If you feel like you missed it when the universe was handing out “Passion & Purpose;” if you feel like you knew what yours was once, but something has shifted; if you feel like you’re multi-passionate and have no idea how to corral your values and passion and purpose into something you can integrate into your work, then this #Conversationality is for you.
Eunice Brownlee is a speaker coach and a storytelling coach, and this entire aspect of her career stemmed out of finding her own voice and telling her own story. And then discovering that she could be a mirror for people to help them understand their own brilliance and unique offering.
Of course, you can try to be your own mirror…ask yourself what you would say to yourself if you were your own best friend, but I’m guessing most of us need a bit of a nudge in that direction from a trusted objective external source.
The conversation with Eunice spans across topics, including the need for curiosity about ourselves, unexpected references to the Diddy trial, and a great definition of the difference between sharing your vulnerability and “trauma dumping.” Check it out and let us know if it helped you tease out more about your own passion and purpose than you knew you had in you!
