Glad You Are Here

Hi,

How’s it going for you? We all want to wake up inspired, have meaningful work, have our gifts well used, and find the joy of contributing to something beyond just our wallets. My life’s work is delightfully absorbed in How? including the privilege of helping professionals find their sweet spots of Passion meets Profit. It started when I was a new coach, with some trepidation about “Do what you love the money will follow” (i.e. uuh, what if my client loves poetry from the 14th century, will that really pay his mortgage?) and has developed over the years into a rich process of “treasure hunting” for your gifts, and opening up new doors on many levels that typical career strategies do not. Join us May 23 to learn more (see below).

Videos to inspire:

• I Googled “Sweet spots” to see what I might find- got choked up finding this one- about how creative, resourceful people- no doubt following an inspired calling- have created joy and beauty in the poorest country. If they can do this, we can all create sweeter spots amidst whatever challenges we may face. My friend is on an inspired trip to the Congo (a place no tourist travels to). He was on my couch, and this 60 minutes just happened to come on! It moved him to tears and I marveled at the synchronicity of that moment. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504803_162-57410244-10391709/producer-finds-musical-sweet-spot-in-the-congo/

• Relevant to professional Sweet Spots: Little gem from Lance Secretan about strengths vs. weaknesses, true gifts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=DcY-ArPDZxg ?

Apply this to yourself, not just people who report to you. How might you be wishing for a weakness to improve, when your energy could actually be better invested in emphasizing strengths?
