Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently
Today women are better educated, have better jobs, better pay, more choices about mates, careers ... just about everything. But that has not translated into women being happier. Actually with more choices the opposite is true. Womens overall happiness has been on a steady decline since 1972. This decline in happiness occurs across the board, regardless of whether women have children, how many they have, or how much they earn. Marcus Buckingham is a well known researcher. He has written five previous books which centered around the concept that each person will be happiest when they are working from their greatest strength. Find Your Strongest Life got its start from a three hour workshop with Oprah. The workshop was conducted with 30 talented but unfulfilled women. In his mission statement Marcus says, "My mission is to help each person identify her strengths, take them seriously and offer them to the world." As you read the book you will discover facts, read some eye opening research, and see that many women are living a life based on myths more so than truth. Reading the stories of women seeking will help you to see that you are not alone on this journey. |
Are you stuck in a job you hate? Feel like you just don't have enough to give to your professional life and your personal life? You're not alone. Career coach Marcus Buckingham met with a group of women just like you to help them figure out how to reignite the passion in their careers. Now it's your turn! Take Marcus's step-by-step workshop and use his lessons to change your life.

What The Heck Is A Formal Personal Development Plan?
Our ancestors believed that the written word was magic. If you wrote it down, it had to come true. In one sense, they were right. We are re-discovering the power of the written word today. Although whether or not writing has magical powers is debatable, the act of writing down anything, even a formal personal development plan, is not. The conscious act of writing out a plan seems to always get the subconscious to work on it. Versatile And Individual Article to continue below-------------
A formal personal development plan is very similar to a formal business development plan. To be honest with you, I'm not sure why the plans are referred to as "formal". The plans aren't dressed up in tuxedos or gowns. However, the word "formal" is powerful word to your subconscious. Whenever it hears "formal", it thinks, "Uh-oh, this is serious. I better pay attention." You can use whatever individual touches you want to your formal personal development plan. You can use a certain color ink or font (if it's on computer) and a certain color paper. You can add clip art, stickers, glitter - whatever. It's your formal personal development plan. You can do what you want with it. The only thing is that you should store it where you can easily find it. Article to continue below----------
Modify Periodically All a formal personal development plan is, is a written set of goals you hope to achieve in your lifetime. It could be about one aspect of your life or it could be about your life in general. Usually, though, the more specific you are about your goals, the more likely they will come to pass. "Live a happy life" would not be a good thing to write for your personal development goals. "Learn how to relax without booze" would be an excellent goal that would eventually lead you to live a happier life. Another advantage of a formal personal development plan is that you can keep track of your goals, reminding your subconscious (and your consciousness) of what your overall plan is and how far you still have to go. You also can see how much progress you've made. This is always good for self-esteem. But a formal personal development plan is not a binding contract. You can always change the details, omit a step or add other things. As you grow and mature, you will find that you are a different person than you were years ago. So, naturally, your goals and desires will change along with the rest of you.
