Great post from an awesome fellow coach.
This week it finally dawned on me that some of the long-term incentives I was counting on from my employer are “discretionary” – that is, they are subject to regular revision, either up or down or simply gone.
While this is a commonly accepted and sound business practice, it leaves our retirement financial planning up in the air.
When we examine closely the retirement benefits we are “counting on” we find that quite a few are beyond our control – they are “DISCRETIONARY” because policy makers in all countries have the “discretion” to mess around with our future. Some examples that come to mind in the US are: (1) the Social Security retirement age; (2) the health benefits covered by Medicare; and (3) the tax rate that will be effective when we are eligible to withdraw from our tax-deferred retirement funds.
So how do you react when you discover that you cannot count on retirement security? You could fall into “victim” mode – withdraw into a pessimistic view of the world and exclaim: “oh well, this is beyond my control.” You could also get really angry and build a destructive halo around you.
OR, you could use that negative energy to propel you to take positive action and begin to prepare a solid "Plan B" which will generate generous income after leaving the work force. You can either choose now, or be forced to choose when times are really tight.
Going into retirement is like planning for a long voyage. You don't want to leave the details to the discretion of others. First you need to decide your destination. Then you can select your itinerary and "set course". And don't leave the "packing" for the last minute...

I do not know how this would be received by some employers, but I found this idea very interesting! As someone who has been through stacks of resumes (that all look the same) in order to hire 1 or 2 candidates, I am intrigued by this idea! Anyone else have an opinion?

This has a strong meaning for me-- I've had ownership (i.e. a part) in companies, and yet I was willing to give that up in order to find something I truly felt a part of. One small word change, huge impact!

No big surprise. We need to have more conversations about the many reasons why this happens. We don't talk enough about the mostly subconscious self-sabotage that women experience. Placing others' opinions above our own and self-doubt in key decisions just to name a couple.

Hello wonderful fellow leaders! Thank you for all the likes, shares, and general positive energy!
I am doing some research for additional services I am putting together and am looking for 5-10 people in the energy industry who would be open to a very short (20 minute) interview.
Please let me know at: [email protected] if you are up for participating or message here on facebook. I would be happy to send you a copy of my Leader Mindset Blueprint as a thank you.

The truth is that most of us are very good at what we were trained to do. It's usually all the "other stuff” or soft skills that we need help with. These are the intangible elements that dramatically affect our careers. It might be the job you never interview for, the position you don’t get because that other person “just stood out more”, or even the opinion you never share in a staff meeting (even though you were right).
I created The Leader Mindset to help professionals in the energy industry live and work to their full potential. I am a firm believer in developing customized action plans through vision-focused coaching. You can start with our initial Create Your Foundation program at www.theleadermindset.com.
We can have all the technical training and knowledge available, but if we struggle with these less tangible, yet extremely critical elements, our happiness in our career-- and even our career success itself can be significantly affected.

What if you had the ability to choose everything about how you live your life? We all know women that seem to have it all; a successful career that they love balanced with a harmonious home life. They exude a sense of confidence and warmth and seem to see the opportunity in every challenge.What do those women have in common? They are taking a leadership role in their life.

So many (read: nearly all) of the women I talk to struggle with self-doubt every day. I've heard the so many stories from women about the exhausting need to do so much while maintaining a facade of having it all under control. Can breaking out of this begin with just letting ONE thing go? If so, what is your one thing?

I love this quote from Simon Sinek. I noticed something interesting when I started reading the comments on his page about this quote. Most people were pushing back on this idea and understandably citing their life situations that require them to work where they aren’t happy. Rent to pay, college to fund, kids to take care of.
We all need to have money to live and take care of our families. I believe the shift that needs to happen in our culture is the difference between all of those needs being in control of our lives and accepting the situation as “the way it is’ vs. embracing personal leadership by being more at the cause of events in our lives. It’s about making a plan forward towards doing something that you love. It’s about fighting through that feeling of frustration and working hard to generate a path towards your dreams.
My dad worked his entire life, destroying his back at a job he absolutely hated. He felt trapped, as though he had no other choice. Making this change is what personal leadership is all about-- asking more of yourself to create something you love!
