When you know the talents, skills and interest your soul brought with you into this life, you are then well on your way to finding your Life’s Work.

Spiritually speaking, you find God in your job when you recognize, or remember, the gifts He gave you.

Why work 40 hours a week in a job that leaves you bored, mad or exhausted? You don’t have to.

When we make use of our gifts, we’ll find work that is not only rewarding, but rejuvenating, exciting and fulfilling.

There is a job like this for you. God gave you everything you need to succeed. So, what’s stopping you? Either you’ve forgotten what those gifts are or you know them, but are not using them.

So, how do you find God in your job?
• Make a list of your 3 favorite skillsn • List your top 3 valuesn • Which 3 areas of life hold the most interest for you?

Now ask yourself if you are making the best use of these treasures in your own job. Imagine having an artistic, creative talent and working like Bob Cratchit for Mr. Scrooge, tucked away in a back room somewhere, bent over your ledgers?

Let me give you an example of how this works, using my own top 9 spiritual gifts.
• SKILLS - Organized, Communications, Teache
• VALUES - Healing what’s not working, Solutions, rather than self pityn • INTERESTS - Spirituality, Getting to know people, Writing

What I have done with these top 9 gifts is built a business where I teach others how to remember their spiritual gifts and help them Discover their own Life’s Work.

What are your top 9 gifts from God and how can you combine them to find the perfect career for you?

Are you having a hard time finding your passion? Many of my career coaching clients wrestle with this. It was hard for me too. This month though I discovered a new way for my career coaching clients to find their passion. Although the circumstances are not what I would wish for anyone, everyone has tough times at some time in their lives so this might work for you too. My mother who is 96 came down with bronchitis at the end of September. Two days after the doctor had diagnosed her she got worse so I called an ambulance to take her to the hospital.

Tips for finding a job in 2010 The job market is shaky. Since the recession began in December 2007, the economy has lost approximately 1.4 million jobs. The traditional job search strategy of sending out résumés, attending large job fairs, often ends up going nowhere when there are more than 14 million unemployed individuals and only 2.5 million jobs to fill according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. You may think it’s impossible to find a job in today. Not so! Now is the very best time to move forward with force, while your competition is moving slowly.

When was the last time you asked a client for feedback about your services and how your office staff works as a team? You might turn up some useful information by doing a client feedback session when their work is complete. I recently had an experience with a hospital that is an example of how frustrating a poorly working team can be. I wish they had asked for feedback!
