A Globe & Mail Columnist

As of tomorrow, I will officially be able to call myself a columnist for the Globe and Mail.

I will writing a column for the Globe and Mail in the Careers section every second Wednesday about my experiences with One Week Job and what I am learning throughout the journey.

I am excited about the opportunity as it gives me another way to share what I am learning to a broad audience. Also, because it forces me to stop and think about what I am taking away from the experience. I have found that it can easily become distracting getting caught up with everything, that I don’t take the time to reflect on what I am learning.

My first column comes out in the Careers Section of tomorrows paper, Wednesday, June 13.

Pick up a copy and let me know what you think!

    Your G&M article was excellent – and the quote you nade about your father was particularly poignant. I made a link to your website through my blog http://choicelearning.blogspot.com/
    I write a lot about (and work in) open learning opportunities – and your path of personal choice fits so well into the future of learning and of work. You are a trailblazer and I trust you will learn how to savour the moment the now, by not second guessing the past or worrying about the future.

    I saw the article in the Globe, and have to admit that this is definitely an interesting concept.

    Cheers to this, and good luck with it.

    As a past journalist, the article definitely caught my attention for what it entailed. It’s hard to get the “I” articles out there, and you did so well!

    Hi Sean,

    Last weekend I met your friend Rob and heard about your meaningfully, fun experiment for good. As a past career counsellor I feel impressed with your strategy to learn about your self, passions and strengths while raising money to end poverty. You put Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s adventures in The Simple Life to shame.

    You have now been added to my Canadian youth heros along with my webmaster Dan Moraru; singer and songwriter, Jenn Beaupre; and poverty warriors, Craig and Marc Kielberger.

    With smiling appreciation, Patricia Morgan, Author, Speaker and Counsellor.
