- senior vice president for real estate development company Corky McMillin

- stress physiologist with the Navy who studies the neural correlates of elite performance

- mental health specialist who works with people who used to be homeless

StrengthsFinder for Job Seekers beginning October 4, 7 p.m.

Published on August 31, 2010 by F&W Staff

Has God really created each one of us to a). do work and b). do work for which He has specifically equipped us? What if instead of sending out our generic resumes online, with our fingers crossed and a blind prayer, we took the time to evaluate our God given strengths and leverage those talents for our next career move.

Your work becomes more meaningful and satisfying as you work in ways that take into account how God wired you. Join us as we explore the unique combination of your top five strengths. This practical study
will help you learn how to do more of what you love and less of what drains you.

In this study, you will:
•Discover your top 5 strengths
•Identify potential career opportunities that require you to utilize your strengths
•Learn how to highlight those strengths when creating a resume and interviewing for a position
•Develop a vision for how you will apply your strengths in your current or future job, and in turn how that will glorify God

Workbook and assessment: StrengthsFinder 2.0
Cost: $20 for book, available from Harbor Church, Amazon or local bookstore
Location: TBD

Facilitated by: Julie McShane

Blogpost: What Do You Need?

Published on March 30, 2010 by F&W Staff

What began as a catch-up coffee with two important women in my life turned into a discussion about needs. And no, I'm not going to go all Maslow on you right now. It's actually a fairly messy topic if you think about it. Basic needs might be defined as food and clothing. But as humans with hearts and desires and feelings, do we have other needs that must be met if life is not to feel empty? Do we have the right to have expectations of those closest to us?

Blogpost: What Drives Your Dreams?

Published on March 30, 2010 by F&W Staff

In the world of giving career advice, we tell people to follow their dreams – to create a vision, set goals around it, and just do it. Two of my favorite questions to ask are, “What keeps you up late talking?” and “Where do you head first in a bookstore?”  I find that much of the time, people need to dream bigger dreams.

Blogpost: Operation Take Back Control of My Life

Published on March 16, 2010 by F&W Staff

My life has felt fairly out of control lately. I’m really good at running in circles and jumping through hoops. And if I were a golden retriever, that might be all well and good. The problem is (deep breath here)…that I get a lot done, but nothing feels very purposeful. And that’s a hard pill to swallow for someone like me who really is passionate about living a “Life on Purpose.”

So as we have turned over a new decade, I've been asking myself, "What does it look like to live an intentional life?"
