Good evening, Jenny Guy here. Welcome along. I can see some people starting to come in now, just watching the numbers go up.
Brilliant, so. We've made it to the beginning, yay, finally got to the, to the starting point. I've been so super excited all day and really, really looking forward to getting going.
As you can probably hear, I have a slight bit of the remains of a cold. I had, successfully, so I thought, dodged all the winter bugs so far this year and was feeling really quite smug about the strength of my immune system. And then I went to London last weekend for 3 days of coach training, and I don't know whether it was being on the underground or what anyway, I got properly taken out at the end of last week.
So, I was quite ill over the weekend, but I'm better now, but just forgive me if I'm, I'll try not to cough too much during, during, tonight's session. OK, so, just a few housekeeping bits. Apologies for any hassles with people joining into the Facebook group.
It looked like it was really easy to add people into a Facebook group. There was a box, it said, put the emails in, and we did the same thing for everybody, for all 25 people, and got 3 different results for exactly the same thing. So some people got their invites and got in straight away.
Some people got the invite and it didn't work, and some people just didn't get the invites. Having sprouted several new grey hairs yesterday, we've now figured out that it's, it's all to do with various different privacy settings in Facebook that are really hard to, to adjust. So I think pretty much everyone is in there now, my apologies for, for the challenges.
And then with coming on the webinar tonight, hopefully, most of you received your Zoom link yesterday, and there are about 5 or 6 people who didn't. Anyone else who didn't get that yesterday, if you can just drop me a line and let me know, and Dawn's looking into that from Webinarett and Zoom's end, because that normally comes out from Zoom. Anyway, like anything, when you're launching it for the first time, and it's the first time Vet Harmony and webinar vet systems have had to interact as well.
There's occasionally the odd technical glitch, so thank you very much for your patience. We're ironing these things out as quickly as we can and it's great to be finally getting going. OK, so, we've got the chat box on tonight.
I do want to keep this interactive. I'll keep an eye on the chatbox. If there's anything that you want to ask, any comments, anything like that, just pop them in there and I'll have a check of that at the end.
And you can set it to all attendees as well so that everyone can see if you want. Right then, without further ado, the self-inquiry system, let's get going. So we're starting.
If you cast your mind back to the Masterclass webinar, we've split the course into two halves, which is the research section and the mindset section. So we're starting with the research section. And if you remember, we need to be researching data in 3 different directions through this first half of the course.
So that's internally, externally, and then into the options. So we're starting with that first chunk of research, which is looking within and turning that, that, Our thoughts kind of internally into the self. So of the 10 commandments of veterinary career mastery, then we're starting with know thyself.
So know who you are. Let's start peeling back those layers and just get back down to you underneath that role of being a vet. But before we get going tonight, I just want to do 2 or 3 minute kind of breathing and mindfulness exercise just to ground everyone, get us centred and just transition, get the transition through into, the, the session this evening.
So don't worry, I'm not gonna go too woo on you, and if you've never done any mindfulness or meditation, it's super easy and it's only 2 or 3 minutes. Because I'm very aware that some people will have just not long scurried in the door, having come back from work. Some people, those of you that are parents might have been doing after school stuff and kids' tea time and bedtime and whatever.
And some of you might not have been working today, but you might have been busy doing other things and have quite a busy head. So I just want us to hit pause and ground and centre in because this evening's session. It isn't like a highly educational learning CPD session.
This is your time. This is a period for self-reflection with my support, and it's a special time for you. So now, without further ado, now, if you're driving, if you're driving at the moment or you're listening on the repay and you're driving, then just hop forward 2 or 3 minutes.
Don't do this if you're driving. But if you're not driving, just pop your pen down, put your paper down, get yourself comfortable in your chair. If you have your legs crossed, then uncross them, pop your feet down flat on the floor.
With your hands, you can just pop them into your lap, preferably with your palms turned upwards. And just start to pay attention to your breathing. Not trying to change it at all, just observing it.
And if it feels OK to do so, you can gently close your eyes. If you don't want to close your eyes, that's fine. You can just gaze at a point a few feet in front of you and just let your eyes become gently unfocused, so you're not staring at anything in particular.
And just breathing gently, paying attention to your breathing. And then just being aware of any sensations that you have in your body this evening. So any aches or pains?
