This bio reflects all that I've been led to do in my life to this point. Specifically, I have over 30 years experience with middle, high school, college students, and adults. A recent addition to my work is a Family Career Developing approach using the New Careering, and I've written four books on that topic (See below). I've taught career development in many universities including Johns Hopkins, University of Southern California, (UCSD), Los Angeles, and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). I am the founder and President of The New Careering Institute, Inc., at the Domes and, I do special presentations around the country and recently in Norway. I have a private practice (both local and by phone). In addition, three more books are writing themselves in my head and I've set them up on my computer.

Finally, I'm a Webmaster and the learning in that area is endless. So, I stay busy; I love and enjoy life, however, I set intentions and then cooperate with the approaching forces of life, which suggests I LIVE the New Careering; I don't just talk about it. The New Careering gives the highest priority to intentions, but not to the exclusion of goals. But intentions don't have end dates as they are woven into life. My goals are simple and ongoing: Love, forgiveness compassion, and happiness. I have tried to be faithful to my gifts which means I've lived my destiny full out. My greatest joy is my relationship with David Tiedeman, my exquisite colleague, and husband. He passed in Setpember 2004, but the relationship remains strong, only the form passed. I also enjoy relationships with family and friends. Below is a condensed version of my accomplishments.

AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE

...an ending I've liked in the books I've written. So I decided to do one for my Bio as it illustrates the up and down side of living career as process, the idea I introduced in 1982. Creation is always a process of integrating ideas from many disciplines in order to see a new way. But I wanted to do something that would go to what I consider the bone of career development—treating your life as your career, not just intellectually but experientially and listening to the inner messages. With that in mind I wrote the following in 2001 which I doubt will be updated because it represents how life is for me:

It's been a great life. Some things have worked, others have failed miserably. Some learnings felt painful, others just a nuisance. Each taught me something important. The biblical Paul said something like,"I have run the race and kept the faith." In the end, that has mattered most to me because it supported my struggle to be faithful to my gifts. So, I bow to Life and my destiny, its goodness, and its patterned integrity.
