Career Zingers #15: New Eyes

February 13, 2018 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

I Eye

New Eyes (David Zinger, 2018)

“The journey of discovery begins not with new vistas but with having new eyes with which to behold them.”  ~ Proust

Are you able to refresh the I behind your eyes? Many of us are myopic in looking for something new in our careers when the newness may be to look at our career, our self, and our world with new eyes. You can have laser surgery to correct your vision but without a vision of what you are looking for you may fail to see what is right in front of you. I invite you to give your eyes a rest by closing them for 60 seconds after you read this post.When you open your eyes, strive to look at your world in a new way then extend this fresh eyed approach to how your career is unfolding.

Career Zingers #14: Precious Work

February 9, 2018 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Do you experience the preciousness of your work?

Abu Dhabi Louvre Art (David Zinger, 2017)

Precious defined: ˈpreSHəs – of great value; not to be wasted or treated carelessly.

Imagine today at work is your first day at work. Imagine today at work is your last day at work.

Each of us, regardless of how long we work, will have a first day and a last day. If you knew it was your first day or last day at work what might you do to make it more precious or memorable? Realize you don’t have to imagine today as either your first or last day. Each day, you and your work change — even if ever so slightly. Therefore, each day is your first day. Also, no day at work will ever be identical to the previous day so it is also your last day. Although our career can span many years it can only be found and fully experienced within each precious day, hour, minute, and moment.

Career Zingers #13: I can fly

January 29, 2018 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

Preparing for Flight

Preparing for Flight (David Zinger, 2017)

I was sitting at the gym and she came up to me, looked me in the eye and declared, “I can fly – you know.” Then she took off with two quick steps then leaped into the air for a flight of about 100 milliseconds and an elevation of 3 inches, landing, taking two more steps and taking flight again. The belief and the action of this enthusiastic two-year old girl was inspiring. In your career, when did you stop believing you could fly and when did you stop trying?

“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.” ― Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

David Zinger is a 63 year old career, work, and engagement educator and coach who has never stopped flying.

Career Zingers #12: The Fiction of Our Career

January 24, 2018 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

“I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” – Mark Twain

Photograph by David Zinger from Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum

Is your career a work of fiction? I think most of us believe our career is non fiction – based on facts, real events, and real people. On the surface most of us fail to recognize our career is a work of nonfiction – a story of imaginary events, invention and fabrication as opposed to mere fact. It it time to fully acknowledge the centrality of nonfiction within our career because:

  1. We must realize how much our internal thoughts and stories influence all of our career experiences, emotions, and actions.
  2. We are both the protagonist and writer of our career story and therefore have choice and authorship in how we understand our career and how we act in mundane and challenging situations.
  3. We are not prisoners or victims of a malevolent author (job, boss, marriage, health) — like all experienced writers we must realize the bulk of our work consists of constant iteration and revision.

As Thomas M Cirignano stated: “Each of us is a book waiting to be written, and that book, if written, results in a person explained.”

…

David Zinger is a career, engagement, leadership, and work engagement expert. David fully resonates with the lyrics of Kris Kristofferson “a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction.”
