Podcast 44: Cathy and Gary Hawk-”Creating the Rest of Your Life”

I first met Gary Hawk many years ago in San Diego when he was involved in the development of a program called the, “Inner Circle.” Gary is a wonderfully gifted facilitator helping CEO’s and top executives transform their organizations into more effective and efficient operations. Gary had lots of prior experience having held top executive positions of leadership in major national corporations.

A few years back Gary’s life took an interesting shift when he met his new wife Cathy. Cathy is the founder of, “Clarity International“, an organization who’s focus is the development of personal and professional vision. Cathy is a pioneer in the field of energy coaching, and has the first trademarked interview system based on chakras. She refers to the process as “Lights on Learning Method”. When the two of them teamed up with their unique talents, they brought to the world a unique partnership focusing on helping people transform their lives for success.

Our podcast focuses on their new book entitled, “Creating the Rest of Your Life, An Atlas for Manifesting Success & Excellence in Life & Work“, which is a combination book and guide to helping individuals manifest success and excellence in their life and work. They use a very interesting graphic in the book called a “journey map”. This journey map helps guide you on a path to living you life with your “lights on” as Gary and Cathy refer to it. There are 27 different points of reflection and insight along the way, all focused on helping you gain clarity about yourself and where you want to go.

I love a quote they have used in the book in the first chapter from Elisabeth Kubler-Ross “People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within”. Gary and Cathy will truly help you see the light within.

Please enjoy this wonderful interview with Gary and Cathy as we explore their new book, and how setting out on a path of clarity, focus, purpose and intention will help you become your authentic self.

Do you know what motivates you, or what your ideal work environment would be? In my interview with Dr. Barbara Moses author of, “What Next?-Finding the Work That is Right for You,” we explore the issues that could be holding you back from finding the work you love. Dr. Moses is a highly acclaimed career counselor and her books and career profiles have been used by millions of people to match them to their perfect career. In Dr. Moses’ comprehensive guide she provides self assessment tools and career advice for anyone wishing to explore a new path.

It does not matter if you are a Baby Boomer or a Generation X’er. My interview with Dr. Moses focuses on the issues of how anyone can find more meaningful work. We talk about skills and competencies necessary in the workplace of today, but we also explore the importance that all generations are placing on having more meaningful and fulfilling work. Dr. Moses helps people through a series of profiles, questions and self assessment tools to find the right work suited to match their unique personality and skills.

I was reading a recent statistic that said that our younger generation of workers will most likely have 13-15 different jobs in their lifetime. This is quite the contrast to the traditionalists and “Baby Boomers” who were conditioned to keep their jobs and not make many job changes. We live in a changing world and a fascinating work environment. Dr. Moses will provide you with the tools and assessments that make this new and ever changing work world not so daunting.
