3 Questions That Help You Move - Kathy Caprino
3 Questions That Help You Move In thinking about your life, have you ever been completely stuck in a situation, not knowing what next step to take? Or have you found yourself ruminating about something, going around and around about it, without finding a way out of your worry, fear, or powerlessness? Are you going through that now? Several years ago, my friend Trudy Griswold, author of the wonderful guidebook Angelspeake (see www.angelspeake.com), shared with me what she called three questions of discernment. These three tiny questions offer a way out of your worry and indecision. Answering these questions honestly and directly will move you forward in powerful ways. The three questions of discernment are: Is this any of my business? How important is this anyway? When do I have to make this decision? Is This Any of My Business?If youre like me and many of my clients, we spend untold minutes and hours each day thinking and worrying about things that are really none of our business. For instance, we might see someone doing something that we feel is not in their best interest, and we wonder, Should I tell them what Im thinking? Or we might be judging our sibling or neighbor for how theyre behaving with their children. Again, we think, Whats the best thing for me to do here? Should I speak up? Asking the question, Is this any of my business? will help you decide. You can take the view that everything is your business, or you can consider that each individual has his or her own path, challenges, preferences, styles, and dreams. Their values and goals may not intersect with yours. Their way of handling problems may not reflect your views. In fact, they may be radically different indeed. Whatever the case, whats going on with your friend, sibling, neighbor, colleague, etc. is in fact, not really any of your business, unless it directly impacts you. Then, of course, it is your business, and its time to speak up. I consider it my business when the following conditions are present: I or my family are being directly affected Another person makes it my business, by directly asking me for my help or guidance When I believe someone may be doing harm to himself/herself or others, and its critical to act on their behalf When I know that wanting to be involved in this situation is NOT about stroking my ego or feeding my negative judgments I love the idea that, When you experience someone having a problem, be part of the solution. Speaking up and taking action when it is truly your business represents being part of the solution. Of course, there are times in life when we wish to be part of a solution to a more global problem that may not seem to directly impact our daily lives (such as contributing to reducing world hunger, joining an organization that assists war-torn communities, etc.) In these cases, I believe its most beneficial to contribute personally in the way that activates your energy best, while avoiding blaming and criticizing others for what they are not doing. How Important Is This Anyway?This question gets to the heart of the issue of the relative importance of what youre worried about. Should you be devoting countless minutes to it each day? Is this issue/problem going to make a large impact in your life? Or is it a minor, insignificant issue that really wont make much difference either way? Getting clear on the importance of the issue will help you decide consciously how much brain power and emotional energy you should be devoting to it. Give yourself a time limit each day to think about this issue. Stick to the limit, and then move on. When Do I Have to Make This Decision?I have found this question to be so powerful that it stops me in my worrying tracks. So often, we fret about a decision that we in fact dont have sufficient information to make. We will have it, but not yet. So why waste time agonizing over something that is not ready to be decided on? I remember when I was obtaining my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy, I became very concerned about what I would do the minute I graduated. I worried and obsessed about this, months before the event. Finally, I asked myself, Do I need to make this decision today, or even this month? Do I have enough information to make a well-informed decision? The answer was no to both. From that minute on, I actively stopped myself from worrying about it. When my mind would go back to it, Id gently nudge my thoughts away from the issue. When the time came to decide, the right path for me was very clear, and I took it. Decide the date by which your decision needs to be made. Mark that date in your calendar, and let it go until then. ***********************************************************Answering these three pivotal questions will help you reclaim your mental and emotional power, and assist you in making decisions that move you forward successfully and consciously. Theyll also release you from being overly-connected to what others are doing. Thats their business. Its time to get clear about your business, and attend to it in ways that bring you fulfillment, joy, and success.

Client Case Study Jaime Foucher - When I Grow Up
Client Case Study Jaime Foucher - When I Grow Up Um, do you know that Ive coached hundreds of women since I started offering dream career guidance in 2008? And that these women are freakin rock stars, leaving soul-sucking jobs and traveling the world and launching creative, grown-up businesses and simply doing work that fits their lifestyle goals? Well ya do now and youll hear their stories firsthand in my Client Case Studies series! Jaime Foucher wrapped up Discover Your Dream Business in August, and she already launched her facilitation and consulting business, Innovation Trench! And while she has no plans to leave her day job, shes happier at work, loving the side hustle life, is already booking client work and speaking gigs. Get ready for the shot of inspiration youre looking for! Why did you decide to work with me? I got so much out of the course you created for Creative Live on building a dream career. Then I was getting awesome value of of the content you were sharing in your blog and newsletters. I came to realize I needed more help to fine tune my vision, and I felt like you would have really valuable information and would be fun to work with. Fun, effective and insightful help is what I needed. What were you doing work-wise when we started working together and what are you doing now? I was employed full time in a corporate position and still am. For me, this journey is about taking that someday dream of consulting and having my own business and making it happen sooner. I had this fantasy of a 2nd career as a step toward retirement. I found myself asking, Why wait? Why do I have to wait to work on my passion projects and to choose wonderful, creative people to collaborate with me on them? So, Im still in that corporate job, but I have soft launched my side hustle and am making plans for next year and a couple projects. What was your biggest takeaway from our work together? If I have to choose just one, Id say it was that I had the answers all along. I just needed a great coach to help me uncover them. That there were ways to cut through all of the noise created by my crazy life