091: The Surprising Ways You're Already Doing Your Work | Katie MacDonald
Manage episode 447560427 series 3561683
Your work is not your job or career. Your work is what you create.
You get this.
But what if you're still searching for the thing that’s yours which you create?
Or if you’ve stumbled upon it, what if that thing isn’t like everyone else’s?
While everyone else is creating tangible things that people can taste and touch, yours can’t be.
What then?
I want you to know you’re not alone in this.
Creating isn’t always tangible.
Some people do create tangible things.
But many more create intangible experiences.
And that’s great news.
It means the world of creating is much bigger and wider than you might have thought.
My guest on today’s episode can tell you all about this because Katie MacDonald has done something truly remarkable.
She’s taken what she’s heard here on Reframe to Create and done the deep work of integrating it into her understanding of herself and her work. She’s let it give her a reframe and the result has been a powerful discovery of what she uniquely brings to the table.
And her unique contribution might be like yours--something intangible.
Learning this has changed not just how she shows up on her job but how she shows up in all of her life.
We also talk about how your unique work doesn’t require that you go on a long journey to find it because you’re already doing it in some way today.
Listen in because you might discover that you’ve already been doing the thing you’ve been searching to find.
