Greetings
to you and welcome to my 'being
yourself for a living' newsletter.
In it this issue:

Journey to the Core An exciting new television series called Journey to the Core begins tonight, Wednesday 11 March 2009, on SABC 3 at 21h30. It features input from various 'wisdom keepers', including me in a number of episodes. Visit their site for programme info and contributor profiles here. ______________________________
Zooming in on Men That interview I mentioned last time did not screen as planned, owing to SABC's policy of complete chaos(!), but it is quite likely to go out this Sunday 15 March 2009, or next Sunday 22, at 14h30 on SABC 3. They interviewed me about balance. ______________________________
New Book: FURTHER INSIGHTS My new book is set for release towards the end of April 2009. It is a follow up to INSIGHTS:

Employment tables have turned by Robin Wheeler Most people approach new
jobs with a feeling of deep-rooted inadequacy. You
submit to employers who arrogantly regard themselves as the powerful
party in
the interview. They see it as their
place to assess your potential to meet their needs.
Then they take advantage of you for profit, blocking your natural
talents and
urge to flourish. Every person and company
has idiosyncrasies and with a little wisdom you
can live with and even enjoy these. But if your employer is arrogant,
they are
not wise and you are not wise to work for them. I encourage you to
approach jobs with the self-confidence you deserve. The
tables have turned and it has become the responsibility of employers to
make
themselves appealing to you. It is their business to
be somewhere that someone of your value wants to
work. They need to offer opportunities for you to manifest your
potential. Do
not be fooled into seeing it otherwise. You need not become
arrogant in return, just be real. Authenticity is
inherently intelligent and of increasing worth in the awakening market.
You are unique and of
value to the world. You deserve to be happy and
fulfilled, and to self-actualise through your work. A career is not a
compromise, now or ever, so do not settle for one that does not truly
excite
you. How can the world be the
wrong place for you? You may be out of
alignment, which feels wrong, but you should be living your dreams and
doing
what you love for a living. Does the employer offer the opportunity to
do that? If not, let it pass and
choose one that does. Be on the lookout for misuse
of the subtlest kind. Tune in to how you feel in the interview and
working
environment and trust that. Do not go against yourself. Choose business
relationships that impress you. Be impressive. If that
means starting your own business, face the facts and do it. You can. The truth is that there
is less talent than there is need for it, and you
have the upper hand in the market. It is easy to find a hopeless soul
to plug
into a corporate machine but someone discerning and innovative is a
prize. Your particular offering
is one of a kind and there is a perfect place
for you to explore, express and share it. You need to find that place
and, more
important, you need to continually create it. Do some soul searching,
tap into your deepest inspiration, and then
build your brand from within. Power is a few insights and some
courageous
action away. Do what you love for the
love of it. Satisfaction is built into what you
are good at and enjoy. Be of service from a position of inspired
resourcefulness. People will seek you out and money will follow. Be happy and whole and
live the life you choose. Invest enthusiastically
in yourself and your relationships with people and the world as a
whole, and
everything will go increasingly well for you. Align yourself with
universal intelligence so that it may work through
you uninhibited. Find the combined confidence and humility that come
from being
true to yourself. Clear your inner
landscape of self limiting assumptions sold to you by
school and society. Awaken spiritually and allow the whole to take its
natural course. Empower yourself and be
yourself for a living. It will grow your brand,
benefit your employers and change the world. Robin Wheeler is a
