The Gifts in Each and Every Job
Heart of a Woman in Business, Stories| No Comments »Story submission for the Heart of a Woman in Business book by Sheryl Roush 
releasing October 1, 2008
The Gifts in Each and Every Job
In my work as a career coach, I consistently advise my clients to look for the gifts in every job, especially the current one where they may most feel trapped and miserable. It’s well worth the time to review and identify the very best lesson, experience, or skill picked up from each position in each company. This exercise helps replace feelings of regret or dissatisfaction with gratitude and appreciation which helps a person move on toward success and realizing their full potential.
Being a coach who believes in “walking the talk,” I too have performed this analysis on my own job history. My very first job while in high school as a “kennel girl” at a veterinarian’s office taught me about customer service, the business side of pet care, and showed me the true value of pets in human lives. Summer jobs during college as an office clerk at a copper mine gave me opportunities to learn new skills and understand the operations of a large company. Retail work during the school year provided spending money and a social network.
As my focus on pursuing a career after college increased, I became aware of a different level of gifts and lessons. Working for small, entrepreneurial companies built the desire and experience needed to follow my dream of owning a business. A career in the staffing industry allowed me to hone my operations and supervisory skills and to understand the importance of matching employee talents with the right job. A position as a project manager gave me the appreciation of seemingly minute details required to implement new processes. I can look back at each and every job ever held and clearly see why I was there and how it helped me get to where I am today – the owner of successful career coaching and organizational training company.
However, there was one job experience that baffled me. About 12 years ago, I spent two years working in a large retail organization moving up through the ranks to Assistant Manager of a multi-million dollar store. The gift of this job continued to elude me during my review over the years of its many components. It was perhaps one of my least gratifying jobs with more negative memories than positive. I could easily identify lessons learned about those things I didn’t want to repeat–the awful hours, a restrictive environment, and poor management practices. I knew there had to be something good there and was determined to pinpoint it. Just recently, I did find that one gift.
Like most of us, the values and priorities I expected from my work life shifted and I moved from being so very work focused to having a more holistic view of all my life’s components. Other facets developed and took precedence: the love of family and friends, the importance of life-work balance, good health, spirituality, and the need for a sense of meaning and purpose in all my activities. As I reviewed that particular job again after having made this mental shift, the gift became very clear–my friend Sharon.
Sharon was my co-assistant manager at the store and we developed a fun working relationship–first based on our mutual discontent and knowing that there was a better way to work–and then from our curiosity and true appreciation of each other’s strengths. Eventually, we each found different job directions and moved on with our careers outside of that retail experience. Our friendship then really blossomed and became a strong and supportive one. When it’s so easy to stay in touch and get together regularly, even years later, that is a sign to me of something truly meant to be. Through these last dozen years, we have helped each other through life’s ups and downs and share an unbreakable bond–one based on trust, respect, and love.
Now I look back on that one particular job and see how its gift was the best of all–a constant reminder of what’s truly important, more so than the paycheck, the career path, or any work related lesson – the precious gift of friendship.

POEM: The Entrepreneur
Heart of a Woman in Business, Poems| No Comments »Published in Heart of a Woman in Business by Sheryl Roush
The Entrepreneur
I used to spend a lot of time trying to impress,
Little did I realize how it added to my stress.
My zealousness for business and my desire to succeed,
Led me at times to stretch the truth, exaggerate, mislead.
Name-dropping, bragging or a little white lie,
It’s harmless I’d say, I must impress, or at least try.
My home is the biggest, I make lots of money,
My spouse the most wonderful, my world is sunny.
Look at me! Look at me! Do you think I’m great?
I’m not quite sure, how do I rate?
Later I’d lament that all was not well,
What in the world was I trying to sell?
It was then that I learned as I worked with my coach,
That perhaps what I needed was an adjusted approach.
Be humble, speak the truth, understate, promise less,
This new way of thinking would be key to success.
As I shifted my focus and turned inward to grow,
I discovered the truth that I had longed to know.
I’m truly enough, just as I am, being me
No exaggeration necessary, WOW, I feel free!
