FIND YOUR PARTNER
GET YOUR PARTNER UP TO SPEED PICK A TIME AND A PLACE The best partners are innately curious, which makes them great at listening and great at asking follow-up questions. Someone trying to get to know you a little better will almost always ask more probing, unexpected and thoughtful questions than someone who thinks they already know everything about you. Remember, to find your WHY you need to pan for gold in the river of your past, recalling stories of your life and career from which your significant themes can emerge. Only you can retrieve those stories from your memory, but when it comes to interpreting them, a second set of eyes and ears—a partner—is invaluable. Listening to your stories, your partner can offer a perspective that is nearly impossible to see for yourself. Finding the right partner is an important part of the process. That doesn’t mean you must find a trained psychologist or coach, just someone who genuinely wants to help you find your WHY (the “Partner Section” here will teach them how to do the rest). The role of the partner will be to take notes as you share your stories and to ask questions that will help you find deeper meaning and significance in them. The partner is there to help identify the golden thread, the recurring themes and ideas that are the basis for your WHY. You don’t have to know your partner well, but we recommend that it’s someone with whom you feel comfortable sharing personal information and feelings. Though counterintuitive, we don’t recommend selecting a partner who knows you too well. In our experience, spouses, close relatives and best friends have a hard time being objective. You don’t want someone who may be tempted to either tell your stories for you or correct the ones you tell. The best partners will be hearing your stories for the first time. They will be someone who will listen and take notes as you recall your stories. Again, they are someone who genuinely wants to help you discover your WHY. Download 3.55 Mb.
