the other six sides
I have been part of an online networking group since 2005. The woman who runs the group (Liz Ryan) recently posted this exercise, which I thought was very interesting. I would love to know about any of my readers' other six sides!
**************
From Liz Ryan: You're going to list six jobs you'd hold, if you had six lifetimes in which to hold them (or if you could find a way to juggle six identities in one lifetime). No details -- just the list, please. Thinking through WHAT ELSE COULD I DO? is a good way to understand which pieces of ourselves are trying to be heard and felt and energized. Here's Liz's list. I'm a workplace commentator/consultant/coach/writer now. If I had six more sandboxes to play in, they'd be these:
Broadway performer
Radio talk-show host
Visual artist (drawing & painting)
Coach/teacher to opera and MT performers
Shoe designer
Screenwriter
*************
My response: In my daily life, I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend and a software support technician. If I had 6 lifetimes and unlimited funds to be something else, I would have these professions, in no particular order:
1 - reading teacher to illiterate adults in the US
2 - philanthropist to get clean drinking water to every person on the planet
3 - residential architect
4 - fundraiser for cancer research (other than breast cancer)
5 - home organizer / interior decorator
6 - second soprano in the Colorado Chorale
How about you?
