors like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, is calling employees back in for 'the coaching they need' if their productivity slips," - Linkedin News, January 18, 2023 

Yeah, bring on the coaches. And embedded forever in the collective ethos of that organization could be to steer clear of anything called "coaching." We whose mission is to help professionals learn to help themselves in their careers could be branded as The Enemy.

So, it should be no surprise that more professionals come to me for a Tarot reading than for the coaching part of my practice. They want insight not "oughts." Many have been what they perceive as "victims" of coaches. Just as in some forms of psychotherapy there was the posturing of the coach as all-knowing and the coachee as needing much improvement.

Organizations need to create a new lexicon for guidance. Why not try out a fun concept such as The Posse Is Here. When I transitioning from full-time corporate to consulting myriad creatures joined together and arrived in my life to reset most of me for that new career path. Within seven months I was earning 39% more than I had as a corporate employee.

More recently as technology started eating my lunch, dinner, and breakfasat in content-creation, I shifted to the coaching/tarot-reading for 90% of my work. There they were in that beast of a transition -different kinds of creatures to rescue me from self-doubt, the imposter sydrome, and more.  

Smart intuitive career and communications coaching, including using the tarot. Try it, with a five-minute complimentary session. Totally confidential. Then fees customized for your unique budget.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
