Tell me about a time when you felt like you were in a state of "flow" at work or school. Seriously!
I'm sure you're not going to message me about this anytime soon. Here's why:
We've been trained to ignore the art in our souls and focus on being "productive". In your life, this may look like:
→Keeping your head "down" and just getting your work done
→Not sharing your opinions at work and "going along to get along"
→Sticking with the status quo because the "nail that sticks out gets hammered down"
But what does this lead to in work and life?
→Less motivation at work or school
→A sense of "drifting" and a lack of purpose
→A longing for meaningful work that expresses who you really are
There is a better way.
Imagine a life in which you enjoyed your work. The things you are learning about feel meaningful. You go long periods working on projects that are fueled by the creativity and insights you've gathered throughout your life.
This is possible! Gay Hendricks calls it your Zone of Genius. Mike Michalowicz calls it your Queen Bee Role.
It's the thing you do better than anyone and no one else can do for you.
And it's what people are looking for from you.
I've been focused on living in my Zone of Genius for the last four years ever since I left work as a Special Education teacher to start working as a coach.
In my work as a coach, I've led or co-led founding three successful businesses in less than four years (EF Specialists, EFCA, and UpSkill Specialists).
