- Retirement
- Job Loss (unfortunately, huge in the state of Michigan)
- Disasters (fire, tornado, hurricane, flood, ice, black out, etc.)
- Change in family status (birth, death, marriage, divorce, etc.)
- Relocation
Have you planned for these events?
I recently have talked to many people whose jobs are on the line due
to companies relocating or the economic climate. What I hear people say
is, “I can’t believe they’re doing this to me!”
I know it’s not easy to change your mindset, but people have to
be responsible for themselves and be prepared for these kind of situations.
If you intend to be employed, you need to make sure that you’re
employable. Make sure that someone else wants and needs your skills and
experience. It’s important to continue your education and improve
your skills. Having a resume at all times is also important. It may not
be 100% up to date, but if you have something to start with, you’re
that much further ahead. It’s also important to develop and maintain
contacts inside and outside of your organization. Again, it makes it that
much easier when you find yourself looking for another position.
At the Red Cross, we say: “Get a Kit, Make a Plan, Be Prepared."
I would challenge you to get prepared or better prepared for at least
one possible event in your life. Here’s the challenge:
- Identify the event (job change, marriage, tornado, etc.)
- Make a list, identify the first 5 – 10 things you need to do.
- Gather the items or information you need to have on hand.
- Share the information with your family, co-workers or whomever is appropriate.
- Keep plan readily available or in a safe place.
- Review periodically.

Sports Spouses - The Challenge of Being a Coach's Wife
Being a coach’s wife takes a special person. You automatically become the CEO of your household and family. You are the “glue” that holds it all together. When it’s time to move, you make all the arrangements. When it comes to dealing with the kids issues at school, you deal with the teachers. When it comes to soothing your spouse’s bruised ego after a loss, you’re the one who’s there for them.
When recently working with a group of coaches’ wives and asking the top three to five challenges of being a coach’s wife, the number one reason was loneliness followed by work/life balance, limited family time, lack of communication and dealing with change. Sound familiar?
Being a coach’s wife may be fulfilling enough for some women, but not for others. That certainly doesn’t mean that they don’t love their husbands or that they’re not supportive. It may just mean that they also need to be fulfilled as a person themselves. By working with a coach, women would have an opportunity to find out what it is that fulfills them. In addition, they can share experiences and build camaraderie.
Coaching is an opportunity for the wives to identify their own goals and issues, develop a plan for obtaining them and be held accountable.