Any sore bits? How it feels, the point of contact between yourself and whatever you're sitting on. Just anything like a gurgly tummy, tickly throat.
Just paying attention and being aware to the sensations within your body. And then also listening out for any sounds that you can hear. So can you hear the noises of other people elsewhere in the house?
Maybe you've got a dog in the room with you, and he's snoring. Maybe it's cars going past outside. And again, you're just paying attention, having an awareness, letting those sounds come in and go out.
And then we're gonna pay more attention to your breathing and start to deepen your breathing a bit, so taking nice, steady, deep breaths in, pushing your tummy out as you breathe in. And a nice long slow breath out. And on your next in breath, I want you to imagine a beautiful white light coming in through the crown of your head and that light coming down into your heart's face.
And then as you breathe out, I want you to imagine that light going down your body, down your legs, through your feet, through the building that you're in and into the earth, right the way down into the earth. You can imagine that you have roots extending from your feet down into the earth, grounding you and holding you securely there. And then on your next in breath.
You can imagine that beautiful white light coming back up out of the earth, up through your legs, through your body and back into your heart. And on your next out breath, you can send that light up and out through the crown of your head and up towards the sky. And then you can continue that pattern in the rhythm of your own breathing.
So breathing in through the crown of the head down to the heart. And from the heart down the body and into the ground. And then back up again.
And every time you breathe in, I want you to imagine you're breathing in calm and relaxation. And as you breathe out, you're just releasing any stress, any tension. Anything that you need to let go of from your day.
And just a couple more breaths. Nice breath in. Slow breath out.
And I want you to set the intention for this evening's session. That you will hear exactly the right messages that you need for you in the right way for you to hear them. Just hold that as an intention.
And then I want to start bringing you back into the room where you're sitting. Start to be aware of the sounds again. Any sensations in your body?
You can start to wiggle your fingers. Or just move your legs a bit. And if you had your eyes closed, you can just gently open them.
Just have a little bit of a stretch if you need to. Oh, hello, we're back in the room. OK.
How was that? Everybody feeling a little bit calmer, hopefully not too freaked out. And hopefully you're not all asleep as well.
It's always a bit of a danger. Doing a nice relaxing breathing exercise later on in the evening. But that's a really nice little technique that you can use any time that you just want to ground and centre yourself with a bit of a focus, at the end of the day.
Because sometimes I find pure mindfulness, it's a bit, if you've got a busy head, it can be quite a challenge. Right, now that we've done that, we've set the tone for the evening, let's dive properly right in. So, the first place we're gonna start is with the self.
Now of those 3 research sections, obviously, I could have started with any of the 3. So why are we gonna start with, with us first? I'm just gonna share a slide.
I've only got 2 slides to share with you this evening. The rest of the time just be me talking, so I'll just share those and pop that up. OK, so hopefully you can still see me and see the slides as well.
Where's my chat box gone? Ah, there you go. Pop the chat in there so I can still see you.
Hi, Louise. No, there weren't any slides. There was just me.
Then we've got some slides now, but only a couple, and then it'll be back to being just me again, just so that I can see you. OK, so we're starting with the self. And the reason that we do that is to, you're welcome.
Is partly because of the vet identity takeover that we talked about in the Masterpass. So, I'm gonna just talk you through this diagram. Now, any of you that might have seen my career confidence webinar will be familiar with this, but I don't know if everyone's seen that, so I just want to run through it.
And this is a concept that we will come back to a couple of times on the course. Now, it's kind of how our identity forms as we grow up. And what tends to happen to it.
Now this happens to everyone, not just vets, but I think as vets and nurses we're particularly susceptible to some parts of this, and it's the reason why it's really, really important that we start with ourselves and we start with values. So when we're born, we come out knowing exactly who I am. So when you, you know, when you think about babies, they don't have any shame, they don't really have any worries.
They're very, very good at clearly articulating when they need something. And those of you who are parents, or even not parents, you know, as vets, we've all delivered live young. When you hold something that's just been born in your hands.
You just know that it has an inherent worth because it's been born. It doesn't have to do anything. You, you would never kind of look at a child and say, Well, yeah, you're kind of OK, but you'll have more value when you can walk or once you can talk.
We just, there just is a value in in having been born. So we, we come out kind of knowing that. But then what happens as we grow up is, generally, usually well-meaning, parents, caregivers, teachers start to give us some different messaging.
