A Career That Fits You
This course is meant to create an ideal career for you by researching your purpose. Whether you transform your current career or launch into a new one, you will do so by understanding yourself better. Your purpose is not meant for just one type of career. Once you understand your purpose, you can apply it to a variety of careers and volunteer opportunities.
People who take this course are able to utilize skills at work they never knew they had. By displaying a wider range of their skills, one of two things happen: either their current supervisor or boss allows them to move into a better job or new opportunities come from a different company. The heightened self-esteem that naturally results from this course has caused some employees to start their own business.
Content and Overview
We find your purpose through research. I ask you to delve into personal recollections from both your past and present to view yourself through the filters of the 8 characteristics of purpose.
To help you with this process, the video segments not only include my description of each of the 8 characteristics, but you'll also see interviews of 8 of my clients who've discovered these characteristics in their lives. They will each explain how they found at least one of their elements of purpose through one of the characteristics.
The 8 Characteristics of Purpose are built around practical definitions that are simple to identify. With my explanation as well as the 8 interviews, you'll be able to make the connection to examples in your life.
Once you've identified your 13 Elements of Purpose, you can apply them to your career so that those who matter the most can see you at your best.
Who this course is for:
- This is an exploratory course for people who are not satisfied at work and want to know why and what they can do about it. If you love your job or business, then this course is *not* for you!
Instructor
I spent 15 years in careers that were only mildly satisfying, mostly because they only partially utilized my skills. I got so motivated by this that I wanted to help others leave lackluster jobs for careers that expressed their purpose. I knew that first we had to identify their purpose, thus Instinctive Life was born: a research-based program to identify and apply your purpose to create a career that gives you a chance to use what you do best.
