It's Not Your Fault, But ...

 It happens all the time, sometimes in minutes, more often gradually. That's a negative career event which isn't your fault. For example, the boss gets fired, shade is thrown on the whole group and eventually you're forced out. The law firm you lateraled to goes out of business. Your sector is among those targeted by AI.

In tarot-readings you keep repeating that it's not your fault. And, based on my knowledge of business, you are probably right. But, fixating on where to assign blame for career setbacks or even implosions will delay turning it around. Or it could even mean you'll never work again.


That is similar to the myth of fair. Expecting a level playing field not only will fill you with resentment. But the disappointment about others having advantages you don't can deter you from investing yourself fully and creatively in how you earn a good living.

Worse, the festering outrage can land you in prison, as happened with late mayor of Providence, Rhode Island Buddy Cianci. Over and over again he lamented he wasn't a member of the "Lucky Sperm Club." That was even though his background was middle-class, not poverty. He wound up crossing a line.

The solution to the quirks in a career - and in life? It's this fundamental: It's not what happens to you. It's how you handle it. And it's up to you to do just that, handle it.

The extreme management device is the lawsuit. Since litigation is so unpredictable I often don't recommend that. 

More predictable about being effective is to lay low, figure out the next and don't let that phase of a professional life become embedded in your or anyone else's memory bank. 

Organizational guru Jeffrey Sonnenfeld put together an amazing fresh start at Yale Management School after a high-profile dust-up at a previous academic institution. The way I sized that up, it wasn't his fault. Sonnenfeld has come back an even more influential thought leader. Incidentally, essentially thos in the the business world don't remember that dark part of Sonnenfeld's legacy. Or don't care. 

The trick to a comeback, especially after a bout of unemployment or underemployment, is to let go of the ideal of righting wrongs. That will come across in the vibes you give off. Potential employers and customers/clients for your new enterprise will run in the other direction.

Finding your way in confusing times starts from the inside.

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

Aging - Holding On To Sense Of A Self

Image
  The Wall Street Journal fingers retirement for the epidemic of a loss of self among the aging.  However, the process can kick in as soon as anyone senses they are no longer young. Gone is their youthful self. Denying aging, they don't invest in creating a new self - and continually bringing up to date that identity. By time there is a shift from a demanding career to part-time, freelance, entrepreneurial or no work there is no emotional, physical and spiritual platform to keep building on. In the Tarot there are myriad cards which salute moving on and breaking free from the past, even though there is so much uncertainty about the present and the future.  My favorite card for that is the Eight of Cups. It is commonly called The Walking Away card. I prefer to refer to it as The Walking Toward card.  Cups symbolize emotion. There is certainly lots of that in leaving the past behind. The mountains stand for the unknowns. The sitting position recommends not rushing the...

We Are All Paul Weiss - And Now We Are Different

Image
 Paul Weiss has been the tipping point.  The Executive Order by the current administration - the third issued - got to us. How vulnerable we all are to power. Forget the grade school lessons about what America is about. Forget how university deans caved during our counterculture protests.  Yes, and forget "rights"  as being sacred. Here's what we now know. The key driven in that EO was that a lawyer who had been a partner at Paul Weiss years ago - Mark Pomerantz - had landed on the US President's enemies list. Of course there were other things about Paul Weiss, such as its mission for diversity, which didn't sit well with MAGA ideology. But that stuff probably was small potatoes. Pomerantz was the trouble spot. How obvious it became: We are all Paul Weiss.  Conversations I have with tarot-card clients, what I read in the media and what's turning up on professional anonymous networks Reddit and Fishbowl scream one message: Everyone can be a target for politica...
