Where we're headed (with this blog)

Let's begin with the assumption that we're all seeking happiness, however defined.

Joseph Campbell asked us to follow our bliss. Now more than ever, thanks to social media tools, we are able to do that faster and in a greater community context than ever.

Don't like your job, career, whatever, so what.

What do you like? Who do you read? What energizes you? Let it out. Get it out. Get unblocked. Connect with likeminded people and see what happens.

This is as much an experiment for me as it is for whomever happens upon it.

As a retained recruiter, I often hear senior leaders plead for subordinates to step up, take responsibility, hold themselves (and others) accountable. You will never be able to do that without being in tune and true to yourself, your strengths, your fears, weaknesses etc.

I know firsthand how difficult it can be to be honest with ourselves. My hunch is that, ironically, maybe especially in the context of this seemingly endless and impersonal international virtual community, what we learn about ourselves will be particulary personal. TjK
