Jennifer Bennett I think I'm in love with this question how can we examine then push ourselves
to move forward our town toward our talent and potential okay I think about I okay I'm I'm gonna
just I hope you don't mind I'm gonna use myself as an analogy because this is how I think about how
I how I how how you all pull me toward figuring out how to max out my talent and my potential okay
I sat down a long while ago and I thought about my why and I I you know and if you're in my boot
camp I kind of I kind of lay this out for you hasn't really changed much and it I talk about
in my evolution in my career I helped companies and I also helped people as a as a consultant then
I became a recruiter because my why was dragging me toward focusing more on what I wanted to do
which was help people and help them secure better jobs help them guide them in their careers which
is then evolved into a career coach and what I think about is is I want to make such a positive
impact on many people and not just some people so when I was a recruiter if I was helping 25
to 50 people change jobs in a year and that was great that was still only 50 people or 25 people
or some somewhere in between right a personal week or a person every other week or whatever it might
be but I thought about what is it that I need to do to reach more people I feel like my experience
could benefit all your experience could benefit people all right so believe me the intersection
between what you know and what somebody else knows is microscopic you think it's a canyon
but it's this big not this big and so I said okay what skills is it going to take for me to reach
a hundred million people a billion people how like I want to be everybody's One-Stop shop for
everything career related how can I do that what are the steps I need to take well the first thing
that I need to do in order to reach more lives is help them with an acute problem job searching if
they don't have the right job or they don't enjoy their job or they don't have a job that's a really
bad problem and I want to build relationships with them through what ongoing help teaching and so on
and then I looked at what are all the mediums that that I could I could deliver the books
the blog the videos uh new books and so on and so what I started to look at was what is my why do I
think I'm here like I want to help these people I genuinely believe that I can help a lot of people
and so if I'm going to help a lot of people I work backwards what's that going to take well
if I want to help people some people want to read it some people want to listen to it some people
want to watch it right some people want right whatever it is what are the mediums they want I do
not like talking through a camera I would rather be sitting in the same room with you right but I'm
not letting my discomfort with talking through a camera prevent me from accomplishing what I
believe that you want and need right and why I was put on this Earth so I'm gonna have to learn that
okay well I'll figure it out and I'll just keep practicing and I'll practice and practice and
practice and then I'll write and I oh wait hang on a second I have to have book writing skills cop
email copywriting skills social media copywriting skills and so on what are all the skills I need to
build all right well some of them you're going to absolutely need to become an aset and some of them
you're going to need to learn to a certain level and others you need to know enough and then get
help or whatever meaning hire somebody or whatever it is and so I think about in order to make what
I want happen happen what does it take and then that's the goal and then what skills do I need
to to build in order to be able to do this as a matter of fact this is really great because this
morning I literally was writing this plan for you meaning I was putting an example development plan
to do exactly what Jennifer is asking this morning I literally this is the last part of the book that
is I'm I'm like 100 or 200 words left about what it's going to take and and this is exactly what
I mean so the book that I opened up the package with today this is exactly what it's about how
do you do this and how do you figure that out and then how do you work backwards and then how do you
measure and watch your progress because a lot of you are making progress but you don't know you're
making progress because you don't take the time to reflect and look and see how far you've come
because you only think about the Gap and the whole about how where you know what the Delta is between
where you are and where you think you should be instead of wow how far have I come how how
much you know what else can I be doing and then enjoying that whole journey This is complicated
this isn't easy no this is not natural to Think Through This is why his book is so hard to write
so I love love love love love love that question and I hope all of you I hope you get the book I
hope you join the leadership program the book is a you know the leadership program and kind
of what I I showed really quickly for Tracy and all those assets and videos and there's
booklets and training program and everything in there the book is a book version of that in
as much as I could fit in the limited number of words that the publisher gave me that I had to
basically fit the book into and so you know this is why I'm so so pumped about this
so I hope I hope that helps that's a really great question I love that you asked thank you for that
