Themes, Dreams and Life Story
One of the favored techniques in personal development in adult education is that of the life story. It is often a powerful way for people to connect to long lost dreams and to notice patterns in their life. What may not be so well known is its power as a way to reveal what you were born to do, what your work blueprint is. Laura Berman Fortgang (in her book Now What? Uncover Your Life Blueprint) describes three tools to use with your life story to elicit meaning from it: Fir

Summertime and the Cattle are Moulting
Summertime and the Cattle are Moulting No, you have not accidentally landed on the Farmer’s journal page. The title is inspired by an alte ative version of that party classic Summertime, and it came to mind as I was reading the results of the recent “RecruitIreland” article on summer in which it showed that nearly one in three don’t take their holiday entitlements, and that unsurprisingly 58% of people said they were “too busy” to take their full entitlements. Am I the only

Al Gores’ Approach to Work-Life Balance
In Al Gore’s documentary on global warming (An Inconvenient Truth), he makes reference to a picture used by the Bush administration to illustrate the conflict between money and environment. In the picture, there is a scale: on one side of the scale, there is a pile of gold bars, on the other the earth. As Al Gore somewhat wryly pointed out…gold is not much use to you if you have no earth. I must say the same thought strikes me when I read about “work-life balance.” If you “a

2007: Choose a Theme, Not a Resolution
When I began to write this article, I decided to go back to basics and check out the dictionary definition of “resolutions.” I got “A thing resolved on, an intention”.
