2010 Is All About You!

Dec 28, 2009 / Community / Trackback

I have been in such a good mood most of the year peo­ple have actu­ally (seri­ously) asked me if it is a prescription.

The answer is no, I’m not even on Ibuprofen.

I’m just one of those for­tu­nate indi­vid­u­als who gen­er­ally has excel­lent years no mat­ter what hap­pens (I’m not spe­cial, I’ve had my share of adverse events too).  It was no dif­fer­ent this year. In fact, in 2009 I landed the job of my dreams, made new friends and man­aged to live each of the 365 days in peace and to the last drop of good­ness. What more could I wish for?

My wish is that 2010 is that I can help you, if even in some small way.

No strings attached — nada

I just want you to be as happy as I am and if I can help I want to.

That’s my promise to you, to be here for you if you need me. Recently I was happy to be invited to par­tic­i­pate in HR Car­ni­val, hosted this month by Bill Boor­man. You can watch me talk about 2010 being your year in the Vlog post I contributed.

So, whether it’s to be some­one who will lis­ten non-judgmentally to you, proof-read a doc­u­ment for you, bounce around your ideas with you, con­nect you per­son­ally with some­one in my net­work, help you with your job search, get you some added expo­sure in your pro­fes­sion, what­ever you need — I’m here all year.

You can leave a com­ment or you can click one of the social net­work­ing links on the page. I’m not dif­fi­cult to get in touch with.

What are you wait­ing for?

    This is pretty cool. Most peo­ple talk a good game, but that’s about it. I might have to take you up on that. Thanks Karla!

    Hi Karla!
    How incred­i­bly gen­er­ous of you! Yes! I really DO WANT YOUR HELP! Let’s plan some time to chat at length. I need a strat­egy. You lis­ten to me uncon­di­tion­ally, and con­tinue to inspire me. I really hate to ask any­one for help, how­ever, I really do need it.
    Always been afraid it makes me seem weak. I per­son­ally really feel a con­nec­tion to you.
    Call me soon!
    Let’s chat!
    Shen­nee

    Karla, I have only known you for a short time, yet you have been a great men­tor and inspi­ra­tion. There are few peo­ple one comes across in life that are so giv­ing with­out ask­ing any­thing in return. Yet you are one and incred­i­ble angel. I am reminded of a poem by Sis­ter Helen Kel­ley as described in Mar­garet Wheatley’s book. It seems to cap­ture you love for life.

    “Choose Life, only that and always, and at what­ever risk.
    To let life leak out, to let it wear away by the mere pas­sage of time, to with­hold giv­ing it and spread­ing it
    is to choose nothing.”

    Thanks Karla, for who you are.

    Karla, Your vir­tual friend­ship has added value to my 2009 for sure. I look for­ward to learn­ing more about recruit­ing, etc., from your tweets and radio com­men­tary — which in turn helps me add value for my job­seek­ing clients. And, we will have that island one day! August

    This is pre­cisely why I appre­ci­ate you, and like you so very much Karla. You are a giver not a taker-the world needs more peo­ple like you my friend.
