There are three categories to work through in order to find authentic work that inspires you.  First, discover Who you truly are; you were born with just the right talents and gifts to live out your purpose.  Through self-acknowledgment you’ll develop self-love and a willingness to see your own greatness.  Next, we’ll look at What activities and pursuits align with your purpose, your Spirit.  This phase includes  a plan for When and Where.   In the final phase we answer the question of How.  Let’s face it, we are hypnotized into uninspired, endless, and constant action.  We are the masters of DOING and society places little value on BEING.  Therefore, it will take patience to hold off for the appropriate action steps and it’s well worth it.  You must begin with a deep understanding of yourself in order to create not just work that you love but a lifestyle that suits you as well.  What makes you come alive flows from there and once you know what you’ll do, the how or action step are obvious.

Who: Discovering Your Self

  • Life patterns and scripts are uncovered through writing your Life Story

  • Uncover your life purpose, passions, and priorities
  • Conquer your self-imposed obstacles and fears

What: Discovering What Makes You Come Alive

  • Learn to follow your intuition and be more creative
  • Harness your gifts and talent so you’ll love the work you do
  • Design a vision for your whole life – live the lifestyle you want

How: Planning and Action

  • Create clear, individualized success strategies for business and life
  • Develop goal planning skills so the goals you design are achievable and meaningful
  • Experience the accountability, structure and direction needed to follow-through and sustain success
  • Learn to access risk and reality so you can always move forward

This process is not for everyone as it takes a serious commitment to put yourself and your needs first over a six to nine month period of time.  It will require you to say, “No” to the many distractions that will arise, and this can be uncomfortable for some.  We can talk about how to handle these situations in an appropriate manner as we begin prioritizing YOU.

In order to get the full benefit of working together, there is always homework in between our sessions so you will need space and time in your life to complete your assignments.  Also, writing in a journal while we’re working together will yield dividends in the end and move things along much faster so I highly recommend carving out the time on a daily basis, if possible.

If you have tried and failed to find fulfilling, meaningful work all your life, it is likely because you’ve been trying to follow the logic of your mind while well-meaning folks around you have encouraged in this regard.  This will never give you the answer that brings you alive because, your mind is not designed to function that way.  By tapping into the wisdom of your soul/spirit, you will come to a new understanding and appreciation of your uniqueness.  Tuning into and following your inner wisdom is the ONLY way you will find your true calling in life.
