What does it mean to "work yourself happy"? To me, this means to do what you love and love what you do! Work should be natural and effortless!
Work Yourself Happy works because it focuses on the clients interests and talents and allows them to give up the "shoulds" - you know the things we all hear we "should" do, but they aren't necessarily what we want and somehow we keep holding on to them...
People find themselves in jobs they don't love because they follow their "shoulds", although they rarely recognize this until a coach helps them see it. Then as they begin to put thought into their own desires they can realize their own professional goals vs. being in a career they should be in.
Here are 3 things you can do TODAY to increase your chances of being happy at work:
1. Do what you love
2. Have balance between work and the rest of your life
3. Be around positive people regularly

The Top 10 Approaches to Your Career Goal Attainment
Most of us spend the majority of our working hours engaged in work or work related activities. Yet over 80% of the population is dissatisfied with their current job situation. These top 10 tips will assist you in achieving your career goals.
1. Whether you're unemployed, underemployed, considering a career change, re-entering the job market, or recently graduated, the first step toward reaching your career potential is to objectively analyze and evaluate your skills and capabilities. Have a coach or career counselor objectively assess your natural talents, skills and professional strengths.
2. Set realistic short and long range goals. Create a plan that will give you a competitive edge. Be specific. Have it reviewed objectively.
3. Design a high profile resume. You must have a resume that will sell you. Don't send out a resume until it is a strong sales tool that represents you.
4. Gain information on industry trends and specific companies. Use a business database, CD-ROM or on-line systems.
5. Develop sophisticated networking capabilities.
6. Create winning interview skills. While you may be an expert in your profession, you must be able to sell yourself during an interview.
7. Negotiate the salary that you require. Have a strategy for negotiating top dollar. A coach or career counselor can give you tools for getting the money you want.
8. Use marketing techniques for a competitive edge. You need to implement an effective marketing strategy to increase your visibility and give you an edge. Create a plan targeted to meet your needs.
9. Find long term support, even after your short term career goals are met.
In order to keep growing, stay abreast of market trends and issues related to your career growth and development. Use an objective partner to support you.
10. Use an approach that meets your needs. Don't follow guidelines in a book or from a friend if they are not comfortable for you and not representative of who you are. Be authentic in designing a career search and marketing plan that really reflects who you are.

Business Coaching Sector on an Upturn Again!
The downturn in our economic condition in the US is opening up more coaching work as corporations are downsizing and individuals are hiring career coaches to move foward. Also, as corporations downsize this causes much chaos within the organization and so those corporations are hiring coaches to help people deal with the changes the downturn in bringing and their fears about their employment.
Just in the past 7 weeks I have personally been contacted by 5 companies and 11 individuals.
Coaching is unique in that when business is great, corporations hire coaches and individuals hire coaches to change careers, start their own businessess, etc. When the economy is down, individuals hire coaches to find new careers and companies hire coaches to help them retain key talent while downsizing others.
I am glad I am in a stable industry and self-employed!
