Pre-Six Steps
PERSONALIZE YOUR POWER — Before beginning, we explore the type of Starter we are.
Using Carl Jung’s 6 archetypes, we challenge our own assumptions to help us shape our values, our perspective, and to understand our personal strengths and challenges. The Sovereign, The Warrior, The Sage, The Mystic, The Lover, The Jester.
We test our personal tolerance for risk, as well as learn about the power of our own resilience, in addition to discovering how we hope to relate to others in both our personal and professional lives. What talk do we walk?
Finally, we look at our personal goals and aspirations, and seek to understand how we will strive to dovetail our Starter life with those things that matter most.
ACTION
Take the Jung Personality Test, Meyers Briggs Test, or read Strengthfinder.
Identify 6 activities you love, that give you energy.
Identify 6 activities that you dislike, that take energy from you.
Journal or create a vision board that speaks of who you are in the world right now, and who you hope to be ongoing. The Artist’s Way is a great resource for self-discovery.
