Job Action Day - Whos Your Cheerleader

Job Action Day - Whos Your Cheerleader This post is part of an entire day of useful career advice called Job Action Day, sponsored by Quintessential Careers.This weekend I was part of an amazing event The New York City Marathon. No I didnt run. I was a cheerleader. I made it a point to bundle up and go out along the marathon route and encourage runners.Why you ask? Because everyone could benefit from a cheerleader to help them achieve a milestone.For me, I was amazed to see the runners smile and pick up the pace when fueled by the sights and sounds of the countless fans pulling for them. Thousands cheered alongside me for everyone brave enough to make the effort. It was contagious.That very energy made me think about the many different ways we can cheer each other on through the current economic challenges and how we need to encourage each other to continue to follow through on our dreams.Cheerleaders have always lifted my spirits when Im struggling. Theyve kept me going when I wasnt sure I could, and applauded me when I ve achieved. And I do the same for my clients.So with today designated Job Action Day maybe it is not about an action directly for you and your job situation. Maybe its a little reminder for you to reach out to someone you know, someone you love, or even a friend you havent met yet and encourage them to finish their marathon. Encourage them take action with their careers.Trust me it is contagious.Who needs your cheerleading today? How might you help that person follow through on their dreams and take action with their careers? Believe me, your spirits will be lifted as well.
