Free High School Summit for Education Planning
My friends at March Consulting have created a totally free online virtual event called The Ultimate Guide to College. In this 7-day summit experience that starts this Thursday, September 22, the March Consulting team will be interviewing 15 experts (including me!) in their various fields of work that will leave you with a better understanding of today’s current college landscape, and a career beyond! Please forward this email to friends and family who may benefit.
Topics include: College Admissions, STEM, testing, financial aid, performing arts, athletics, and careers.
Be sure to watch my interview on September 28th, where I will be discussing how to make good educational and career decisions saving time, money and heartache. Your future is in your hands! I give a shout out to all levels of education, including apprenticeships!
This summit is an excellent opportunity for a wide range of students (and parents) to be exposed to different options for their future in an informative, fun, casual, and distanced environment. I so encourage anyone wanting to catch up with what I’m doing, or even just what these trends are looking like currently to check it out!
It is FREE OF CHARGE, (all you have to do is register here): https://www.theultimateguidetocollege.com/
Check out this amazing new program, innovatively created for pandemic times!

Don’t Quarantine Your Career – Video Version
I wrote an article early in the pandemic about suggestions on how to take action even when you think there isn’t much you can do during difficult economic times. I was pleased to present a mini-program about this at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Career Expo on August 20. Whether you are unemployed or simply unhappy in your current role, this high-energy video with props will give you some ideas.
The first half is the program and the second half is a practical Q & A. For a (slightly less fun) reading version of the program, click here for my earlier blog post.
I’ve been invited to be the featured program presenter for another Post-Gazette Career Expo:
Reinventing Yourself during Pandemic Times
Thursday, October 22, 11:00 – 11:15 AM
This will be relevant to both unemployed folks whose industries were impacted by the pandemic job market and employed folks who are considering a career change due to pandemic re-evaluation.
Pandemic Work Wonderings
I wait and wonder
For those who are furloughed
Will I go back? Should I look?
How I ache for the familiar that I took for granted
Even the parts I hated.
I wait and wonder
For those whose jobs may be insecure
Am I next?
In the meantime, I feel guilty as a survivor
Even if I don’t like my job.
I wait and wonder
For those whose jobs have ended
What can I find in these turbulent times?
I’m not sure where I fit and what to do.
Even if I’m motivated.
I wait and wonder
For those who have been unhappy
How can I change now?
Maybe I better just hang on
Even if I’m beyond ready.
I wait and wonder
For those who are happily employed.
How can I process this turmoil?
I feel privileged as well as overworked
Even as I feel grateful.
I wait and wonder
For those essential workers on the front line
How long can I do this?
It is taking its toll
Even as I know it is important work.
I wait and wonder
For those who own small businesses
Will I need to close my doors?
I can’t bear to face lost dreams and lost faces
Even if I worked more than I wanted.
I wait and wonder
For those working at home with children
How can I do justice to both jobs?
I feel like I’m not doing enough
Even when I’m doing my best.
May you rise up to self-awareness and self-care.
May you rise up to learning and loving.
May you rise up to hope and help.
May you rise up to compassion and courage.
You are not alone.
