FREE Student Vocational Workshop on Tuesday, January 5th!

Save Yourself $30,000 While Helping Your Teen Identify their Life Calling, Career, & College

You may remember that, among other things, my coaching and consulting business assists adults who are considering a job change or even a major re-tooling of their career.  However, we also have a streamlined process for helping young people select the most appropriate career path for themselves, one that is not only professionally rewarding bet even more importantly, personally fulfilling.

Parents who have attended these sessions say the program has saved them over $30,000 per child!  Summer is the perfect time to help your student determine their vocational calling in life.  By avoiding the 1.5 - 2 extra years of college that typically occur from students going to college undecided or by changing their major after they arrive, studies show you can save $30,000 in college expenses.  

100% of the students who have participated in our program have graduated in the major they declared when they entered college - and in 4 years or less!  Even more importantly, they experienced a substantial increase in self-esteem, became better life-long decision makers, and dramatically increased their enthusiasm about school right now!

The following is an upcoming FREE workshop:
Tuesday, January 5th, 6:45pm in Lake Orion, MI

If you know of a young person that could benefit from this workshop, please pass this message along to them.   If they are not in the Pittsburgh area, no problem - I am going to do a webinar as well - just have them contact me. 

In addition, we currently have a few openings in our vocational calling coaching services.  If they start soon, the bulk of the workload for the student will be completed before school starts again in a few weeks.  Contact me soon if interested in learning more about how we can assist your student in this important area of their life.

Avoid Wasting Over $30,000 & Two Years of Your Life

Know anyone who is a high school or college age student  who needs help finding their calling in life?  I've worked with over a hundred young people to help them determine their vocational calling, select a college major, and develop a process for picking the best college for them.  The student will achieve the following results:

1. Identify the career that will not only be professionally rewarding, but most personally fulfilling.
2. Develop a greater sense of life purpose.
3. Enhance their decision making abilities.
4. Significantly improve their self-esteem.
5. Turbo-charge their interest in getting good grades in school or college.

Now is the very best time to start this program as students have the summer to devote time to this incredibly life changing program!

The Problem With Common Sense


People tend to order their lives according to “conventional wisdom,” a generally accepted set of principles that may include centuries-old folk sayings or that may have arisen from contemporary experience. These sayings and beliefs have become so ingrained in the public mind that they are often referred to as “common sense.”

In both your business and your personal life, following conventional wisdom is usually the “safe” approach. But, the people who make a remarkable difference in the world are typically those who examine conventional wisdom with a critical eye, using “not-so-common sense.”

Most people don’t question conventional wisdom. It’s just “the way things are.” Others see it as a handy starting place for examining their own values. Using not-so-common sense, they often discover wisdom that is far from conventional.

Somewhere along the way, someone questioned conventional wisdom, examined it from all sides, developed new principles, and produced human progress.

Common sense told the medieval world that the Earth was the center of the universe and the sun revolved around it. Copernicus followed not-so-common sense to a new understanding of the universe and our place in it.

I have lived long enough to acknowledge the value of wisdom based on generations of experience. I have also lived long enough to know that those who follow conventional wisdom uncritically may end up in a rut that leads nowhere.

So when I hear someone quote an old saying that suggests it’s the wisdom of the ages, I start looking for footnotes and often find them with the nuggets of not-so-common sense they contain. That sort of skeptical examination has served me well, and I recommend it to those who want to enjoy, discover, and achieve fulfillment in their lives.

The conventional explorer, in crossing a stream, may look at the stones rising from the water as islands of stability in the swirling current. And that they may be. But the creative explorer will stop and turn the stones over to determine whether priceless gems might lie beneath or what veins of gold might be incorporated in their mass.

Ancient adages are like those rocks in the stream, assuring the crosser that it’s safe to step here. Those old saws serve a useful purpose. But unless we’re willing to turn them over and look at the other side, we may never know what nuggets of wisdom, what omens of triumph, what not-so-common principles lie underfoot.
