RIB2: The path to become who we are meant to be with Shellee Burroughs

June 21, 2022

This episode focuses on REINVENTION process

Very often we believe that the normal professional path is: we have an aspiration, we get an education, and we go out to find the job we were trained for.

Many times these paths are not linear, but include shifts. Those shifts typically happen as people make discoveries about themselves and gain new insights about their preferences.

“Ten years worth of clinical experience made in 4 years time, operating in a different system, while I was in Malaysia”

“One of the challenges during one of Shellee’s transitions: not having a working identity, while I had a clear identity as part of an international community”

LISTEN AND YOU WILL LEARN

How important it is to believe in your potential and stay true to your nature, especially when tough times make you doubt.
We might have different parts of ourselves or skills that at first we think might not fit together, but working towards our aspirations they can all come together
Joining an organization, hanging with like minded people, finding your tribe helps not only the reinvention transition, but can be fundamental for co-creation, collaborations and building partnerships. Plus you have peers to support you in the process. “Shellee says: “better a big island full of people and not a little rock by myself”
Having the courage of being a trailblazer, opens up opportunities
Reinvention doesn’t always mean starting from scratch. Repurposing skills and allowing creativity and inner work to happen, can be a great foundation for a new project, more true to who we are or love to do. We cover this topic in my Reinvention webinars, check here if you want to learn more.
