Vision Qwest Solutions

Welcome to Vision Qwest Solutions' new blog site. I first launched the original website in 2006. My tag line is "The journey begins with envisioning the possibilities". The tag line was lofty and befitting with the name for the site. I had a specific goal in mind - to provide a myriad of strategic HR consulting services to employers and employees in the areas of performance management, recruitment support, training solutions, organizational development, and vocational counseling. And as we all have to do in life from time-to-time is to re-focus. This is what the new site is all about; re-focusing, internalizing, understanding and embracing the alignment of self, as we reach the plateau of fulfillment in the workplace and its external and internal demands.

The revised site boasts a more grounded zen-like theme. It is my belief that there should be "zen" in the workplace which brings with it a peace of mind without the stress of wrestling with internal conflict and external stress created by cultures of negativity, lack of focus, poor management styles, and lack of cohesiveness in the work unit. There should also be “zen” within us. Who wants to be miserable at work? Who wants to be fitted into a square peg when we are round?

In addition, it is my desire with this new site to announce my expertise as Career Coach. And just as critical as the issues are in terms of employee engagement, just as importantly are the issues of “you”, the employees’ role is in determining how these attributes apply to you. Do you understand what the best career path to take given your inherent skills? This new site is about embracing the total "self" in our everyday workday activities and understanding how the implications of human dynamics in the workplace affect us positively and negatively and understanding the necessity to ponder this question as we begin our career initiatives or whether we need to consider a change. We all know that in today's economic climate, there is constant change. As circumstances do change, it is more important for us to understand and embrace these changes from the perspective of understanding self and understanding how these circumstances can impact us personally. "Knowledge is power".

It is my goal that knowledge gleaned from this site and my blog HR Zen that it will provide you with information to manage the negative and positive effects of your role in whatever work environment that you support, and ultimately strengthen your understanding of the positives so that you can affect changes for yourself and for your workplace.

The power of managing these circumstances enhances ones' ability to rise above them and facilitates the ability to be true to self ; “nosce te ipsum.

Since the launching of the original site, I have written a collection of poetry entitled "Voice From the Soul of Trees". And although I have had my share of life lessons, the book afforded me an opportunity to express my understanding of me, my understanding of people, perils, and understand my purpose in life - my journey, my road trip, and my mission. I cannot separate the two aspects - the personal and professional components of my life. (More about this later).

So, with this new site, I will still embrace the lofty goals of "envisioning the possibilities" with a more individualistic perspective - another level - helping each of us, whether as an employer or an employee, to understand what it means to embrace human dynamics, understand cultural dynamics, and what it means to understand you in your chosen professions thereby embracing the true you in the world of work - "total sum".
