Does Hermione find herself drawn to chaotic environments where she can introduce order? Does she have a high tolerance for ambiguity?
Does Marvin seek certainty when he moves to a new location or hires a career coach? Can he identify circumstances where he enjoys responding spontaneously?
Some clients discover they cannot work around a particular need, such as a desire for structure or a craving for autonomy. Others can learn to operate in a new style. Marvin, for instance, may learn to trust his intuition and give up some need for structure.
Some clients learn that a certain talent must be
focus of their working lives. Others realize that expressing
same talent is a "nice to have." Hermione might find a dream job that doesn't seem to make use of her talent for seeing patterns in unrelated data. Or she may find ways to use this talent that aren't included in
job description.
The first "aha" moment becomes, "Hold that thought." It's only by delving into
meaning of discovery that we can talk about its place in your business and career strategy.