So, generally, when we're being disciplined, we start to hear, we start to get a sense that our lovability is a bit conditional. So if I smear poo all over the nursery as a baby, then I seem to be less lovable. Or, you know, as a teenager, if you come in home late from curfew, you seem to be a little bit less lovable.
And there's messages of not enough. Continue to come kind of through growing up in school and our, our times at university and then into work. So we start to get these, these concerns or worries, or this layer of doubt or fear of kind of who I'm afraid I am based on not who we are, but just the messaging, some of the messaging we receive when we're growing up.
But most of us are too canny to wander around letting that hang out for all to see. So we add this other layer around the outside as well, which is certain behaviours or acts. And this is our kind of outer mask, if you like.
So it's who I present to the world as, and kind of who I pretend to be. Now, what happens over time, and I think that, you know, particularly with vets and nurses, we can end up with a lot in this middle layer. This is where our limiting beliefs live.
And I think that the unique pressures of our job can add a lot of extra stuff into that layer. So over time what can happen is we start living and acting from this outer ring here of sort of who I, who I project to be to the world. But secretly we're afraid that at any point people might find out that I, that actually I'm this person, which is who I'm afraid to be, and we forget, we forget this inner part of who I really am.
That incontrovertible bit of you that is always there, that doesn't need fixing, that isn't broken, that is perfectly imperfect, just the way, just the way it is, that we forget that. And we, we kind of start thinking we're this person as well. So this is the reason why we need to start with the self, because it's not about removing these two layers, they are part of who we are as well.
And it would be unrealistic to kind of expect that we can completely dissolve them. But what I do want to start doing is just punching some holes back through them to tap you back into that part of you that has always been there and is always there, and is always available to you, that knows exactly what you need, that knows exactly what's important to you and where the answers are actually are. So it's about, yeah, tunnelling back through and just starting to connect you back in with that.
. OK, so that's why we start with that. And it's also part of the, you know, if you want to come from a more authentic place, then we need to go back to figuring out who, who that is, in there. Sorry about the car alarm noise.
Sounds like someone's been broken into you next door. Oh, good, it stopped. OK, so, again, from this, why, thinking about the self, that's great, but why do we start particularly with values?
Values are really, really super useful. So these are some of the answers on the questionnaire. Thank you, everyone, for filling in those welcome questionnaires.
I think we've pretty much got everyone's back in now, and they've just been really, really interesting to read through. In there, there's that question at the end that says, 2020 is the year I do. And these are just some of the things that that came out.
So people were saying, find my place. This is the year that I stop worrying, I find more joy and happiness, feel happy and content, spend time with the people I love. Just feel better, start believing in myself, sort my head out, be kinder to myself, rediscover my mojo.
Buy a house, find a direction, change my job, get some balance, figure out my values, feel more engaged, be brave enough to change, stop planning, start doing, be more authentic. So, you'll notice there's a bit of a pattern here. And out of all of the responses that came in on everyone's forms, yes, there were some people who had sort of quite specific goal or achievement-based goals, things like buy a house or take a specific veterinary course.
But they were in the minority, probably 80 to 90% of what came out in that sentence were more feelings, wanting to feel a different way, wanting to experience different emotions to what that that person was experiencing right now. And those are values. And even for the people who did have very specific goals in that section, if you start to sort of ask the question, OK, well, why is that important to you?
Why do you want to do that? And unearthing the answers to that question, and they're going, well, why that? Why that?
You will eventually get to a feeling. So taking a house purchase, for an example, that might come from several different values. That might be someone wanting Some security, some stability, so a value of safety or security.
It might come from a place of connection, so wanting to put down some roots in a community and connect with people. It could come from a few different directions, but behind that desire will be a value. And pretty much all of our goals that we material things that we want and goals that we're seeking come because we want to feel a certain way.
So we all have values and you're all kind of acting through them, but this is about definitively working out what they are, so that you can actually start to use them as a guide and a compass. The other thing is, there were a couple of people who were kind of like, I don't know what 2020 is the year I, I will, because that's the whole point. I don't have any goals and I don't really know what goals to set.
