FINDING YOUR PASSION
This is a very exciting moment for me as I present to you my first newsletter as part of my business that I am passionate about/my dream job – helping students and Moms define their career strategies.
WHAT IS YOUR PASSION?
The first topic I would like to focus on is to help you get clear on what you are passionate about so you can use this valuable information to find your dream job.
This simple exercise is to help you determine the top 5 things that you love to do. Here are some questions to help you develop that list.
When are you the most happy?
What aspects of previous jobs did you enjoy the most?
What did you always dream about doing when you were a child?
What would you do if you believed that anything is possible?
What is something that you do that you would do even without pay because you love doing it so much?
This list will be your compass that will keep you on track to finding your dream job. When you are focused on your passion – your enthusiasm and energy radiates out into the world – attracting the resources you need to lead you to your dream job.
Please share your answers with me – I’d love to read them.

Anything is Possible
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
“There is nothing with which every man is so afraid as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.” Kierkegaard (taken from Leaving Microsoft to Change the World by John Wood)
My last newsletter spoke about getting in touch with your passion and how that acts as a magnet for attracting the necessary resources to you to find your dream job and even accomplishing goals that you may have believed would have never come true in your wildest dreams.
I found the best way to believe anything is possible – is to find inspiration from people that have already achieved amazing feats by:
· believing anything is possible,
· following their passion,
· dreaming big
· and staying focused on their goals.
I wanted to share three inspirational people that have inspired me and given me the strength, hope and belief that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!! To be even more inspired, please visit their links below:
JOHN WOOD/ROOM TO READ – John and his organization are making a huge positive impact around the world by building libraries and schools around the world in conjunction with local communities. www.roomtoread.org If you want to be even more inspired, make sure you read John Wood’s book – Leaving Microsoft to Change the World - http://www.leavingmicrosoftbook.com/.
PAUL LAMB/MAN ON A MISSION CONSULTING – Paul truly believes that technology can be leveraged for the social good demonstrated by the group he founded Street Tech (www.streettech.org) and his current work with major technology companies including Cisco. http://www.squidoo.com/manonamission/
VIVIAN GLYCK/JUST LIKE MY CHILD FOUNDATION – Vivian started up a foundation to help a health clinic in Uganda that has made remarkable strides in just one year. www.justlikemychildfoundation.org
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST DREAM?
As we talked about in the last newsletter, write down your biggest dream and start thinking about how you will get there. Here are some suggestions:
Look for inspiration like I mentioned above to prove to yourself that anything is possible.
Find an inspirational mentor in the field where you want to be that has accomplished amazing things and ask them how they did what they did and ask them for their help in reaching your goals.
Develop a vision board.
CONGRATULATIONS TO GRADUATES
A big congratulations to all of you that have graduated and those who are going to graduate shortly. This is a very exciting time – please keep me posted on your news.

Terrific 22s - Finding Your Passion
Terrific 22s – Finding Your Passion
By Marcy Morrison
My friend once shared with me that she wanted to write a book called the Terrible 22s (playing off the Terrible 2s for toddlers) meaning that at that time, she was graduating from a large university that she felt didn’t provide her the necessary skills to enter the workforce, but instead she felt lost and pressured to pursue a Master’s or PhD.
When she shared with me the Terrible 22s – I thought of what my son’s nursery school’s teacher shared with me that the Terrible 2s are really the Terrific 2s, since this is a time of self-awareness and discovery for toddlers – asserting themselves and finding out who they are. So why can’t the Terrible 22s be viewed in the same way – the Terrific 22s or 20s – also a time of self discovery, awareness – a time to make your unique mark on this world.
To many, the world being their oyster is too overwhelming – they don’t know even where to begin, so as a Career Strategist, I work on having students focus on what their passion is, this narrows the vast opportunities down and makes the job search more manageable. By focusing on their passion, students also tap into their energy and enthusiasm, which works as a magnetic force attracting the resources, people, etc they need to find their dream job.
I also work with students to hone their skills for marketing/selling themselves, differentiating themselves in a competitive market, trusting/believing in themselves, and working on goal setting and organizational skills. With a clear roapmap that is in alignment with your passion changes the world being your oyster from being a convoluted mess to being an exciting journey where anything becomes possible. As Karli Bobus graduating senior from the University of California, San Diego shared: “Marcy, I could not have been more pleased with the session that I had with you last week! Your positive and energetic personality was refreshing. I immediately felt comfortable to talk to you about all job possibilities and was not afraid to talk with you openly about everything that I had considered. You were helpful in narrowing down my interests and thereby pointing me in the right direction career-wise. I have never felt so on task and confident in knowing where I want to be and what I want to do. Your personal contacts have proved valuable and our session was absolutely priceless.”
Graduation and early 20s can easily be viewed as one of the most exciting moments in your life – if you make the choice to see it that way and work with someone that can help you get focused and clear on your passion and goals.
