Are you committed to your job fulfillment? Are you making a difference?

Have you read the news on Jaime Escalante’s cancer? This is the teacher that inspired the ‘Stand and Deliver’s’ movie. His strong belief on his students’ potential as well as his undefeatable commitment towards his vision generated such a difference in the school in which he taught calculus that the passing rate went from zero to a noticeable higher than Beverly Hill High.


He made the conscious choice of not just doing a job but taking actions to fulfill his vision. His students and the community he belonged to connected to him once he led by example. He did not wait for the school system to change but he generated the change.

What about you? What changes are you 'waiting for'? There are so many reasons not to be happy at work. It may be you are not connected to your company, managers and co-workers but most importantly, are you connected to your own vision and what it takes to get there?

I have a client who jumped from one job after another feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied at every company she worked for. Once we explored into her inexistent Vision she actually discovered her need for one and we worked together in putting an inspiring vision to guide her through her career development. She re-gained a sense of her ‘wants’ beyond her ‘needs’ and after this realization she was able to stay long enough in a job to grow and get closer to her destination. Was she into her ideal job? Was her manager the best one in class? I don’t think so. But once she had clarity on what she wanted and needed to go through in order to get there, then her whole career took a whole different meaning. It was her choice to grab that career driving wheel.

It was Jaime Escalante’s choice to go beyond the Latino stereotyping proving himself beyond any self-given boundaries and breaking any limitation given to a Bolivian immigrant in the USA.

He now needs our help to help paying for his treatment. He is an icon to the Latino that have come to this country to make a better living adding value to society and generating a significant change in that journey.
