My non-profit (501(c)3) organization is doing important work in extremely poor communities in India, and we have plans for opening in Viet Nam in the future. In the last three years we have benefited from college students (from a dozen countries) volunteering between four months and a year of their time and talents to assist developing our programs. This causes me to contemplate how our programs would be enriched if we could tap the knowledge and skills of the retired community.

When we are on a firmer financial footing, I will be recruiting to fill full-time paid positions, but for the moment I would like to invite applications for volunteer positions lasting three or four months. Our winter and summer temperatures tend to be extreme, but Spring and Autumn are delightful.

Airfare from California to Delhi costs between $1,000 and $1,500, while bed and board is a modest $150 per month in Chandigarh.

We currently have an urgent need for mentors. Ideal candidates will have 15+ years of experience in a corporate setting, an intrinsic desire to share their experiences and the need to help others who are walking the same path they once took.

Numerous experts and studies agree that the workforce of 2010 and beyond will be the most diverse and integrated one. The aftershock of the 2008 economic fallout is being felt globally as leaders try to do more with less.

Technology can now connect leaders to new (1) people (2) communities and (3) knowledge sources in unprecedented ways 24/7. These connections can significantly improve the pace and quality of decision-making. The notion of relying solely on one’s own knowledge and resources to make better decisions is outdated.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the foundational competency every leader needs to grow. The most effective way to enhance your EQ is to learn from someone who has walked your path, over an extended period of time, in an emotionally safe environment. EQmentor unveils a powerful approach to making better decisions through mentoring and enhancing your EQ.

Boasting the industry’s most rigorous mentor certification and matching processes, a cross-industry community of professional collaboration, custom-built Web 2.0 technology and unique parameters of engagement, see why EQmentor is known as Green (7 times greener than a one-day offsite), Revolutionary, Results-oriented, Transformative, and the new generation in professional development.

We have a company called Renewal Coaching which is a global network of coaches in all industries who employ the Renewal Coaching perspective as they coach leaders, individuals and teams.

The role of the Renewal Coach is to support these people and organizations to go beyond efficiency and effectiveness.

We welcome the many talented people, from all industries, who wish to have a second career as a Renewal Coach.

Renewal Coaching is an approach to developing and supporting individuals and organizations as they accomplish extraordinary goals to achieve a greater good. The concept of Renewal Coaching is documented in our book: Renewal Coaching: Sustainable change for individuals and organizations (Jossey-Bass, 2009). Our premise is that sustainable change in work and life is not inspired solely by setting quarterly objectives and becoming more efficient and effective, but by motivating toward accomplishing something that transcends the self and creates a greater good in the world.

We've established a global network of coaches who we train and license in the Renewal Coaching approach. We also give extraordinary support to Renewal Coaches as they establish their coaching business, and to organizations that choose to license a cadre of Renewal Coaches to support leaders, individuals, teams, management in this approach. We believe that people who are ready for an encore career are prime candidates to be a Renewal Coach.

Well music is good. But I think there are more much important to put some attention. Nowadays we have to work for our own good.. We have to be flexible for varying situations, in order to keep our living. Are you familiar with Keli Goff?.. Keli Goff isn't the most high profile of authors, but many consider Keli Goff to be an authority. She is the author of Party Crashing, a book about African American youth culture, and how it declared itself separate and distinct. She also points out an unpleasant truth of social class in America, and how class determines accessibility to the American Dream. She points out that high school dropout rates have shot up, and it costs us more per year than the cash advances to AIG. It's over $100 million a year, and another student drops out every 30 seconds.
