8 weeks to explore what matters to you and how to align who you are with what you ‘do’ in the world.

When people ask, ‘What do you do?’, is it true you often answer with what you get paid to do. What we ‘work at’ appears to be one of the criteria of how we define others, and how we identify with ourselves.

I don’t believe for a second that who we really are is what we are paid for.

But. And yes, it’s a big but …

What you are paid for, what you do in ‘work’, how you spend your time does shape your soul: the highs, the lows, the moment by moment experiences, the loves, the hates, the skills used – and those ignored or forgotten – and the time you spend on the ‘doing’ does impact your understanding of who you think you are, and the world around you.

And, no question, adds to our well-being and happiness.

For many of us we had the following career and work advice before we were let loose and told ‘You’re an adult now, go forth make a living (note living, not life) …

*crickets*

Yep, nothing.

Maybe you had a 20 minute careers (cough cough) interview with someone you had only ever seen ghostly walking about the school halls with a clipboard for years before you found yourself in conversation with them. Young, impressionable (maybe) they told you that your skills would be best in this or that career: you listened, you believed them, away you went.

That’s if you were lucky, well, actually I don’t know if lucky is the right word, maybe unfortunate.

Maybe you are still following their ‘guidance’. Or maybe, being human, you have another story: perhaps circumstances and life meant you had no choice but to take the route you are on, maybe you had to fend for yourself at young age, perhaps you had parents/carers who had already decided what you were going to get paid for before you were out of nappies.

Right gorgeous,

I’m a huge believer that doing what you love is a happier way to live, you in? (Being who you are is w-a-y happier though!) And, I want it on record that doing what you love is not always for payment.

So many of us say we want to change our career, to do work that matters, we want to enjoy what we do, make a difference, use our (mastery) skills, talents, gifts and passions. We all have ideas, we all have plans, thoughts, ‘what-if’s’ and wonder if we will ever return back from a weekend or holiday to the work place without the fear and dread of going in the door for more of the same.

We know that there can be another way. Yet, it is difficult to begin, to start, to create. That is perfectly normal. It can take a few years of ‘being an adult’ and living a little before we even begin to start the questions that matter.

The Do What You Love Course is designed to help you work out what really matters to you, how to get started, how to keep going, how to explore your options, how to create happiness and peace now as you are preparing your next moves, how to make a shift, move, change, gear up, apply and alteration or transformation with grace, inspiration and ease.

Or, to find the meaning in what you are doing now.

Please join me for 8 weeks of lessons, actions, ideas, plans, support, sparkly bits, community and conversation.

Each week, you will receive a lesson and actions to take. You will need to allow 4 – 6 hours at least for each week of the course to actually take the steps. While you are working on your thing (even if you haven’t got as clue what your thing is right now, you will be the end of week one), we will also have a space to connect, share, get support, ideas, encouragement, input from others in a private Facebook group.

The weeks are as follows:

You can read the weeks in more detail here.

Pre Course: As soon as you register you will have some prep work to do.

Week One: What Should You Be Doing?

Week Two: Getting Started

Week Three: The Design

Week Four: Relationships/Connections

Week Five: Great Work V’s Work

Week Six: Salary to Solopreneur

Week Eight: Maintaining a Happier, Fulfilled, Balanced Life – a theme throughout the 8 weeks.

We’ll also have 4 Q and A calls together where you can bring your own questions about your specific circumstances.

By the end of the 8 weeks, you will be well on the way to creating what matters to you, you will have explored and leapt over the confusion and into a place of clarity. Dragged out and declared your skills, talents and gifts. That you will be taking action, connecting, communicating, putting ideas into action. As soon as you sign up you will have prep work to do.

Do What You Love to Do is ideal for you if,

You are currently feeling miserable because of what you ‘do’ for a living or because you aren’t using all your talents and gifts in some capacity in your life, and you have other ideas inside you that you have to create before you explode (well, not really!).
You are at the point in your life – but it can happen any time – where you are asking ‘what is my life purpose’, ‘where did I go wrong’ or ‘I wish I knew what to do first’.
You are ready to let go of the myths, stories and legends you’ve heard about ‘love work’ and are prepared to role your sleeves, come into the 21st century, open your mind (and heart) and take action (the action part is mega important, this is a workshop, not a ‘someday course’).
You want a vibrant course – you want to connect, to share, to do it with a little sizzle and the tools and techniques.
You aren’t looking for big shiny ‘you can make a million by next Tuesday ‘ career course – urgh, blech, con – nope, you want to take a course where what you learn, explore, action you can use again.
You have a sense of humour. Love the idea of getting stuck in (finally) to your own stuff.
You need help.
