Deep Breath.
I’ve been practicing hot yoga off and on (more off, than on, really) for the last 3 years.  I can still remember the first time I came out of a class…I felt completely peaceful and at ease.  I was relaxed and energized at the same time.  My mind was clear, and my body was [...]

Pictures weren’t allowed in the slaughter house (which I’m sure most of you are thankful for!), but here’s my verbal reaction to what I experienced:

Happy New Year – I wish you all the best for 2010!
“One Day” – Matisyahu

One Day
sometimes I lay
under the moon
and thank God I’m breathing
then I pray don’t take me soon
I am here for a reason
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it’ll [...]

I just posted something from Seth Godin a couple days ago, but he’s just that good. This was his latest post. Have a read and see why you matter.
During my week as a Yoga Instructor in Week 7, I met Henri. I remember he said to me:
“When my students come into the class, it [...]

This comment was left by Izabella Tabarovsky, a career exploration and transition coach. I found it very interesting so thought that I would share.

Hi Sean,
I can’t tell you how much I’m inspired by your project and your message. Your statement in “My Generation” sounds like a manifesto I would sign a hundred times over! [...]

My week of work with CADFEL (Centre d’accueil et de formation en langues), a language school here in Trois-Pistoles, Quebec, hasn’t been all too exiting, but I did come to another realization which is great.
It is something I had previously recognized, yet I really understood it today; I really enjoy the creative process [...]

I am on a journey to discover the point at which my skills, aptitudes, personality, values, and passions come together to formulate a career in which I would be happy doing; a certain point of congruence. The interesting thing is that with One Week Job, I am in that situation presently… except for maybe [...]

Do you remember Erin who I met while I was working in Alberta a few weeks ago? Well, she sent me a quick email that said:
“Hey Sean! So I quit my job on Monday (finally!!!) at 11:45am and at like 2pm I got a call for an interview for this job I applied [...]

Shortly after graduating from college, I made a promise to myself:
I will not settle for a career that I am not truly passionate about, I will not allow yearning for weekends and the illustrious two week vacation a year to define my life, I will be in a positive work place situation and I [...]

Yesterday I accompanied Robert Manolson, a career development professional, to help facilitate a Communication/Leadership session for about 16 youth, aged 12-15 years. I spoke to them about my project, various things that I have learned throughout the experience, defining success with terms such as meaningful contribution, passion, courage, and how each new challenge we [...]

I think I mentioned yesterday that by Friday I was probably going to be pretty sore. Well, it is now Wednesday morning and guess what? I am sore. Justifiably so though as I participated in four different sessions yesterday, five and a half hours of yoga in total!
I am sitting in on as [...]

The first day of my crash course to becoming a Yoga Instructor went very well. I haven’t done much yoga practice in my time and was quickly reminded that it is quite challenging and that I am definitely going to be sore by the time Friday comes around.
I wonder how many people [...]

Although we are only entering Week Six of One Week Job, I have already seen myself grow and develop in ways that I had never thought. Sean is developing professional skills!
In launching One Week Job, it was my way of taking the leap into the working world, the “real world” so to [...]

I have been in contact recently with a great guy, Robert Manolson, a Career Development Professional based in Edmonton, Alberta. We had a great chat last night about how the priorities of my generation entering the work force are different to that of generations before.
I am really excited about my generation entering [...]

I had a great week up at Mount Seymour! Everyone I was working with love their jobs and were really easy to get a long with. This made for a fun atmosphere and I had some great talks with co-workers about careers, decisions and life in general.
I hadn’t really discovered snowshoeing before, and now [...]
