In order to find a career that will bring true meaning to your life, you first need to identify your talents, passions and mission. This means finding what you do best, what you enjoy doing and what will make it all worthwhile. When you can find a career that aligns with all three, you will be in your sweet spot, and you will finally have a vision for where you want your life to go.

Uncertainty = opportunity! It is most important to get clear about those moments of brilliance where your unique "superpowers" made a difference to others AND you had great impact - and many times those experiences were not part of your job description.

It's where your values, expertise, curiosity, and interests all align in the most synergistic way!
