Career Coaching Blog

Talk about genius! (My last blog entry) I came upon a podcast on itunes that is a real gem. This is produced by the University of Minnesota, practically in my backyard, and dates back to 2002 to the present. Some of the brightest people show up on these dialogues which seem to take place three times a year.  Last night I listened to Dan Pink talk about the concepts behind his popular book A Whole New Mind. And today I’m listening to Richard Bolles (author of What Color is your Parachute) and Dick Leider (author of The Power of Purpose) talk about career change and finding your mission. This is not to miss, especially if you are wondering about your life mission! You can hear this conversation two different ways.

One way is to find the podcast Great Conversations through the itunes store through the itunes interface. The podcasts are free! (If you don’t have itunes on your computer, go to apple.com/itunes and download the software for free.)

Another way is to follow the link to this flash player and hear the Bolles/Leider dialogue here.

You’ll find two masters of the subject of life mission or calling having a great conversation about this topic with each other – and if you’re not inspired to either find your mission or live your mission if you already know it, then you may be missing a gene or two!

Enjoy – and if you feel so moved, do join me back here for a dialogue about this subject.

Until next time,

Melanie

P.S. If you want to listen to the dialogue with Dan Pink (well worth the time) who explores how we need to rethink everything in this 21st Century, follow this link.