And for those people, values is even more important. Because kind of because of the way the subconscious works, and also going back to that point from the very first masterclass of there isn't just one thing that's gonna be the right move for you. So when we the the way our subconscious works, it's kind of like having a genie that you can that will make your wishes come true, provided you tell it what you want.
So, when you can work out what your values are, which is what that first exercise of the four that go with this module helps you to do. Then you can, you, that's sending a message to your subconscious that these things are really important to me. And all of you will have very slightly different values.
So you might look at that values exercise and go, well, surely everyone will group them like that, but it's so not the case. It amazes me how from the same set of words, every person that I do this exercise with will group them in a slightly different way that's completely unique to them. So when you know your values, then, even if you haven't got a clue where to start, you really don't know what goals to set, your subconscious will be more attuned to things, you noticing things that are in alignment with your values.
So that might be adverts or, an article in, in the Vette Times or song lyrics stimulating something in your head, that type of thing. So that's why we start with values. Now I'm just gonna come out of sharing the slides for a second.
Hopefully that's gone back to just being able to see me again. Hopefully you can see me now rather than the slides. So there's two things really, main things that create our reality.
One is our values and what we think is really important, and the other thing is our, our beliefs. So what we believe to be true about ourselves, our circumstances in the world in general. Beliefs are more challenging to find and a bit more difficult to work to change, although it's entirely possible to do so, and we're gonna do that in the mindset section.
The values are a slightly easier place to start, so that's why I wanted to do these first at the beginning of the course, and they, they're just very, very useful. So we want to work out what they are. We want to examine them.
So, just get a sense of how authentic they, you know, do they really feel like your values? Or once you did this exercise, did you have some that you were like, I really like these ones. I'm not sure about that one.
I don't know if that's just, I think it should be important, but I don't know if it really is important to me. Those are the ones it's worth kind of questioning, and I'll I'll talk about that as we move forward. Once you've worked them out, it's then about looking at, are they serving you?
How well are they serving you at the moment? And do you like them? Are there any in there that you, you want to shift or change at all?
Because our values need to be our compass. When anything in your life is not feeling right, or there's a sense of disconnect or just overtly something that's conflicting you. It will absolutely be because something is bumping up against your values.
So there's something that's really important to you, and you're not getting to actualize that. So, work life balance is a really common one within the veterinary profession with the the length of hours and, And the unpredictability of everything. So if you have a value of balance and being able to spend a good amount of time with the people that you care about, and your job role means that that's really, really difficult, or you're just exhausted all the time, that's a values conflict there of balance is really important to me and I'm not getting to be able to do it.
It's that kind of thing. But it can take courage to live by your values, because sometimes that means not doing what you perceive everyone else to be doing. And being able to own that and know that that's part of you, and you don't have to feel guilty or bad for it, and setting up your life so that it works in, in alignment with your values.
So an example of that for me, is, I'm not built or designed. I don't function very well at 10 to 12 hour days. You make me do 10 to 12 hour days on my feet repeatedly, I break.
If I can do 8 to 10 hour days at a pace that feels right for me, I will be astronomically productive and very creative, and I will do amazing things. But you make me consistently do 10 hour days, my wheels fall off. And that's just part of who I am, and I don't feel bad about that anymore.
I've kind of become OK with it. So that's what I mean by sometimes living by your values means you just have to do not necessarily what actually, what you think everyone else is doing. It's also about the, when you know your values, you can work towards belonging, genuine belonging in groups, social groups, environments, job roles, rather than fitting in.
So with fitting in, which is sometimes what we can end up doing with the vet identity takeover, and it's such a prescriptive career when you stay in the very, very traditional sense of it, that we end up needing to fit into what that role requires of us. So fitting in means how do I need to change myself so that I work and I'm acceptable in that environment. Belonging doesn't require you to change anything, doesn't require you to change who you are.
It requires you to be who you are. So when you come from a place of belonging, when you're living your values, then when you do get into a role where you're, where you can do that, it feels amazing. And actually, if you go to a, to go to try a job role or try something slightly different, and you're going as you, living your values, and you don't fit in.
Then there may be a sense of disappointment about that, but you don't feel any of those, those feelings of, of shame or lack of self-worth, because actually you know you've been authentic, you know you've been you. And so it feels very different. So there's just a few more reasons really why we, we start with values.
