Welcome!
How can you put the full force of your creativity, ideas, and passions to work?
What if you stopped making ‘worklife costume changes’? What if you didn’t feel like a different person when you’re on the job, at home, and looking for work?
Can you imagine workplaces that pay you well, don’t run you ragged, and energize you? Can you imagine working in abundance and not scarcity?
Ready to support one another as you do what you are meant to do… no matter what the Dow Jones or latest jobs’ report says?
Over the past several years, a series of economic, social, political and technological earthquakes have reshaped everything from Wall St. to Main St.—right down to the very ways that we live and work.
The Career Caretaker is dead. Your job, benefits, and retirement are no longer guaranteed, even in the short-term, as organizations across industry struggle to survive.
Yet, as the cracks in the old paradigm widen, space is opening up for you to flourish in the rapidly changing worklife landscape. Some call it the Freelancer Revolution, The E-conomy, or the Slash Career.
Call it what you like, but know that in order to thrive in the Creative Industrial Revolution, you need to join the Mobile Talent Market–a place of Self-Leaders and Career Entrepreneurs. That’s good news because it means you can shape a career and life that is more aligned with the full range of your gifts and interests.
But there is also challenging news: widespread support for this new way of work is not yet in place and organizations are asking for more and offering less–workaholic culture, less pay, fewer benefits, less loyalty, and sudden job elimination. Together we can build the infrastructure of the next economic age. In fact, it’s imperative that we do so immediately.
It’s up to each of us to shape both our workplace and our worklife.
At 21st Century Worklife, we’re here to support you in fully contributing your unique talents and vision and making your mark on the world. We help you to take your skills, experience, and strengths along with your anxiety, confusion, and resistance to become a self-directed, community-building Change Maker in your life and in others.
While the role of Change Makers now falls to each of us, most companies have yet to get the memo and instead are using obsolete operating structures and tools. Yes, some sprinkle in a healthy dash of the new but that does not a new workplace make!
WE are the workplace of the future. YOU are the workplace of the future. Let’s get cracking!
How We Can Help
You’ve had the wakeup call in the form of job loss, insecurity about retirement, a house worth half what you paid, fear of another economic catastrophe, and/or feeling trapped in an uncaring workplace. Now here is your roadmap to not only help you dig out of the earthquake and survive, but to thrive, knowing who you are (and are not). While you’re at it, learn how you can contribute your maximum and change the face of the American Workplace.
The 21 Century Worklife Website is the place to:
- Change your Workplace
- Change your Worklife
- Explore the new worklife language (The 21st Century Lexicon) and see how it may apply to you
- Learn more about the founders of this movement. (Who are we anyway?)
- See how we can work together–learn about our Services and what people have said about us. (Testimonials)
- Read about other great thinkers (Folks We Love) and check out their sites, watch some videos, and listen to some audio.
