Hope is a powerful tool.<\/p>\n

Hope is defined as: \u00a0“to expect with confidence, or to trust with anticipation.” \u00a0Do you have hope?<\/p>\n

I often interact with professionals who share\u00a0they have lost hope. \u00a0When I hear someone say, “I have no hope” or “My hope is gone” — \u00a0for whatever reason — it breaks my heart.<\/p>\n

The loss of h\"Hopeope can take one to a dark and lonely place. \u00a0It can create despair even when the world offers abundance.<\/p>\n

To me the\u00a0loss of hope means you have stopped trusting yourself, your creator, and maybe, all the blessings of this world. \u00a0Loss of hope may also mean you have stopped seeking support. \u00a0You may believe no one can, or will, help you. \u00a0It may also mean you have bought into the myth that successful people don’t struggle.<\/p>\n

When I witness that level of lost hope in a job search or a career situation, I want to cry. \u00a0That single shift \u00a0in thinking may lead one into a downward spiral. \u00a0Or it may end a valuable career. \u00a0The result is the world misses out on the value you have to offer.<\/p>\n

Many in my field don’t want to discuss the issues related to loss of hope. \u00a0I believe it is time to start talking about this issue in a truthful manner.<\/p>\n

Professionals know, yet sometimes forget, our careers and lives are journeys. \u00a0These journeys are not made alone. \u00a0Years ago, a mentor taught me: \u00a0“You don’t come into this world alone, you don’t succeed alone, and you don’t\u00a0exit this world alone, unless that is your choice.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Building a career, searching for your next position, and serving and leading organizations will have tough spots.\u00a0\u00a0Yet, there are always those who will help and support you.<\/p>\n

Yes, organizations, systems, individuals and sometimes you, create barriers to truthful communication, honestly and support. \u00a0It does exist. \u00a0It is part of the world and our current system. \u00a0However, we can change this if we speak the truth.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday evening October 1, several delightful, confident and successful businesswomen (lead by Michelle Tenzyk<\/a>, a Human Resource Professional I admire) will begin a conversation and launch a movement. \u00a0This is a movement I believe every professional should know about and watch. \u00a0The movement has been titled, \u201cThe Truth Behind Our Titles\u2122.”<\/p>\n

Why should all professionals know about it?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Truth Behind Our Titles<\/a>\u2122\u201d begins a real conversation about the truth behind successful professionals. \u00a0I believe it will set the stage for new and different business conversations. \u00a0Conversations with the potential to shift the belief that professional success requires you to hide or disguise your inner struggles and difficulties.<\/p>\n

This movement will not only create shifts that will impact professionals and relationships at the executive level, but at all levels. \u00a0It will impact not only individuals, but also organizations and systems, as well.<\/p>\n

The October 1 event will\u00a0open\u00a0a forum for conversation about professionals as whole people. \u00a0Please plan to attend this event if you are in the NYC area. Learn more here<\/a> and watch for events in your area in 2015.<\/p>\n

It is not possible to build our personal brands on a solid foundation if we cannot truthfully communicate who we are. \u00a0When leaders and other high achievers willingly speak out about their own ups and downs, I believe many organizations and the people within them will have the courage to follow suit.<\/p>\n

As the world hears the message in \u201cThe Truth Behind Our Titles<\/strong>\u2122\u201d movement, I do believe it will create a shift. \u00a0A shift that allows for hope and a powerful model for how professionals can share the truth in a positive manner.<\/p>\n

In Michelle Tenzyk’s words, \u201cHope, once found, is one of the most powerful tools.”<\/strong> \u00a0All of us struggle at one time or another. \u00a0Isn’t it time to share the truth without fear of unintended consequences?<\/p>\n

Tickets for the NYC October 1 event are on sale now. You can register here: http:\/\/thetruthbehindtitles.com<\/a>. \u00a0Go if you are able.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more from me on this movement. \u00a0Here is a post <\/a>with additional insights. \u00a0Please share your comments and thoughts below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
