I can not express how much Mindful Choices has helped me. I was at a crossroads in both my…read moreprofessional and personal life when I sought out coaching from Angela. I felt sad and discouraged about my career and was looking for a change but was uncertain what it was I even wanted to change. It took a toll on my personal life and in-turn my relationships. I felt I was not living to my full potential. I felt so lost it seemed I could never find the ambitious go-getter I once was. I started to accept this as a new way of life. Angela created a safe environment; she listened and validated my feelings. Angela posed thought-provoking questions that helped me consider my own beliefs and values and how I could incorporate those into my career. She helped me realize the necessary steps I would need to take to implement the changes we had discussed. After lots of hard work, answering questions that inspired insight and soulsearching, I was able to start taking action and work towards my dreams. I have recently started working on my Master's degree. My career options have opened up, and I am thinking in a way I had never imagined before. I once again feel I have a purpose and am excited about the possibilities of exploring a career that aligns with what I value most in life. With all certainty, I could not have achieved the level of insight needed to evoke such a positive change in my life without Angela. I am forever grateful for the guidance and support I received during my coaching sessions and would highly recommend life coaching with Angela at Mindful Choices. -JB

I'm a huge proponent of volunteering. Whether it's a one-off event or a steady, long term…read morecommitment to a specific organization, I believe that volunteering in any capacity is a rewarding and enriching experience. However, I find that a lot of people approach it from the standpoint of "unpaid work"; simply building up your resume and accumulating hours towards a specific career path. I think that sometimes people forget that it is possible to gear your volunteer hours towards your own interests. There is nothing that says that you can't have a kick ass time while gaining some valuable and marketable experience. All you really have to do is find something that jives with your passions, and a great way to do that is by going to Volunteer Calgary. So far, my experience with Volunteer Calgary has been limited to their website, but that's due to the fact that I've never felt the need to contact their offices; they make finding volunteer opportunities in Calgary and area literally as easy as a click of the mouse. Simply hit the large "Volunteer Opportunities" button on their homepage, and you're connected to a database where you can search openings at specific organizations, by area of interest, or by type of organization. These searches can be further broken down by age group, location, and level of commitment, etc. It's a great way to get information about what's going on in your community, as well as to connect with specific activities that suit your needs and desires. Once you find a posting that speaks to you - and they say a lot - just apply to the particulars in the "Contact" section and wait for someone to get back to you; simple as that. And don't forget that that's only one facet of this nonprofit; Volunteer Calgary also runs a number of different programs and works in conjunction with a vast network of member organizations. Check them out for their resource library, and leadership opportunities too!
