EPISODE 62

What is your genius? Are you powerfully persuasive or a natural networker? Perhaps you're exceedingly empathetic? Today on the show I speak with Katya Nicholas, a certified CliftonStrengths coach, and we discuss different ways to capitalize on your strengths and find satisfaction and joy in your work. I myself have taken the assessment and we touch on a few of my results and how they translate to Podcast Management. Katya also shares with us how she uses her own Zones of Genius in her work as a coach and photographer, and how she has utilized her strengths to build trust with her clients. 

 

If you've ever been excellent at something; had great feedback, amazing results, but always felt like something was missing, then this episode is for you. Katya explains the different Zones and their characteristics, as well as the professional benefits of playing more to your strengths and doing the things that you find energizing. Today we also talk about one of the major lessons we all learned as kids: "nothing good comes easy", and how it may be more fiction than fact.  

 

In this episode, we cover:

- How understanding what your unique talents are can lead you to success in a career you enjoy.

- The positive psychology behind the CliftonStrengths assessment.

- The difference between the Zone of Genius and the Zone of Excellence and how easy it is to get stuck in the Zone of Excellence. 

- How to pivot your business to be more in line with your Zone of Genius.
