Love what you do, do what you love

At the STC Meeting this week Rich Maggiani spoke on discovering your inherent skills. Most of us are not as fortunate to be able to do our discovering during a 6 month hiatus in Hawai’i like Rich did but the concept is still the same.

Rich’s plan includes a few simply stated steps:

• List your life stages/time frames (can be overlapping- ie. worked while going to school)
• From your chronological list of life stages determine your defining accomplishments
• List the skills that each accomplishment required by major and minor skills
• Break those skills into larger skill sets or groups and determine whether they are skills you acquired/inherent and whether you enjoy the activity

Be warned: although Rich’s plan is pretty simply stated, the concept requires deep reflection.

Rich’s plan is ultimately a great way to determine what it is you like to do, and what skills you need to work on to get to do the things you love the most. It also helps you to see what the driving factors are in your life- why do you like traveling? Is it the discovery? The adventure?

Very nice Rich, thank you for encouraging us all to do a bit of reflection!
