When was the last time you asked that question? Was it as a student? As a small child? After you had already entered your career?
If you still don't know what you want to be when you grow up, maybe it's time to try something new and different. After all, the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
We have a unique methodology that really works and will give you a concrete answer to the ageless question, "what do I want to be when I grow up." It all starts here...
Think back to a day when you were totally energized...a day when the time flew by. Can you remember a day like that, when you looked at a clock at the end of the day and said, “Wow, where did the time go?”
You have probably experienced a day (or maybe just a moment) like that at home, at work or maybe doing an activity you love to do.
Some of you may have to think way back into childhood to find such a day. (Don't worry. Even if you can't remember a day or moment like that, we can still help you.) If you can remember an energizing day, or even a moment, imagine every day being just like that.
I know that sounds impossible or maybe farfetched, but that is exactly what we do. No, we’re not talking about shaping your life around a skill set you’ve picked up along the way, even though that’s what traditional thinking would recommend. The problem with the skills-based approach is this simple fact…
A fun little game we play with our customers that will give you a glimpse into our concepts at Stuck in a Rut.
You get into a job you're skilled in, even though you might not like doing it. If you're already in the work force, the skills based approach tends to put you back into something similar to what you've already done. For those of you who are already in your career, that approach means bad news. 86% of you don't love what you do. (If you are a part of the lucky 14% who love what they do, read on. You're about to learn why understanding why you love what you do is important.)
No, we’re not talking about a “do what you love and the money will follow” approach, although that has a kernel of truth. That approach severely limits your possibilities. For example, if your passions are golf and fishing, there are only so many ways to shape your life around golf or fishing.
There is a deeper, much more fundamental truth behind our techniques that will provide a lifetime of learning. Once you understand and act on that fundamental truth, you’ll know exactly how to live that energizing life you just imagined.
There is a fundamental truth behind what you're passionate about that most people consistently miss. When you’re doing an activity that you love, it’s not the activity itself that is energizing to you. What actually is energizing to you is what is going on in your mind when you’re doing that activity. This is a crucial concept…so important to understand that you should go back and read it again. Application of this simple concept is what makes our techniques so effective and long-lasting.
Here is how this applies to you. When you're doing that activity that is energizing to you, you are using a particular way of thinking and acting every time. You probably don't know what that way of thinking is because it is largely unconscious and intuitive. You do it at the speed of light. You’re the best at this particular way of thinking, and it’s so energizing to you that you can’t help but be drawn back into it.
Believe it or not, every activity you love is tied together through this particular way of thinking and acting, no matter how diverse you think those activities are. They all originate from the same step-by-step process.
This core way of thinking is what we call your Given Talent. Once again, it’s not the activity itself that’s energizing to you. To put it very simply, using your Given Talent IS what energizes you…every single time.
It’s been with you ever since you were a young child and you probably aren't even aware of it. Once we bring your Given Talent to light, you’ll see yourself using it literally everywhere and every day...at work, at home, in the way you choose which sports to play and hobbies to do, at the office, on the golf course, on vacation, even when you're just playing around...virtually everywhere.
You'll be struck by how natural your Given Talent is for you. In fact, it comes so naturally you might falsely believe everybody thinks the same way you do. Nothing could be further from the truth.
This core way of thinking, your Given Talent, is exactly what defines your individuality. It's the real you...your own unique brand. It's what, without even knowing, you've mastered over the years.
Understanding your Given Talent gives you the best of the “skill set” and “do what you love” worlds without the drawbacks. You'll know exactly what you do expertly because it’s what your mind does naturally. And because you'll know why you love what you love, you’ll be able to find more and more activities that use your Given Talent, whether they are for profit or just for fun. Finding your Given Talent opens up a whole new world of possibility.
The Clarifier® begins with The Clarifier interview, which is our trade secret process that uncovers your Given Talent in two hours or less. It’s not your typical linear style interview. It’s a proven process that was boiled down from ten years of experimentation. In a one-on-one session we'll ask you a series of simple and seemingly disconnected questions around energizing events in your past where time flew by.
You'll become visibly energized as you relive those incredible days. As we listen to the nature of your responses, we'll adjust our questions to drill more and more into the inner workings of how your mind works.
By the end of the interview, your Given Talent will reveal itself much like the sun's rays emerging through a dense fog. Instantly you'll flash back through your life and remember times in the past where you used your Given Talent.
Our clients often describe this phenomenon as "connecting the dots." Many find it so exciting and clarifying that they have a difficult time sleeping the evening of the interview (much like a kid on Christmas Eve who can't wait to open their presents). In fact, many compare this experience to a "brain massage" because it's so relaxing and exhilarating.
Once your Given Talent is brought to light, it'll become obvious what activities in your life use your Given Talent and which ones don't. It'll become obvious why certain things are so difficult, and why others are so effortless. You'll intuitively know the direction you should be heading to make your life more energizing, regardless of your career situation. The clarity you will glean from this experience alone is amazing!
Even though the concept of a Given Talent is fairly simple, uncovering it is actually very difficult. It takes months to train our Career and Life Integrators to facilitate The Clarifier interview. One of the reasons why it’s difficult is because your Given Talent is so much a part of your very being, that it is almost impossible to see yourself. Much like your nose, it’s constantly in your view. Because it's always been there, you've learned to filter it out of your conscious thought.
Your Given Talent can also be hard to see because it is often covered by layers of Should Bees. What are Should Bees? Everybody has Should Bees and some of them are necessary. Should Bees are filters imposed on your life as the result of other people’s expectations. They are not really you. Instead they are imposed on you by somebody else. Should Bees come from a variety of sources, typically from the people closest to you. Whether they come from your friends, family, spouse or whoever, an abundance of Should Bees boxes you in. They limit your ability to pursue the life meant for you.
The Clarifier® pushes aside these Should Bees and isolates your Given Talent. This all happens as you are having the time of your life reliving your life's most energizing moments.
At the end of The Clarifier, what emerges is your particular step-by-step core way of thinking (your Given Talent). You'll see yourself using this particular thought process each and every time you are doing something energizing to you. Knowing that is the key to leading an energizing life. Your Given Talent is unique to you and only you. It's not one of those canned descriptions that puts you in a predefined box also describing millions of other people.
Don’t be deceived. Even though it takes two hours or less to uncover your Given Talent, your newfound discovery will serve you for a lifetime.
We often get asked if The Clarifier is anything like Myers-Briggs, Kolbe, CPI, Enneagram, MAPP or anything else. The answer is a resounding “NO!!” And it’s not a form of role-playing either. Our techniques are unlike any other. It is a process that is owned and licensed only by us.
The Clarifier can be done either in person or by phone. It works just as well either way.
It's difficult to explain the authenticity, validation and purpose most people feel when they go through The Clarifier. By the end of The Clarifier (and for days and weeks afterwards) your mind will buzz as you see how important your Given Talent is to you. For the rest of your life, you'll know exactly why you do what you do.
