My conversation with Jeff Perry is all about that. Jeff is a leadership and engineering coach. He takes me through some exercises to find my genius zone and uncover some self-limiting beliefs that I may have.
Key Takeaways:

Quotes:
“Intention is a choice. So that’s where some of the clarity stuff comes in. So all of us have the potential to do a lot of different things, right? But wouldn’t we align what’s possible with what we care about and who we want to become? Then that potential can get unlocked or directed in the right place.” Jeff Perry
“There are going to be opportunities and conversations and challenges to we can’t anticipate, and some of those might actually be great, but as you’re able to Move that or analyze that through the filter of your core values and the things that you really care about, then that allows you to say, Hey, this is something that I do want to, to pursue and try out, but it still needs to be a choice, rather than just sort of defaulting to what’s there.” Jeff Perry
“flow does not have to be an isolated experience. In fact, very often it is a connected experience with other people.” Jeff Perry
“We need people in our lives who know us, who care about us, and who can. Believe in us when we’re having a hard time believing in ourselves” Jeff Perry
