This is so good! I cannot tell you how many folks in my circle thought they were helping by saying “how are you going to do that?” I didn’t say it, but I felt it (my response being “WATCH ME”. ) And here we are. Private practice clinicians guiding people back to themselves and helping them keep up with the crisis of life itself. Such meaningful work. And the irony is you were one of those people in my circle who told me I CAN. ❤️☀️🙏🏼
I love this, John. I feel similarly but am challenged quite a bit in my thinking. It's so rare now for parents to encourage kids to be anything but finance, engineering or science-related majors, yet there's so many more ways to build a fulfilling life. David Brooks also had a brilliant column on related topics May 15, "We are the Most Rejected Generation." Definitely worth a look with insights for your clients if you haven't already seen it
I’ll look for the Brooks piece, Meg. Thank you! And I think a lot of us run into these challenges. Quick funny story: when my son was choosing majors and a career himself, I suggested he not major in business like I did, and that he definitely not work for Accenture (formerly Andersen). You can probably guess the rest!
