Creating Career Flow States

I recently spoke with the Human Resources Director of a company. She is also Director of an HR consulting group. She was interested in me speaking on career mojo and employee engagement at a workshop in Silicon Valley. She specifically wanted to know how I worked with coaching clients and organizations to tap into people’s intrinsic motivation and enhance career development and engagement.

The HR Director and I spoke about my approach to executive/career coaching, and the factors that can tap into employees’ mojo or positive spirit. We spoke about the concept of flow and my work helping leaders create a culture where flow and happiness creates full engagement.

The Human Resource Director is interested in me speaking at a workshop about my executive/career clients that have created a clear work/life purpose and are happy at work. We further discussed how organizational leaders can benefit by working with a seasoned executive coach to enhance their mojo and create meaningful work.

Defining Mojo

Historically and culturally, the word “mojo” has been associated with witchcraft and voodoo—specifically, the ability to cast spells. Over the years, it has become urban slang for personal power, magnetism and charisma.

In business speak today, mojo refers to the moment we do something purposeful and powerful — an act lauded by others. In sports, business and politics, the term has evolved to describe a sense of positive direction.

For some, mojo represents personal advancement: moving forward, making progress, achieving goals, clearing hurdles, passing the competition — and doing so with increasing ease. What you’re doing matters, and you enjoy it. Star athletes call this being “in the zone.” Others describe it as “flow.”

Mojo plays a vital role in our pursuit of happiness and meaning, as it involves achieving two simple goals: loving what you do and showing it.

Are you working in a company or law firm where executive coaches are hired to provide career and leadership development for organizational leaders? Does your company or law firm provide leadership coaching to help leaders ignite their career mojo? During hard economic times, leaders at all levels need to improve their emotional intelligence and social intelligence skills as part of overall career development.

One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is “Am I energized by my career mojo?” Emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent organizations provide executive coaching and career development for leaders who want to tap into their career mojo and be fully engaged at work.

Working with a seasoned executive/career coach trained in emotional intelligence and incorporating assessments such as the Bar-On EQ-i can help your leaders tap into their intrinsic motivation and career mojo and create happy companies. You can become a leader who models emotional intelligence and social intelligence, and who inspires people to become fully engaged with the vision, mission and strategy of your company or law firm.
