I’m very excited – today I begin working with an amazing group of women committed to building rewarding careers they love, on their terms. We’re coming together in my Amazing Career Project Group Coaching Intensive. They come from all walks, situations, and experiences around the globe, but they share one critical thing – they’re ready for more, different and better in their lives.
One essential question we’ll be looking at is this: What will people remember most about you? and What do you WANT to be remembered for?
In the past, my answers to those two questions were very far apart. My professional life didn’t stand for anything that I wanted it to, and I wasn’t making the impact in the world I deeply longed to. The problem was, I just didn’t know how to bridge that gap. No clue even where to begin.
I know now (after leaving corporate life, becoming a therapist, coach, writer, and studying energy healing work) that it’s a fabulous journey with many twists, turns and detours – to dig deep, discover your right work, and shine in it. But it’s very doable, for everyone, with the right steps and mindsets (and a little help).
Today, why not make a start on that journey and ask yourself, “What will people remember most about me?”
Please share your answers to that critical question below.
Go ahead, BRAG! It’s scary, I know, because women in particular are trained NOT to do this, and sometimes there’s even backlash when they do. But we have to do it in the face of our fears.
Tell me…what are you amazing at, how do you make the world a better place just by being here. If that’s too challenging to do, share what other people have said about you that makes you blush and smile from ear-to-ear.
I can’t wait to hear.
Love to you.
This is really difficult! Its making me want to cry. That I have a really good sense of humor,I’m a little crazy, I am driven, motivated, never give up, willing to try new things, intelligent, I’m kind and I always give 200% and then some.
With gratitude to all my teachers and friends, I am now sharing Shirley’s Prodigious Legacy 70+. Thank you for this opportunity!
People will remember me as a Caring and dedicated person.
I spent 15 years at a large Fortune Global 500 Company in sales, corporate training, and as a manager and leader of people. In the past I would have answered, “I am a hard worker, I do not fail, and I am better every year.” Now, I understand that a more accurate answer would be, “I accomplish my goals because I persevere in the face of obstacles by finding innovative solutions, and I am a continuous improver who strives to be the best in my role, so I seek opportunities for improvement daily.” It took Strengths Coaching for me to be able to answer this question with confidence. Now, I add that I am a strategic decision maker who anticipate and avoid obstacles; I thrive on problem solving; I am a catalyst for change as well as I first responder to anything “new,”and I have strategic business and soft skills acumen. Whew! That feels GREAT! By the way, I recently bought your book and I love it!
What a wonderful about me question! I hope to be remembered for simply sharing kindness toward all.
Beautiful! So glad you shared.
Terri, congratulations to you on all your amazing achievements! Very inspiring indeed. You have so much to be wonderfully proud of! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Wow, that’s powerful! So glad your strengths coaching helped you tap into the amazing gifts and talents you have and are sharing with the world. Kudos! And so glad you’re finding Breakdown, Breakthrough helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, Beverley.
The first thing most people would say is that I am extremely positive in all situations. Dedicated, reliable and resourceful. Problems are opportunities to allow us to expand and share our abilities/knowledge.
Hi A – Thanks for sharing! “Problems are opportunities” – that’s a fabulous (and very impactful) mantra.
Thanks, Jennifer. Your commitment to helping cats and to comfort the little ones who are so afraid and alone, is inspiring! Thanks for sharing your beautiful spirit with the world!
Hi Kathy, always a big fan of your blog and work! I have similar background with you – having spent almost a decade in banking I felt my deepest interest lies helping people grow and flourish, rather than closing million dollar capital markets transactions. So I am now doing a master in positive psychology and also starting up my business to inspire and empower people to be the best version of themselves and to honour their unique gifts to make a difference. I always believe our work is an expression of our love in this world. And if I can be remembered for my love in whichever way it is expressed, that would be more than enough for me:) And I’m glad to say my clients already told me that I helped them to find their inner compass and discover their hidden potential on their career or life-changing journeys. Thanks for asking this question and for keep inspiring us!
