What would your YouMap tell you about you? All. This. Good. Stuff.

And not only these individual parts, but how they work together -- that's where it gets SUPER fascinsting and impactful.

Sketched these after a trial-run-walk-the-talk Strengths debrief with a friend today. As insightful as discovering what your strengths are is uncovering how they work TOGETHER to create these cool Strength combination hybrids.

Also eye opening was the realization that the Strengths pillar - already so robust - is one of FOUR that you’re going to dive in to - the others being your values, interests, and skills.

These YouMap partnerships that start in October are going to be mega self-awareness bombs (of the best kind) that are going to arm you with soooooo much insight and confidence as you take action. Remember - YouMaps are as #actionable as they are #intuitive and #holisitc. So good. (Thinking you might want one? DM me or comment below!)

Yesterday was my fifth YouMap class and I continue to get more and more excited about integrating this framework in to my coaching practice and bringing it to YOU.

What really sets @myyoumap apart from others, as made clear by my teacher @careerkristin, is that YouMap is holistic, intuitive, and actionable.

HOLISTIC because it gives such a comprehensive, well rounded look at you as an individual, integrating your strengths, values, skills and interests into one synthesized whole.

INTUITIVE because it all comes from within YOU. When we dive in to your results everything makes perfect sense - there is suddenly language and awareness around what you already know about yourself but simply haven’t been able to see clearly before.

ACTIONABLE because from this new place of deep self-awareness you can then take aligned, confident action. We’re not just going to say, “ooh isn’t this cool,”— we’re going to ask, and answer, “so what? What can I now DO with all of this?” (The #activator in me LOVES this part.) Which of those three facets is most appealing to you?

Appreciating the #saythingsbettermastermind with @lilalasagna and the practice we're working through around verbing my values. Combined with my new #sketchnotes practice and I've ended up with this!

Passing you this note.

This quote from @byron.katie so simply sums up a quality that defines the clients who experience the deepest levels of transformation through our work together.

There is a curiosity. An open minded spirit and willingness to dive in to and under and around the fears, stories, limitations, doubts and certainties that are keeping you stuck.

One of my strengths is #maximizer and one of the ways this shows up is in my ability to see through those thoughts you are most certain of and to guide you - with curiosity and creativity - towards the possibility of something new and more expansive.

WHAT IF that thought you’re holding on so tightly to....wasn’t true?

Are you willing to consider that possibility? #letsgo

This photo reflects something I'm very excited about related to my work as a coach.

Last week I began a certification course where I’m training to create, deliver, and coach others to their YouMap Profiles.

YouMap is a holistic self-awareness and discovery tool that integrates four pillars of career satisfaction - your strengths, values, skills and interests.

Each pIllar is assessed and explored separately before being integrated together in a unified “map” that helps you deeply understand how you tick, what lights you up, and how to align your unique magic with your career path. I’m only just beginning to understand its applications and am so excited to discover how the tool serves my clients and informs our work together. I wish I could adequately express how enthusiastic I am about this, on many levels.
In the meantime, I’m getting my own YouMap created and this right here is the first page of my Strengths debrief. You gotta zoom in to catch the details.... feel right? (hint: YES)
