What a coincidence
Mark Hehl presented a content packed speech at the SNEC-PMI monthly chapter meeting last night. His topic was "How to become a successful independent consultant". Mark shared with us how he attended a workshop about 30 years ago and the idea of being an independent consultant stuck with him, until he acted on his idea in 2002 and left the corporate world. Coincidentally, many of our audience members are considering becoming independent consultants in the current economy.
As Director of Marketing for SNEC-PMI, I had the pleasure of talking with the State Director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) - Ginne-Rae Clay. We discussed ways that SNEC-PMI and SBDC can work together in the future and bring project managers together with small business owners. Such interaction will benefit both the project managers and small business owners for a win/win outcome.
This is a particularly promising partnership, because so many project managers are currently out of work and looking for ways to apply their project management professional skills in service of our communities. Coincidentally, the SBDC presents workshops on similar topics as Mark's presentation last night.
Coincidentally, the new SNEC-PMI vision is "Making Southern New England better through project management". Here are three coincidences in one evening.
I am sitting in Bradley International airport today, waiting for a flight to Atlanta, and then on to South Africa. I enjoyed the SNEC-PMI chapter meeting last night, and will be speaking to project managers in South Africa in November. Was it destiny, or coincidence that a ex-South African would find himself in a meeting where the universe was clearly showing a path to growing my global, independent consulting business?
Look around your life. What would you see if you believed that "There are no coincidences in life"?
How will you act, and which opportunities will you embrace if you believe that there are no coincidences in your life. Is the universe trying to show you your destiny? What do you simply need to open yourself to, in order to follow your path and fulfill your purpose? Or is it just a coincidence that you are reading this blog posting? I think not.
