Jump On the Passion Wagon

Join in!

Okay, before your imagination gets too carried away, let me admit that a more accurate title might have been ‘jump on the passion bandwagon’.

To ‘jump on the bandwagon’ means to join in doing, or supporting something fashionable, or likely to be successful.

Passion, though often associated with romantic love, simply means a strong enthusiasm or desire for something. In this blog the focus is on career, vocation or life pursuit.

So, my invitation to ‘jump on the passion wagon’ is aimed at those of you who want to build a great career by exploiting your passion for working with and helping other people.

 

My story

I spent 27 years in corporate employment in diverse jobs ranging from construction engineering to IT project management to internal communications.

In my drive to climb the corporate ladder, I willingly agreed to become a corporate jack of all trades … and master of none!

That was until my company changed the unwritten rules for promotion and declared that deep functional expertise would henceforth be preferred to broader exposure to a wide range of disciplines.

 

Serious introspection

That out-of-the-blue decree from the higher echelons of my multinational employer hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks. I was forced into some serious introspection.

What was it that I was really good at? What could I claim as my central form of expertise? What, if anything, did I truly love about my work?

As I reflected back on the many years of employment it dawned on me that the one part of every job I’d held that authentically stirred my passion, was working with people – particularly leading and motivating people whenever I had had the privilege to do so.

 

Passion identified at last!

This rational, engineering trained, formerly head-driven man had finally identified his vocational passion – inspiring others!

I’ve been self employed now for many years, following my passion through the vehicle of New Insights. My company trains people who share my passion – for working with and helping others – to become professional life coaches.

There are things I miss about corporate life … but not that many. Within myself I’ve never been happier.

 

Wonderful stories

Each day brings wonderful stories of people whose lives have changed for the better as a result of our training programme. And then there are many others whose lives have been transformed through the efforts of those who we trained to be life coaches.

Over the years of my association with New Insights I have built a deep understanding and appreciation for life coaching.

 

The power to liberate

I have seen the amazing power it has to help liberate people from the confusion, frustration, lack of self esteem and lack of direction that saps their inner power.

By the way, that is an increasingly common affliction in our troubled world!

Perhaps you are a certified life coach already – or well on your way to becoming one – in which case I’d invite your comments on this post below?
