In this Changemaker Challenge Career Clarity Session, Cate chats with Yoga Health Coach Dana Skoglund about how building a signature system or leveraging an existing signature system can propel your wellness career to the next level. Building a signature system involves codifying your life's work coupled with what you've learned from others into a system that is succinct and easy to integrate. Dana has successfully used and expanded upon Cate's Yoga Health Coaching System to create her own signature systems.

Leveraging an existing system requires a growth mindset – the ability to learn from and benefit from someone else's work. Is your native genius to build and create your own system, or would you benefit more from leveraging your own system? Listen in as Cate and Dana discuss how Wealth Dynamics can help you determine your best course of action.

Once you've decided which course of action is right for you, using tools to develop and refine your system, allows you to see its strengths and weaknesses. Creating and emphasizing codified language around your system makes it easier for clients and course members to identify and understand key components of your system. Finally, the success of your system is dependent on your ability to constantly refine and upgrade the user experience.

What you'll get out of tuning in:

• How committing to a growth mindset allows you to see the value and wisdom in systems that are unfamiliar to you.

• How learning, using, and teaching someone else's system can propel your career to the next level.

• How using tools can help you see the strengths and weaknesses in your own signature system.
