Many of us may have thought (or still think) – “if I could just find my calling”. Wouldn’t that be nice?? One day (ideally before we invest in education or training beyond high school), we get a phone call from the universe and a sweet voice whispers to us the ideal, attainable career. The one that makes us happy, contributes to others, earns us great money, and allows us all the free time we desire. As we all know, it just doesn’t work that way for most of us. Plus – we are deceived by thinking there is that one great job and we just need to figure out what it is. The truth is there are many great jobs and careers for each of us. The way you discover your potential career journey is by obtaining the “3 C’s” – Clarity, Confidence and Conviction.
Clarity – Is understanding – what your natural talents and abilities are, where they are needed, why they are needed, and why you encountered past successes and obstacles.
It all begins with understanding yourself first. Highly successful people know what they do best, find ways to incorporate what they do best into their life and careers, and keep on learning. It’s a continuous journey.
Confidence – Is owning – your choice to use your natural talents and abilities or to cultivate new talents and abilities with or without concerted effort.
