What the world needs is people who have come alive

By Selina Barker on 13 November 2009 at 10:04 in Careershifters Blog

"Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive
And then go and do that.
Because what the world needs
Is people who have come alive."

Still Shifting

By M on 25 September 2009 at 12:48 in ShiftLogs

It has been an embarrassingly long time since I’ve written in this log. No real excuses; I’m not sure that I can even use the standard “but I’ve been so busy” excuse since I can’t quite work out if a lot, or barely anything, has happened in the past year.

I did get offered a job, and am now a (sometimes) proud civil servant. This is definitely not what I had intended when I started this long journey towards a more fulfilling day job – but it is definitely a step in the right direction. More

How one of our workshop participants made the move to her dream job

By Richard on 19 May 2008 at 12:28 in Careershifters Blog

It's always fantastic to hear when we've helped out in someone's career change, so it was particularly great to get an email from Nikki Welham this week.

Nikki took the time to tell us how the Careershifters site and then one of our workshops gave her the inspiration, confidence and momentum to leave her stuffy office jobs and follow her dream career of becoming a teacher.

"...My friend sent me a link to the Careershifters website as she knew I wasn’t very happy in my job. As I began reading other people’s stories about changing careers and the advice about how to go about it, I started to get a bit excited - maybe changing jobs wasn’t that impossible. My friend and I decided to go along to one of the workshops to find out more. It was easy to get to and would be a nice evening out, if nothing more. I can safely say now, that those two hours on a Tuesday evening in mid-June last year were the start of what has been the most amazing year for me..."

Curious to know what happened for Nikki after the workshop? Read her full story, here.
