When I met Lucy she was ready to take the next step in her career, but lacked clarity about what that would be. She had a number of ideas, but none of them resonated. We worked through my program and the result is fantastic: 2 best-fit roles that match her strengths and her ‘why’.

In this interview, Lucy shares her experience. I recommend listening to the whole podcast, but here are some key points you can jump to if you’re short on time.

Here’s an insight into how she worked through the first few modules of my program.

In Module 1 we uncovered 13 dream roles. These revealed that Lucy is clearly a multi-passionate. That is, someone who could find a fulfilling role across a range of areas.

Then, in Module 2 we uncovered the layers of her ‘why’.

I’m sharing part of it here:

“I want to have a solid connection with my family. Yes, I’m primary carer but I want work part time hours.

I thrive when I connect with the ocean. This is where I’m meant to be.

I want to educate others and see a shift in human behaviour. To help others to respect people, nature and animals. I want to be part of the process and see the journey. I want to see the ‘aha’ moments and witness the social change.”

In Module 3 we identified and got to understand Lucy’s strengths.

Strengths are activities, or dimensions of activities, with which you have a natural affinity and that you will find energising and fulfilling.

Developer: I emphasise what others do well and why they are special. Allow them to be who they are and embrace what makes them special.

Empathy: I’m aware of other people’s feelings, needs and thoughts and am positive. I instinctively lift people’s spirits

Individualisation: I can break things down into manageable tasks. I’m fascinated by humans and how they can co-operate better together.

Connectedness: I place a very high value on the environment being full of integrity. I say what I say I will do. I create a peaceful environment.

How brilliant are her strengths! Woot!

We then explored 12 of her 13 dream role ideas. Being a multi-passionate is confusing. So having a step by step framework is helpful to get to where you need to be. Lucy used mini-experiments to test out the ideas that sang the loudest to her.

The result: Let’s celebrate with Lucy – her best-fit role/s are:

She is working part time hours.

She is influencing others in a way that matches her why and her strengths.

I will be interviewing Lucy soon about the behind the scenes details of her mini-experiments and more.

Here’s more info about Lucy’s beach kinder.

So many organisations now boast about their culture and flexible practices, but struggle to actually support, let alone enable, their people to work flexibly.

Meet Rob Rankin who has created a strikingly different employee experience in the law.

The legal industry tops the charts with anxiety and depression. And let’s face it, lawyers don’t get much sympathy. Despite this, Rob has created a virtual workplace with a culture of adventure, innovation and fun, because,

“The better experience our employee lawyers have the better our clients customer service experience will be.“

Rob only regrets that he didn’t start this firm earlier.

Do you crave to be treated like an adult by your employer and to have more time and location freedom?

Listen to this interview and be inspired by a model that’s working!

Also, if you’re a lawyer and interested in talking about careers and options Rob’s happy to have a chat. You can contact him via www.rankinandco.com.

Many of my clients come to me with stories of poor management experiences. Whether it’s change management, performance management or internal recruitment. It’s so frustrating to hear about the same issues across all sectors.

There is a key factor that contributes to these bad experiences. That is, when people are promoted they aren’t necessarily given the support or training they require to succeed in the myriad of management and leadership capabilities.
