Passion Revisited Part 1:  My journey into rediscovering my passion

Hi, Karin Naslund here with Naslund Consulting and the Great Supervision Training Series.  It’s been a while since I have done Tips Tuesday for Leaders and I want to tell you why. Well, there’s a couple of reasons.   First is, through the summer I worked really hard at completing a course on social media marketing and I really felt I needed a bit of a break just to regroup and to gain a bit of insight into why I was doing what I was doing,  and how I best wanted to spend my time online. Secondly, in addition to being a consultant and educator I am a farmer’s wife and so, through the months of September and October, I was helping my husband as we brought the crop in.   I’m basically the gopher and I do whatever is asked. I run the combine when I’m asked to do that, or this year I actually spent my time on the tractor waiting for the grain so I could come to pick it up and then drop it off. I was kind of like a go-between which gave me lots of time to reflect on why I’m doing what I’m doing and how I want to go about doing it.  I read some really great books as I was sitting there including books by Marcus Buckingham and Simon Sinek that I want to share with you in future Tips Tuesdays For Leaders.

The time gave me the opportunity to really reflect on what it is I want to do going forward and to realize that, you know what,  I can make a change if I want to. I’ve been feeling really uncertain about how I want to approach the next 10 + years of my career.  If you’ve been in that same place, have been so passionate about what you do, and then begin to feel at a loss and not quite sure if this is what you want to continue to do,  then you’re going to appreciate some of what I’m going to be talking with you about over the course of the next few weeks. I want to be able to share the path that I undertook and some of the things that I discovered in that time of reflection,  and how that has helped me. Not that I have resolved everything but I really do want to share and hopefully inspire you as you move forward in your career. I encourage you to stay with me and check in with me next week. I am going to be doing more of the Tips Tuesday For Leaders and I look forward to talking with you then.  Have a fabulous week and remember success is yours!

Bye for now
