Are you living a joyful life?
I’m living a richly blessed life! This is due in part to friends and family who’ve given me much of themselves.
Take my Haitian friend and his wife; though we meet infrequently – when we do, it’s always a joyous experience. On one occasion, my friend joked – a barber hoisted a sign outside his shop that read ” Haircuts for $10!” across the street, another barber opened his shop and posted his sign “We Repair $10 haircut!“.
I am like the second barber, not to provide haircuts but to inspire, shore up, and build up the people working at the highest levels of software consulting and those who should be working at that level but aren’t.
As a software consultant, working across multiple organizations exposed me to the richness of the human spirit. I’ve met people who were brilliant but oblivious to their brilliance. People who could ROCK the software consulting world but didn’t know that, and even if they did, didn’t know where to begin. At the same time, I was tasked to locate and hire people to fill software consulting positions, but I couldn’t find enough people. I wondered when “someone” could see the value and opportunity in this dilemma and do something about it. Apparently, someone was in my mirror.
My company provides mentoring and coaching to professionals working outside of tech. These individuals don’t need to be highly technical but have business experience, good problem solvers, and are personable. With targeted education and appropriate career counseling, they can quickly take on LEAD positions as software consultants.
They learned to avoid my pitfalls and grasp the many opportunities and advantages that benefited me. They learn to build an integrated work-life and avoid getting out of whack, as could happen in this field. You know someone who could help with that, right?
I serve individuals through several service offerings via Mentoring, Coaching, and Webinars. Have I piqued your interest? Check us out at www.jenniferstarns.com to learn how we’ll help make those repairs!
