Can reall you y >
find a job without looking?

yes!

yes! The only place you
need to look is inside.

“ You can’t be different
Alan Watts

“ You can’t be different
only more of yourself ” Alan Watts

People want to make career
decisions based on an unclear picture of who they are

unclear picture what they “should”
want

unclear picture who they wish
they were

unclear picture what will impress
others (such as title, status, salary)

unclear picture who they promise
themselves they will become if they get this job

unclear picture Who they are
afraid to be

“ Always be a first
rate version of yourself ” and not a second rate version of someone else Judy Garland

When you are a second
rate version of someone else:

When you are a second
rate version of someone else: You feel like a fraud

When you are a second
rate version of someone else: You make choices you wouldn’t otherwise make

When you are a second
rate version of someone else: Inauthenticity breeds anxiety and anxiety kills creativity

When you are a second
rate version of someone else: You look outside of yourself for approval

When you are a second
rate version of someone else: You lower expectations and limit options

When you are a second
rate version of someone else: it depletes confidence and self-esteem

So where do we start?

YOU
Let’s start with

YOU Need to know what
you want to get what you want

YOU Need to know who
you are to know what you want

This is the missing link...
Most people barely scratch the surface, so they spend their time chasing someone else’s dream or vision

Your time is limited so
don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become Everything else is secondary. Steve Jobs

“ playing not to lose
We have two choices: a fear-based way of living or playing to win an attitude that overcomes fear with love and therefore inspires those we touch We experience inspiration and inspire others when we ” live authentically and are aligned with a clear sense of our higher purpose and a commitment to building soulful relationships with all those whom we serve. Lance Secretan
