“Your job is something you do, not something you are.”
How often do you introduce yourself by your job title rather than who you really are? Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, invites listeners to redefine their stories beyond career achievements in this episode of Encouragementology. She explores the depth of identity, encouraging you to peel back the layers and embrace the traits that make you uniquely human. From recognising your strengths and values to understanding narrative identity, Kendell challenges the notion that work defines your worth.
With humour and insight, she suggests exercises to rediscover your true self, whether you're a creative problem solver or a compassionate truth teller. Kendell also highlights the importance of separating your identity from your occupation, offering practical steps like rewriting your personal 'about me' statement and engaging in identity-affirming activities outside work. This episode is a gentle reminder that your job is something you do, not who you are.
So, are you ready to reclaim your authentic self and let it shine through every aspect of your life?
