Life does go on. And the life that goes on must be lived until it is ripped from you or you surrender it, the life ahead has as many mysteries and miracles as the life behind. There will be opportunities for laughing and loving and new success and deep fulfillment. The fact that this is hard to believe while your heart hurts and your eyes are blinded by the tears of despair doesn’t change the fact.. It is truly possible that the best is yet to come. – Michael Josephson

· Quote or Words of Wisdom, WOW – “You’ll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.” ―John C. Maxwell
· Topic – The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Stephen Covey – applying it to your job campaign.
· Habit #1: Be Proactive®. Achieve extraordinary results by consistently executing their R & I (resourcefulness and initiative) to break through barriers. My notes: Accountability. You are in charge of how you react to situations and how you will respond. Get over it (job loss)!!! It’s time to move ahead. Take control. Pay attention to your Circle of Influence. Only worry about the things that you can actually control. The Circle of Concern are things that you can’t control. Look internally – what is within your control.
· Habit #2: Begin With the End in Mind®. Develop an outcome-oriented mindset in every activity they engage in—projects, meetings, presentations, contributions, etc. My notes: It’s your vision. Focus ahead, not behind. Stop looking in your rear view mirror. Use imagination and passion to see where you want to go. Visualize it and then do it! Set goals and make them happen. What do you want to be and do?? Remember – you’re response-able.
· Habit #3: Put First Things First®. Eliminate energy and time-wasting tendencies by focusing and executing on the team’s wildly important goals with a weekly planning cadence. My notes: Prioritize the things that you need to go for your job campaign. Don’t allow other stuff to get in the way. Say no when necessary. This is life management. It’s a combination of habits 1 and 2. See attachment.
· Habit #4: Think Win-Win®. Lead teams that are motivated to perform superbly through a shared expectation and accountability process. My notes: Cooperation not competition, mutual benefit, plenty for everyone, Networking!!
· Habit #5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood®. Create an atmosphere of helpful give-and-take by taking the time to fully understand issues, and give candid and accurate feedback. My notes: Communication skills, Listen intently, don’t be thinking about what you want to say. Focus on others and hear what they say. Reiterate and confirm. Or ask to elaborate, or how does it make them feel?
· Habit #6: Synergize®. Demonstrate innovative problem-solving skills by seeking out differences and new and better alternatives. My notes: Teamwork, Be creative, inquisitive, think outside the box, solutions, options, brainstorming, value differences
· Habit #7: Sharpen the Saw®. Tap into the highest and best contribution of everyone on a team by unlocking the total strength, passion, capability, and spirit of each individual. My notes: Daily Renewal, Rejuvenation, Wellness, Lifelong learning, continuous improvement. Help others get what they want, work on expanding your skills/knowledge, professional growth.

Quote or Words of Wisdom, WOW –
Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth. Mike Tyson
12.
Topic – Your Re-Employment Plan,
Do you need to revise your plan?
13. How much time do you spend evaluating your plan/objectives each week?
14. How’s your plan working on a scale of 1 to 10? Need to evaluate often and make adjustments.
15. If not working, change it. Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and over again and thinking you’ll get different results
16. You’re gonna need a bigger boat. Bigger Ideas & Big Plans!
17. What are the basic needs to land a job: good targeted resume, research, networking, upgrading skills, hot job leads that are targeted to your passion, your target list of companies, timing (be first), likeable & convincing at interview, close the deal
18. KISS – Keep it simple. Don’t get too fancy. Stick with the fundamentals, practice, maintain confidence in your plan.
19. Be careful not to overthink. Don’t avoid taking action. Don’t always be planning. – this is Analysis Paralysis
20. Where is your plan breaking down? What is preventing you from achieving your goal? Identify the weak links in your plan. Amend your plan.
21. Look internally – what is within your control? Focus your efforts on things that you can do something about – Stephen Covey’s principles (Circle of Concern & Circle of Influence), link: https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits.html
22. Remember, you need a good game plan, execution for 60 minutes or 40 hours per week (job search is a full time job!), timing, confidence, and have fun
23. Tweak your plan, use your plan, work it, repeat, evaluate
24. Give it your all, enjoy the journey, and do things that will enable you to get to your destination
Have a great week!
