Ep #5: Leaning into Your Zone of Genius

Today we are talking about leaning into your zone of genius.

People often ask me how to uncover their purpose, or how to find fulfilling work, but I think a more useful and empowering perspective is to explore your zone of genius.

Your zone of genius is the point where your unique talents, strengths and skills meet. This concept not only allows you to understand what you’re good at and what motivates you, but it also uncovers where you can get paid more for doing work that you love.

Even if you’re not questioning your career purpose, understanding your own zone of genius will open up more opportunities for you.

I’ll take you through the four stages of competence before revealing how you can then uplevel and upskill beyond these to reach your zone of genius. This is where you increase your impact and increase your earning potential. It’s where you can educate others and connect with people on a much deeper level. This is where great leaders operate from.

We discuss the ways operating in this space can be tough, and how you can work through those challenges. Stepping beyond this point requires you to be intentional and committed and to make the conscious decision to step out of your comfort zone in pursuit of something greater.

Your zone of genius allows you to do something in the world that other people can’t do. We all have this inside of us, it’s about getting out of our own way and letting go of the limitations we put on ourselves, to create a career that we absolutely love and that offers value to the world.

Keep leaning into your zone of genius, whatever that looks like!
