How two conversations and a questionnaire shifted what was possible.
I’m working with a client who was recently laid off.
She had recently taken the Clifton Strengths assessment but wasn’t sure exactly what to do with it.
I had her take a free Enneagram test and then gave her the details on what her Enneagram # meant, and she said it described her well.
—> One of the things I mentioned in some of our first messages was to avoid jumping back into her previous work. Take this time to take a longer-term and higher-level view of where she wants to go and what she wants to do.
After our first conversation, she mentioned a couple of ideas in areas of interest to her. One was art/painting/teaching, and the other was personal training.
𝗪𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲:
- What’s the biggest obstacle holding you back? - What’s your ideal outcome? - What would you teach a course on? - What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
During our 2nd call, we reviewed the answers to these questions, plus some of the others, and it became clear that her ultimate goal was to become a 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻.
This COMPLETELY energized me because we’d found what she really wanted to do.
—> Now, we can create a roadmap to get her there.
• I immediately put her in touch with a Health and Wellness coach I know. • I also gave her a few others to follow on LI. • I can help her refine her LI profile, start building her network, start thinking about creating content in this space, and learn what building an online business is like. • She can find a bridge job in the interim while she completes some more formal education/training around this new business endeavor, all the while continuing to build her online presence and network for future clients for her to serve.
—> 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 - to help people make these types of changes and start doing what they were meant to do.
If you want to start the process and begin finding work that means something to you, DM me “𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲” or book a free discovery call to see what possibilities are out there for you.
Change your Approach. Change your Outcome.
