“Your life mirrors what you put into it or withhold from it. When you are lazy, it is lazy. When you hold back, it holds back. When you hesitate, it stands there staring, hands in its pockets. But when you commit, it comes on like blazes.”

Do you have a Vocation Vision?
A Vocation is defined as:
- A strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation.
- A person’s employment or main occupation, especially regarded as particularly worthy and requiring great dedication
- A trade or profession.
- Your vocation is your calling, life’s work, mission, or purpose.
We can use these terms interchangeably to describe what you’re in search of. Essentially, it is who you are and what you do – whether you actually get paid for it or not. It is how you show up in the world and contribute to the lives of others. Transitions Coaching Services, LLC has a variety of programs, resources, strategies, and tools to help you define, create, and refine your vocation as it relates to your career, profession, job search, or everyday life.
