Career Inspiration: Video week

By Sab

Hi there,

Hope you had a good Bank Holiday weekend and are looking forward to the rest of June - summer is on its way! This week I have five different videos for you to get you through the week. Enjoy.

If you haven’t checked out TED talks, you really should! Great thought leaders across all sorts of fields give 20 minute talks that inspire. I picked Viktor Frankl (I love him, he has such faith in the human spirit), it’s an old video but its main point is timeless: aim high to become all you can be

Anyone watch Frasier? The actor John Mahoney, who plays Frasier’s dad, started acting at 37 after a career as a medical journal editor and teacher. His biog is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mahoney

A great big article about reinvention and creating the work style you want

A couple of videos to make you smile:

If you‘re feeling unmotivated, jump up on your sink and start yelling “I can do anything good, better than anyone”

Do you try and do everything? Are you a slave to high aspirations that leave you exhausted? Leave it to Will Smith

Til next time,

Sab
