When it comes to success, no one makes it on their own.
There will be a coach, friend, family member or teacher who has proved to be inspirational along the way.
So, we should find a way to say ‘thank you’ and pass on that gift to someone else.
Who knows what that gift might inspire others to achieve.

We could be a top politician, or a middle manager: in either case losing a job puts us under a mountain of #stress
Beyond the #anger at losing something that mattered to us – and the worry about paying the bills – there could be worries about not being good enough to find something else.
But before we make any life changing decisions we should be smart and spend time being #calm .
Giving ourselves that breathing space means we are mindful of our own state and better equipped to choose what we want to do next.
Meditation can help achieve that mindful state and create space for clarity. Even six minutes spent focused on our wellbeing makes a difference, whoever we are.

Making Time To Be Calm Helps Wellbeing And Creativity
Some days are full of stress.
Those are the days we feel burdened and tense.
On a day like that it is healthy to pause and make time to calm things down.
We are healthier when we create space to breathe deeply and clear our thoughts.

#nationalcarersweek is about putting carers and their skills on the map
Our skills are developed from every part of our life, not just paid roles.
Ahead of National Carers Week, it is worthwhile mapping the key skills unpaid carers build up over time.
Careful Communication – keeping services providers family and friends informed of how they can help.
Thoughtful Teamwork – collaborating with others to get the right results at the right time.
Practical Problem-solving – finding out what isn’t working well and deciding on the best solution.
When the time is right we can draw on those skills when we apply for a new job role.
It makes sense to use the STAR model within job applications to show how these skills reflect the quality of our results, after we take action to accomplish an important task, against the backdrop of a challenging situation.
If you want to make STAR part of your next job application follow the links to some wide-ranging examples of the STAR model.

Some thoughts about self-care for #Internationalworkersday
If you have spent any time with people who are unpaid carers, especially in the margins of their day job, you will have heard someone say something similar to this.
Since #Carersweek is also coming up in June it is a good time to think about the value of self-care.
Why?
Because if we aren’t meeting our own needs, we aren’t going to be in good shape to look out for others.
So, every bit of nurturing we do for ourselves is an investment we make towards our care for others.

We can all suffer from Fear of Missing Out or #FOMO when searching for a job.
We fear we might be missing out if we don’t chase down every lead.
Or maybe we think that out-of-the-blue offer shows our unique gifts have been recognised at last.
That kind of magical thinking can leave us open to #scammers who want our attention, personal data, or money.
Here’s a reminder about practising due diligence and keeping safe during job search activity.

Success Comes About After We Take Regular Action Steps
It can feel overwhelming to realise it is time to change jobs.
Overcoming overwhelm sets us free to undertake job searches effectively..
But where do we start?
First, it helps to break the change process down into manageable pieces.
It then feels easier to manage the first and subsequent steps.
Here is a #Youtubeshort containing a reminder about the key parts of the job change process.
