Happy New Year …the Tiger of 2010!

Angela Spaxman — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 22:48:50 +0000

Kung hei fat choy!

The tiger represents courage, power and passion. Which of those will drive your life this year?

I took a break from writing this blog over the last few months, mainly because I’ve been focused on a bigger project related to coaching and its value to the world. You may guess (correctly) that this has something to do with the International Association of Coaching where I was the President for the last two years. I’ll be writing more about this in the coming few months.

I’ve been interacting instead through my Facebook Fan page. I really love that format …Every day I am learning something related to career fulfillment, success and leadership, and sharing it with hundreds of friends. It’s so easy to learn and interact regularly, efficiently and impactfully. At least I think so! Have you visited yet?

Back to the tiger, I wholeheartedly wish that you and I will know our passions with empowering clarity such that we have the courage to follow-through with gusto in 2010.

Update for Sept 09

Another month has flown by. Much to my surprise, I wrote something about women …I've never thought of myself as a feminist, but many of my clients are working on changing paradigms about male and female roles. Our generation is being stretched to invent new ways of working and relating, as men and women, so I think we're just getting started in thinking about this.

I'm letting the words flow more freely than usual this month and I've included a bit a creative writing with my personal vision. I would be thrilled to know if you find this inspiring.

I've been posting regularly on the Loving Your Work Facebook Page which is now entertaining more than 150 fans with tips, quotes, links, articles and sharing about all aspects of loving what you do. If you'd like to join this growing community, please drop by or become a fan.

My friend Cecilia Yeung is putting together a fantastic event for anyone keen to advance in their career through marketing, branding and positioning. This is a real deal, so if you've an interest in this area, don't miss it.

Cheers,
Angela

New Projects, August 2009

Angela Spaxman — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 01:24:26 +0000

I've unleashed some
projects that I've been anticipating for ages. Some of the results are now here:
an unprecedented stream of short articles, and a commitment for more! I hope you enjoy and benefit from my increased communications.

Loving Your Work is
on Facebook!

I've made a commitment (to
myself) to write and share more regularly with those interested in loving their
work. I really want to spread the messages more widely that:

1) you CAN love your work
and

2) when you love what you
do, you contribute the best of yourself and thereby make the world a better
place. In other words, there is meaning and significance in all work, especially
when it is an expression of your best self.

Facebook has emerged as the
venue for this work and I'm gradually collecting a Fan
Club there. I like the playfulness and convenience of Facebook and I find it
really exciting to connect and build a common conversation with lovers of work
worldwide! If you're on Facebook already, please
drop by and if you like the conversation, become a fan. I'm posting tips, questions and reminders that are always
positive and relevant to you loving your work more.

Loving Your Work :: career fulfillment and success on Facebook

If you don't do Facebook,
you might want to subscribe
to the feed at my blog since I plan to post much more frequently there as
well.(See “Syndicate”, or “Receive Blog Updates” in the lefthand column near the top.)

Another project is coming
to fruition regarding the future of the coaching industry.
So if coaching is important to you, as it is to me, you might be
interested to take part in a series of conversations with the aim to
envision the future of coaching, sponsored by the International
Association of Coaching (where I am currently the President). Check this link for more info on these webinars runnng from August to October 2009.

I'm very excited about my
commitment to connect with you more frequently and to create together more
meaningful results: for you, your career, for enlightened leadership and if you
are a coach, for our industry.

Cheers,

Angela

Update for July 2009

Have you noticed how much activity there is
nowadays towards making the world a better place? (or is it just me?!)

I'm amazed and very hopeful about all the efforts I am seeing towards
increasing humankind's understanding and compassion towards each other and the
environment.

I expect you are involved too, in one way or another, in
improving your life and the lives of others, right? It's fantastic, isn't it?

Today I'm sharing with you a few gems I have handy. And I'm also working
on more writing that I hope will help even more in the next few weeks.