So thinking about that first exercise, some of you will have done it, some of you might not have had a chance to, to get to it yet, and that's absolutely fine. Of the four exercises for this module, the values one is the main one to have a go at if you're short of time. The other ones tie in with it quite nicely, but there's no time pressure on those, you can work through them at your own pace.
Like I say, with this exercise, everyone does do it slightly differently. So, for example, some people will, when they're doing the groupings of the words, they'll link security in with financial wealth and abundance. So finances to them mean security.
Sometimes people will also have that chosen that value of security, but they've linked it to family or friends or connections that their version of security will mean something different. So, It, it's, what it can also mean is that the of my clients that do this exercise, they tend to fall into two groups. One group actually quite enjoyed the exercise.
They find it relatively easy, they enjoyed sorting it all out. They could come up with the groupings, and it's, it felt like a good and easy exercise to do, and they're happy with what they've produced. Then there tends to be another group of clients where they are wrestling with it a bit and perhaps, potentially even overthinking, but that's not necessarily a bad thing because it's good to put in the effort with this.
But there are some people where they will find it harder, perhaps they've chosen a lot, a real load of words, and they're struggling with that. Is this really important to me? I, I don't know.
Is it? Is it not? And all of that is absolutely fine, that's completely normal.
So whether you found it easy or whether you found it challenging, both of those experiences are valid. And if you found it challenging, it doesn't mean you've done it wrong. If you're not 100% sure that your values are genuinely you, that also doesn't mean you've done it wrong.
The thing to do with it then is just live with them and keep checking back in with them over the coming months, because when you're feeling good and you're feeling happy and you check back in, you'll be able to see which of those values you're living. And at times when you're not feeling great, you can look back in and see, ah, OK, it's cause that value's not being met. So you can kind of test this out in real life if you're not 100% sure if those values really feel like you.
Also, you can circle back to it after we've done the, the self, self worth piece as well. So just out of interest, of those of you that are on the call tonight, how many have you got? Oh gosh, no, lots of people, 23.
Who found the exercise quite enjoyable and easy and who found it, slightly more challenging. So you can just write easy or find it quite hard, and we'll just see. Of those of you who've done it yet and it may be that you've not had a chance to, to have a go.
Challenging from Rebecca, let's see, oh, I need to move chat box up a bit so I can see, . OK, yeah. Challenging, challenging, quite easy, found it a little hard, challenging, easy, really hard.
Yeah, fairly easy, was enjoyable, challenging, challenging, enjoyed it. Only partway through, but challenging so far, yeah. OK.
So, yeah. So, OK, so, yeah, we've got the exact same mix that I normally see. And some people going, yeah, it was cool.
And other people going, Oh my God, it's really difficult. So, all I just want to validate both of those experiences as completely normal. And for those of you, and Nicola, you've you've done something similar as.
Well, so that helps because you've done it before. Great. And it's often interesting to check back in.
I, I, you don't need to do this every year. They generally don't shift that much. I like to do them kind of every 5 years, but sometimes when I've had a new coach, we've gone through a valuesy thing again, and it is just quite interesting to see if they come out the same.
So, yeah. And it's, it's, for those of you that are finding it challenging, stick with it, because it's a really important piece of work. And, and once you've done it, like I say, you don't have to do it again for, for a few years, and, but you've got it.
And it's very, very useful. It's a really useful part of this jigsaw puzzle that we're gonna build up with all of these different elements where you can then start to join the dots, connect the, the links between them. .
So that's great. Now, of those of you that have done the exercise, did anybody have, have you, do you like all the values that you've come up with, or has anyone come up with a value where they've kind of had to say, I need to hold my hand up and say I have that as a value, but I kind of wish, I'm not, I'm not sure it's serving me, I don't know if I might want to change it, so. Is everyone kind of liking their values so far, or has anyone come up with one that they wished perhaps wasn't as important?
OK, let's have a look. So Nick, OK, no, don't like them at all. OK, that's interesting.
Yeah, so, and you do get, you get to choose, you get, once you've unearthed them, if they don't feel like they're serving you well, you get to change them. You can absolutely shift and change them and work towards that, over time, so. Yeah.
So, that summed it up quite well. Needing recognition, wish I didn't have that yet. It's a really common, common one, Anna.
