Speaker: Nancy Franz, Transitions Career Coaching
Nancy lead her presentation with an interactive roundtable of what “God’s grace” means to you and how God’s grace shows itself in your daily work.

1) Ownership — Are you fully engaged? Are you able to follow your fire of curiosity?
2) Matters — Do you feel that what you do matters, and is connected to something bigger?
3) Rewarding — Is what you do rewarding for you (i.e. financially rewarding, etc.)?
4) Learning — Are you able to continue growing as a person? Are you stimulated?
5) Relied Upon — Do others count on you? Are you the expert others turn to for answers?
Nancy has been a Career Coach for the past 12 years working with hundreds of clients who have successfully found their life’s work. Nancy is a life long learner with a love and focus on human development, behavior, and the human spirit. For the last 27 years Nancy has dedicated herself to deep spiritual study.
