You can’t fix what you don’t see, and sometimes even then the “problem” we identify is so large and amorphous that we can’t get our creative minds around it. I have always loved “mapping”, which is one of the reasons why @myyoumap has been such a natural fit for me. @careerkristin captured so well how YouMap breaks those indescribable feelings down in to sharpened awareness and actionable steps, something I’ve seen first hand this past month as I’ve started leading clients through YouMap coaching. Do you have a problem or feel stuck in a way that feels hard to define?
Inspired by @daphneinpdx. Would welcome your answers and thoughts below!
I love all four YouMap pillars (Strengths, Values, Skills, Interests) AND I particularly have a soft spot for the Skills section. Skills describe how you actually spend your time, what you DO during the day, and can be divided in to Motivating Skills and Burnout Skills. Ideally you're using 80% or more of your MS on a regular basis. Now. What's important to realize is that just because you're GOOD at something does not mean that you ENJOY it or want to spend much time on it. I think we confuse competency with true engagement and pleasure -- but they're totally separate variables. What are some things in your career that you're good at but which totally drain you and which you'd be happy to never have to do again. Tell me more below!
I used to verbally illustrate YouMap as a series of four lenses through which you could filter opportunities and create aligned paths for yourself until a client said, “no. Not lenses. Those feel outside of me. This is different. My YouMap has shown me my core.” BOOM. Sketch it.
Fear can fire you up or fence you in. You decide. (PS - check out my stories for the evolution of this sketch this morning.)
As we roll in to November I wanted to get super clear - for both you and for myself - about the pacing for the end of 2019. The short version: if you’d like a YouMap partnership in 2019, to really frame out the end of your year and get you nice and ready for career magic in the next decade, I’d encourage you to schedule a Discovery Call for next week (allegrastein.com/connect) especially if you’d like a deep dive YouMap month together. I don’t want our work to be carved up by end of year holiday madness so we either start by Nov 15 or wait until 2020. Now, if you’d prefer a laser sesh partnership over just one week, those can begin in to the first days of December and you have a bit more time to get your Discovery Call scheduled. And if you have no idea which is the best fit, but you’re curious to know more, that’s exactly what the Discovery Call is for. Connection, conversation, and assessing fit. Finally, I am having Calls now with people who are already looking in to January to get started — if you want to be sure of an early 2020 spot be sure to set up a time to chat sooner than later! Ready to explore? DM me or visit the ink above to set up a time. Questions? Thoughts? Ideas? As always, leave in the comments below!