So I've had a kind before where she had the kind of people pleasing type group or or attractiveness or some of those ones and was kind of like, yeah, I kind of wish I didn't, . Rosy, some too dominant, make you feel bad. Again, yeah, so somewhere you're kind of like, yeah it is important, but I'm not sure it's serving me so well.
Rebecca, like like you, you like yours, that's great. Ah, yeah, Nicola, like your values, but suspect the beliefs getting in the way. Yeah, beliefs really powerful, really, really good to work with them.
That's coming, in the mindset modules, so we'll be tackling them and look you know, tackling them both together is, is really . Good. Louise got surprised with one of hers, but the others were OK, so yeah, and it's just you can reflect on these as we go through .
Oh, OK, Hannah, that's interesting. So you liked all of your, yours. There were some that you felt were shoulds, as in, should you have this value, but actually not really being sure that they're genuinely your value.
So that's really brave. That's really courageous. And it, it's, that's, it's good to do it really genuinely, honestly, because you don't show these to anyone.
And there's no rulebook that says, you must find these things important at all. It just doesn't work like that. So, all of, all of those values are, are OK to have, OK, yeah, so, so lots and lots of interesting insights coming out from reassurance to uncomfortable to all of those things.
Oh, Nicola didn't not like all of them, just some. Yeah. OK, so, and again with where, with some of the narrative you're saying in that way you're saying some of them made you feel boring, like punctuality or dependability.
That's just a story and actually you can rewrite that story from a much more positive perspective, potentially if you want to, and again we'll come onto the technique for doing that, later. Alison, that's interesting, you like yours but you know you're not living into them. Yeah, absolutely.
It's hard sometimes to live into our values because we, we often put other people's needs first. Or we're, we're in a situation where it's impossible to live our values and we're just sucking it up, or we want to. Put a boundary in place or take some action that means we can express a value, but it might mean having a tricky conversation, or, or disappointing someone or doing something that we just, if you're a bit conflict averse, can go, Whoa, that feels, that feels too challenging.
I'll just not live that value, as well. There can be all sorts of reasons. And again, hopefully, a lot of the stuff we're gonna cover on this course will, will help to give you guys the courage.
To start pushing the boundary at a comfortable pace so that you can really step into them, and tweak and change any that that don't feel quite right. Just out of interest, did anyone have any aspirational values on there, so sometimes I've had people where they do this and they go, I'm putting this value on here because it is important to me, but I'm nowhere near actually living into it at the moment, as in, so that might be a little bit what you're saying, Alison, I'm not living into them where people want to express a value, but perhaps aren't quite there yet with, with, with, with really leaning into that. So that can be something that, that you can find as well.
So just to give you a little bit of a story, how are we doing for time, not too bad. To put this in context, the context, the way you can use this, I, I, first came across kind of the concept of values back when I very first did the life coaching. After I joined Vets Now.
And I found it quite interesting. And, but it didn't really put me any further forward in terms of knowing what I wanted at that stage. But then when Vets Now kind of came up as a possible job, I'd always said to my, I'd always said to myself at that stage, I couldn't see myself working for a corporate.
But because I'd just learned about my values and vet's now talk about their values a lot, I kind of compared the two and went, oh, well, they seem to have the same similar sorts of values. So, I, when I, I started working with them. And then, For the first few years while I was working with vets now, I always kind of said I'll stay with them as long as it feels like my values are in alignment.
And that worked really well for the first few years. When I was business development manager, I was doing a lot of travelling all over the country, and I didn't, I haven't met my husband then yet. So that was actually really ticking the box for kind of adventure and travel and doing different things.
And at the same time, vet's now come as a company were living their values in a way that I felt really comfortable with. And then what happened as it got towards the end of my time there, is there were two things that shifted. One was Vets now has got a new general manager in, and they needed to become more profit-focused because they were really having a very dodgy financial wobble for a while because the company just wasn't profitable.
So, I understood that it had to become profitable, but the sort of the ethos started to change a little bit. And it changed in a direction that wasn't in alignment with my values anymore. And at the same time, I had met my now husband and suddenly didn't want to be living out of a suitcase and travelling all over the country.
So my personal values had shifted a little bit as well. And it was at that point that I just started to get that feeling of, nothing's really changed with the job, but I'm just not sure I'm happy anymore. And being able to look back at my values and going, oh, that's why then.
