Keyser speaks at breakfast
Accept the change, work with
it, trust your instincts, and I think
that will give life the fullness that
we all want.”
That was one of the many
remarks Marilynne Keyser Depu
ty Secretary of State and wife of
college President John Keyser,
made concerning career transi
tion, the topic of the 80’s Issues
breakfast, Wednesday Feb. 10.
The issues breakfast, spon
sored by the “Focus on Women”
group, is an event that is held
every term.
Keyser spoke about changing
careers, basing her remarks on
her recent job change from ac
counting to state government,
and a career change 11 years ago
from community college teacher
to CPA (Certified Public Ac
countant).
The first career shift was from
Economics teacher at Western
Wyoming College to CPA at Ar
thur Andersen Accountant Com
pany in Portland.
“I wanted to prove I could be
successful in the business world,”
Keyser said about the change, “I
wanted to prove that I could
stand as a woman in a men’s
world and make it.”
The second change, from CPA
to Deputy Secretary of State, was
based on diferent motives. Keyser
explained that “now my needs
are different. I want to define my
personal values.”

Marilynne Keyser, Deputy Secretary of State, spoke at the
Feb. 10 issues breakfast.
Keyser expressed that there are
six change principles everybody
should go through. The first prin
ciple is that one ought to unders
tand the inmost needs and
desires. That can be done by
believing in and searching for
yourself.
One needs to validate prior
choices, and needs to develop a
positive attitude towards change
are the second and third beliefs.
Keyser pointed out that one
also should not be afraid to seek
help of others, and to follow in
stincts and listen to the inner
voice.
To let go of old stereotypes of
what women should and
shouldn’t do is the sixth princi
ple.
“We simply weren’t raised to be
risk takers. With brain work we
¡find ourselves continually faced
with needing to change,” Keyser
stated about the change prin
cipled.
Keyser talked about all her ex
periences in those areas, and
identified the fact that interper
sonal changes come back more
than once in your life time.
“Life is not really a linear pro
cess, we continually recycle back
through things to learn our
lesson,” Keyser summed Up.
