In the changing world of work, it's more important than ever to know yourself and your unique gifts at a deep level. Knowing your unique set of facts is a vital part of the self-knowledge journey, but it's not a discovery that mainstream culture or power wants you to make.

In this episode, we explore and share practical tips based in psychology for discovering these facts about yourself and getting clear on your gifts.

In this episode I discuss:

- Why personality psychology reveals your cognitive gifts and growth areas (and the dangers of type systems)

- The role of shadow work

- Symbolic tools like Tarot Birth Charts in self-discovery

- Understanding your relationship to the four modalities of consciousness

- What your mind tries to show you when completing mindless or non-human tasks

- Several questions that reveal your irreplaceable value

- Why what you loved as a child holds keys to your adult contribution

- How people with your personality type and symbolic profile contribute to the world

This episode covers the first side of the career dialectic from Habit 4 of the Seven Habits of Individuation: knowing your unique set of facts. The next episode explores how to meet the genuine needs of the world. The goal isn't to become a cog in someone else's machine, but to develop the self-knowledge that allows your authentic gifts to emerge and find their place in the world.
