It's been a while since I last added to my blog and now that is the summer months, I feel that this is an opportunity to pick up where I left off. This blog has been established to work with job seekers and job holders to integrate the methods of #GetSET. SET stands for Strategic • Engaged • Teamwork. I hope you'll find some articles of interest that you can read. If you have an article that you'd like to contribute, send me an email.
It's been a while since my last post. This blog is dedicated to help people regardless of where you are at in your professional journey. The time is now to get SET (strategic • engaged • teamwork). "Not everyone you influence will think the same way you do. You have to help them not only believe that they can succeed, but also show them that you want them to succeed." – John Maxwell Strategic
There have been an abundance of articles come out, since my last post. To reiterate, this blog is dedicated to help people regardless of where you are at in your professional journey. The time is now to get SET (strategic • engaged • teamwork).

If you haven't read the book, "2 Chairs" by Bob Beaudine, put it on your list to read. I took the time to read and reflect upon it, this year.
Mr. Beaudine ranks as one of the most influential authors that I have read and is part of the inspiration behind me doing this blog.
"You never know how many opportunities come your way. Nor will you know how small or how large. You simply need to make the most of each & every one! Be ready!"- Bob Beaudine

ENGAGED Las Vegas Connection Comes Full Circle at San Diego State (Ron Kantowski, Las Vegas Review-Journal) - This isn't your traditional article but it is a reminder of how important it is to cultivate relationships within your position. The end of the article is something that I have done to remind me.
Before re-entering the workforce in September 2013, I came across an author named Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11), who has published many great books including "Training Camp", "The Carpenter" and "The Seed." It is in these books along with many other key factors got me back into a career in sports information. If you'd like to borrow a copy from my library, contact me, I'd be glad to share it. Or if you would like to discuss it. A friend suggested this video and I thought it would be great to share here, especially on this key topic.
