It's Monday ... Are you reading this from a job that doesn't fulfill you??
When I work with clients seeking a more meaningful career... I first ask them two questions:
#1: What do you LOVE to do? and #2: What are you GREAT at?
This episode of Whole U.® Book Review features a best-seller that enhanced my career significantly. Whereas in the past, I focused on trying to improve what I was lacking . . . after reading StrengthsFinder 2.0, I identified, and started to leverage my top 5 strengths - which include:
- Empathy
- Positivity, and
- Developing others
(Traits which I never even recognized as being "strengths"!) With new-found confidence in my strengths, I risked leaving my salaried position at MIT to pursue my own venture. That was in 2013. (And now, I'm ranked on Yelp as #1 Career Coach in Boston, and have helped clients all over the world to pursue their life's work.)
So . . . You want to find work you LOVE?? What are YOU great at...?
