Poem on a bookmark
“No one listens,” they tell me and so I listen and I tell them what they have just told meAnd I sit in silence listening to them letting them grieve“Julian, you are wise”They say, “You have been gifted with understanding”All I did was listenFor I believe freely, surely, that G-d’s spirit is in us all• Julian of Norwich, 14th C. English mystic
(from book, Purposeful Listening)

The role of a career counselor
• Re-defining the “good-enough” career counselor
• Our need to be techno-savvy, problem solvers within tight time/budget constraints
• Old questions vs non- answers

Guiding clients to answer their own questions
• We do not have the answers, may have the questions
• However, we can be guides
• Silence, listening and accessing inner wisdom- needed by both client and counselor

Defining the essential ingredients
• Purpose: An understanding that accessing the authentic but perhaps hidden self will tap into spiritual energy and clarity
• Listening with an open mind, body and heart--without judgment, an agenda or possibly answers
