I can change the world! I will be the sunlight in your universe! I don't really
know what that was. The ENFJ myers-briggs personality type
is known for connecting with others, being a champion or an advocate for
causes, and speaking out on issues that are important to them.
Famous likely ENFJ changemakers include Martin Luther King jr., Nelson Mandela,
and Bono. If you are an ENFJ, or think you might be, in this video we're gonna
explore some ways that you might change the world! Welcome back to another video!
If we haven't met yet, my name is Amber Melanie Smith, and I make videos to help
changemakers with tips and strategies to help you change the world while
living a life of impact and purpose. So, I'm personally in ENFJ, but I'm kind of
close to the "I" (introvert) line because I have those introvert days where I just need
to not people at all. When I was in college in my Nonprofit Management
Studies classes, one of my professors commented how there is a
disproportionate amount of ENFJs in those types of classes. He commented
that, you know, ENFJs are just naturally drawn to social change, and
social impact projects. And so I thought that was really interesting and wanted
to kind of explore that a little bit in this video. For those of you who may not
be sure what your myers-briggs is yet I've left a couple of links in the
description of this video below. You can check that out and take some of the
quizzes that they have and assess yourself and let us know in the comments
what your personality type is! If you like this video and this topic please
let me know! Drop a comment, give it a thumbs up! I am very interested in
exploring different ways that people of all personalities can make a difference
in the world, and that is sort of the reason behind this video. But if you're
interested in hearing me talk about some of the other myers-briggs personality
types and special ways that they might make an impact - I would love to hear it
and I will get those videos out to you. Okay, so before I get into some ways that
enfjs can change the world, let's just quickly
review some the ENFJ personality traits. ENFJs make
up about 2-3 % of the global population they estimate, and are
known for being charismatic, warm, engaging, they like to talk sometimes,
they are known for being altruistic, and many of them feel that they are
naturally born leaders. ENFJs are all about figuring out ways to improve
people's lives and help them meet their full potential. ENFJ weaknesses include
sometimes being a little bit too idealistic - can relate - insecure, sensitive,
and sometimes it can be a little bit difficult as an ENFJ to make really hard
decisions. If this sounds like you, you might be an ENFJ! ENFJs like being
organized and having your teams - we need to connect with other people in our
lives and our work to be happy. And we really need to feel trusted. Enfjs are
also a little bit unhappy when we have to turn off our emotions, or get too far
into what we think are insignificant details of a task, or getting in the
weeds. Okay so enfjs - here are some ways that
you can change the world. As an ENFJ you need to be able to make a difference in
a way where you can connect with other people and be part of planning and
organizing. As an ENFJ you probably have the patience to stick it out for the
long haul so you could tackle some really big social issues if you are
going down a path of changemaking, but the catch is you really need to be
surrounded by people who care about the cause and who can encourage you along
the way so that you can stay motivated. In terms of careers in changemaking
that might be great for an ENFJ, we've got community leader or politician - your
need to connect with other people and be a spokesperson for a cause could make
you really well-suited for this, but perhaps you might enjoy doing this on a
local level because some of the larger political establishments might make it
hard for you to be vulnerable and show your emotions, which is something that's
really important to you. If you're in a business setting I can see
you wanting to make your business a force for good, so some kind of corporate
social responsibility role where you are getting to help determine which
charities your company is going to donate to, or even rallying your
co-workers to go volunteer for a cause might be a really good fit for you. If
you are thinking about a non-profit career as an ENFJ, executive director,
fundraiser, or public relations coordinator might be a really good fit
for you. In these roles you can be leading others, you can be setting the
big vision, and you can be building relationships with people in your
community and establishing that trust that is so important to you as an ENFJ.
As a volunteer there's such a big difference that you can make as an ENFJ!
One really great role that could be very well-suited to you is as a mentor.
You could be a mentor to youth you could be a mentor or a buddy to someone who is
developing life skills you love to see people meet their potential and love
helping them get there along a similar line being a companion or a visitor to
homebound or isolated seniors might be a good fit for you this allows you to
connect very deeply and personally with someone who needs you and it means you
can see your impact right away another great volunteer role for you as
an ENFJ might be service project organizer this will allow you to play
that leadership role you're so good at but you can also organize really
effective events and you just love seeing a group of people come together
similarly an event planner for fundraising for charity thinking of
something like a 5k or organizing a gala might be just what you need to get
excited doing a fundraising event means that you can also tap into your personal
networks of friends to get them rallying behind your cause which would really
invigorate you as an ENFJ in the activism realm being some kind of
activist campaign coordinator someone who has the loud speaker someone who is
rallying people to move into the street or getting people to show up at an event
these would be things that you'd be really good at and that would
really make you feel fulfilled because you can see all of the people that
you've gathered right away and feel the power of that crowd behind them in
support of the cause that you care about are you an ENFJ or do you know one how
are you helping make a difference leave your ideas and thoughts in the comments