and type A personality and find what I knew to be true. Think of someone who is currently in the shoes you wore when we first started working together. What advice do you have for her? Id tell her do your homework and trust this process! Youll get to a great place. Be open to the idea that the perfect business or career may be different than what you initially envisioned, but it will ultimately be the perfect starting point for you in this moment. Is there anything thats been a game-changer for you when it comes to your business that you can share? Wed love a good resource or a mindset/productivity tip! What has been hardest for me is time and energy. In my typical style, I took on developing my business, keeping my very demanding day job and a kitchen remodel all at once. But, thats my life. I want this dream, so there is never a perfect time. Productivity for me has been about prioritizing my energy. I needed to shift how I was working and planning my days to allow myself to give that 45 minutes of focus time on my business at a time when I was at my highest energy of the day. For me that often means in the morning, so I adjusted my schedule here and there to work on my business first. Then I could go about the rest of my day. For some people, that may look different. Dont always wait until you are exhausted from everything else to try and put in time on developing your business. Whats on the horizon for your business? Wed love to hear about any upcoming offerings or goals! My approach may be a little different than many of your other clients. I have no plans to quit my day job any time soon. I did get some great insights on what I need to do in my day job to be more content. A great side benefit of the Discover Your Dream Business work! My goals right now are to begin to build a tribe of people who want to innovate or have a desire for more creative ways to solve problems and design products and services. My initial offerings will be geared toward helping others push past their blocks to innovation. Right now, that will most likely be in the form of offerings that create passive income. Im noodling on a few things for 2020 including an ebook, an on-demand workshop on co-creation techniques, and a newsletter. A stretch goal would be to pull together an innovation retreat! Something at a great location, or maybe a cruise, where wed spend some focused energy getting inspired and allowing for some think time on new ideas or ones we never seem to have time to formulate. Where can we find you and your work? You can find me at www.innovationtrench.com and on LinkedIn.

Inequality and Education New Research Says More School Wont Close the Income Gap
Inequality and Education New Research Says More School Won't Close the Income Gap There is a growing acknowledgement that inequality is one of the most pressing national issues. President Obama certainly feels that way. In his State of the Union Speech this past January, Obama focused his speech around the issue, framing the debate as a question about the future of America. âWill we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well?â the President asked. âOr will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?â Obama made no secret of his own position, or that education was his preferred method of closing the gap between rich and poor. His address centered around a number of policies that would increase college access for lower-income Americans, including a $60 billion proposal to make community college free for all. But is education really the solution to inequality that itâs often presented as? A new paper from the Hamilton Project, co-authored by former Treasury Secretary and former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers, argues that the answer is no. Instead, the researchers assert, policymakers tend to conflate two separate issues: helping lower-income Americans become more financially secure and decreasing inequality overall. Increased educational attainment across lower-income brackets would indeed result in higher income and more economic security for vulnerable groups, the paper finds. But so much income is concentrated among Americaâs richest citizens that a modest increase in earnings at the bottom end of the income distribution will barely make a dent in overall inequality. To reach this conclusion, Summers and his co-authorsâ"Hamilton Project director Melissa Kearney and visiting fellow Brad Hershbeinâ"created a simulation in which one out of every ten American men between the ages of 25 and 64 without a bachelorâs degree suddenly graduated from college. (The simulation was restricted to men because less-skilled males have seen particularly steep drops in employment, earnings, and college attainment.) âTo be clear, this would be a tremendous accomplishment,â the researchers note. Creating this many new graduates would be âonly slightly less than the observed increase in the college share over the entire 34-year period of 1979 to 2013.â The authors then randomly assigned each of the newly credentialed Americans an income based on the earnings of actual graduates, and adjusted for the reduced premium a college degree would offer if more workers obtained one. The results show income in the bottom 25th percentile would increase from $6,100 to $8,720, and median income would increase from $34,000 to $37,060, while those with higher incomes were hardly affected. Despite this significant surge in the earningsâ"the above increase would be âenough to nearly erase the decline in median earnings between 1979 and 2013, and cut the decline at the 25th percentile by one-third,â according to the paperâ"inequality barely budged. Under the simulationâs conditions, the Gini coefficient, a metric for measuring income inequality, declined from 0.57 to 0.55. For comparison, the Gini coefficient for the U.S. in 1979 was 0.43. âOverall earnings inequality would hardly changeâ"and would not come close to 1979 levelsâ"if the share of working-age men with a college degree were to increase by even a sizable margin,â add the authors. Why does more education attainment have such a small effect? The researchers find that decreasing the portion of the population without a college degree primarily helps those in the bottom 25% of earnings, raising their wages relative to higher income groups. Meanwhile, this scenario would do little to decrease inequality in the top half of the earnings spectrum, where most of the nationâs income disparity is contained. The authors are clear to note that better access to higher education, whether it reduces inequality or not, is still an important goal. âOur nation should aim to increase the educational attainment and, more generally, the skills of less-educated and lower-income individuals because in the long-run, this is almost surely the most effective and direct way to increase their economic security, reduce poverty, and expand upward mobility,â the paper concludes. However, the group notes, fixing inequality and growing the salaries of the less-educated are not the same issue, and wonât be solved by the same policies. âThese are distinct, albeit interrelated challenges,â the researchers explain, âand the public discourse would be much improved if it stopped conflating them.â Close Modal DialogThis is a modal window.
