Seeing Red Cars: Talk to many passionate people to discover a new job or opportunity

How 30 Chats in 30 Days changed my client's life

 

Don't make the mistake of talking to one person or reading one article and using that as the basis for an important life decision, such as your career direction. The best way to make thoughtful choices is to:

·         Know your passions, interests and strengths (take an assessment like Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham)

·         Understand your values

·         Scan marketplace trends

·         Talk to many people who are passionate about what they do – and very good at it

 

In Seeing Red Cars the book I tell the story of a bank manager who was not happy in his work life. I advised him to talk to 30 people who are passionate about what they do. We came up with three questions for the phone calls:

·         What are you passionate about?

·         How did you determine what you are passionate about?

·         What keeps you going?

 

When I asked him to name people he knows who are passionate about what they do and also very good at it, two people came to mind. I advised him to start with them, and at the end of each 15-minute conversation ask each person who else they know who is passionate about what they do and also very good at it. Subsequent conversations sprouted from there.

 

Over the next 30 days, two of the 30 conversations resonated with him and the individuals ended up becoming mentors, which helped lead him to a new and exciting opportunity.

 

If you're job searching, you’re unsatisfied with your current job, or you have a sense that there is something else you should be doing, do your own 30 Chats in 30 Days. I guarantee you will be introduced to many incredible people and will learn much about yourself. It could change your life.
