This is a practical approach to finding your ikigai, your reason for being. It is by tapping into one's key strengths, which is based on how our unique brain is wired, that you can figure out your zone of genius. Try out the Gallup's Strengths Finder exercise https://lnkd.in/gb2aM3Z8, and find out your unique strengths. It is very insightful. Focus on what you are good at and keep honing those, than working on getting well-rounded at everything. That is the key principle here. Applying and investing in them can spark real change, progress and fulfillment. The things we don't enjoy doing as much, are lower in the list of strengths and it takes more effort to do those activities. Since there are many which need to be done for your role, these are the activities that don't fill you up with the same energy and sense of fulfillment though you may procrastinate and still do it well. It takes a lot more effort, isn't as efficient and can lead to burnout. Not everyone is a CEO who can apply this method and hire someone to delegate those activities to , though every human has their unique core strengths and not so strong strengths ( mind you, these aren't 'weaknesses' since everyone can develop these strengths, but with more effort ). What I do is to partner with people with complementary strengths. In my team, I pair people up as I see these core strengths quickly and can tap into those and encourage them to build on their core strengths. When the right people partner, that is when magic happens when compared to their individual genius. Try it and see ! Ikigai is an intersection of What You Love , What You are Good at, What the World needs, What you can get Paid for. ie; Passion, Mission, Profession and Vocation.

Energy audit! Mind blowing concept!

Have you ever done an energy audit to help you find your zone of genius? I haven't, but on reflection I've been in that 'Zone of Excellence' where you are great at doing your job but not enjoying it and burning out. It follows the idea of being in a 'flow state' or 'in the zone'. Thanks Matt Schnuck for sharing the concept and I am going to do this over the next few months and focus on those energy giving tasks.

This was a good read. Genius zone has 2 of the 4 sections of Ikigai, the other 2 - pays the bills and what the world needs. Without knowing it, I’ve lead my career with those two focuses to mind - ENJOYMENT and LEARNING. I’d do a role until: - My learning started to slow and my enjoyment started to wane - I’d then review my job role responsibilities and identify those that: 1) I enjoyed and were good at 2) Didn’t enjoy as much and weren’t as good at - I’d look at the market at jobs that matched my enjoyed/competant roles - I’d see if I could tweak my role within my current company (if I wanted to stay) by speaking to my manager and delegating etc. - Decide which option would be best - move company or staying with tweaked role responsibilities Rinse and repeat..

I love this concept of Energy Audit. Adopting this and focusing our energies on the right 'zone' could positively influence our productivity and happiness quotient.

Two good questions: ?? Did this activity give me energy? (green zone) ?? Did this activity drain my energy? (red zone) Some great insights from Jon Adamson and Matt Schnuck ??