Was helpful, although even it, it's, it's often, it's helpful to be able to see why. But when you very first get that inkling that something's in values conflict, it's also a bit frustrating because you don't always immediately have the answer. I certainly didn't then in terms of like, OK, I know I'm not, it's not quite right.
I've no clue what I need to go to next. And that's when you then need to deploy the rest of the processes that we're gonna run through on, on the course. So it's an early warning sign, really, getting out of values alignment.
And then I had another value shift when I was at Vet Dynamics after I had my daughter, when I initially went back after maternity leave, but then quite quickly realised that the job that I'd left wasn't in alignment with how I wanted to parent, and again, I knew I needed to shift. So they were really, really good, it's really good to use your values in that way. So recognising when something's not quite right, looking at it.
And then just using that as at least be a trigger to yourself to go, right, something, I need to change something. What is it? How can I?
And then taking the time to work through the rest of the techniques. So I think that's making sense to everyone. So, how to use them once you've created them, get really clear, it's about getting really clear about how you want to feel on a day to day basis and how you want to feel week to week, month to month.
And and to see whether you're currently living in alignment with that, and if not, what areas need to change. It's useful when, when we get to the point where you're starting to evaluate what possible shifts and changes and options might be available to you. Again, you can look to see if you're comparing contrasting two potential options, which one is gonna get me closer to what my values are and are there either of those job options that are directly in conflict with any bit of my values.
So it's a good thing to use like that. Also, for those roles where you like the idea of it, but there's a potential downside, as we talked about on the masterclass, check back in with your values. If the downside doesn't really impinge on any of your really core values, it's probably actually not that.
It's probably a very manageable downside. If the downside directly contradicts something that's deeply important to you, it, you might struggle to be happy in that role. So again, it's just you've got an extra piece of data to start comparing and contrasting.
And the other thing, on a practical note at the moment is just, you know, from this moment forward, having a look at what you've created, can you have a look at those values and think, well, is there just one small thing I could tweak right now that would allow me to get more of my values met in the coming weeks? So that might be a change at home, it might be having a conversation with someone. It might be starting.
I've so loved reading what you're all doing outside of work. I can't remember there's one lady that used to do salsa dancing, so I might be rekindling that again. Whatever it is, so have a think, cos there might be a couple of very easy shifts you could do right now that would get more of your values, but I just need to cough, excuse me.
I'm a sweet of a drink. OK. So hopefully this is all making sense.
Right, I want to shift next onto the topic of profiling. So, I need to make my chatbox a bit bigger so I can get rid of that. Close that.
Aha, there we go, more of a chat box. Right, out of interest, who here on the call tonight has had any form of psychometric profiling done? And what was it you had done?
So that's all sorts of things like disc, HBDI, Myers Briggs personality type indicator, Belbin, there's, there's all sorts of different types. So, yeah, who's had it done and who hasn't yet ventured into the world of, of profiling. So Nicola hasn't had any done.
No disc, whereas, you've had your disc, insights profiling, yeah. 0, 4.5 years ago, so a while ago.
HBDI obviously, Jenny, we did, yeah. No, no, mine's Briggs, yeah. HBDI and Belin, of course, Rebecca, yeah.
. No, so we're kind of about fifty-fifty, aren't we, of, so Roz has done Disc and another one. Disin Ms Briggs at school, Ellie, OK, right, quite a long time ago, . Myers Briggs, but can't remember it, yeah.
OK, so we're kind of, just, just over half of you by the sounds of it have had experienced some form of profiling, potentially maybe quite a long time ago, and for some of you, you haven't, yet. OK, so I just wanted to talk around profiling a little bit. And it was quite, when I was designing the course, it was a tricky sort of question, really, as to whether to actually include it and get you all profiled as part of the course.
I decided not to, in the end, exactly because of that question. So, having just asked it, some of you have had profiling done already, and some of you haven't. The, the HBDI that I use, I've had, oh my God, 15 or 16 different, loads of different types of psychometric profiling done over the years.
And I chose to get trained in HBDI because I, for a lot of reasons that I won't bore you with now, but I just think it works really brilliantly for vets, and I really love it. And it's physiology related, which I like as well. So, but it does, there is a reasonable amount of cost involved with doing that.
So I didn't want to just add it on automatically because it would have bumped up the cost of the course, and I was really wanting to keep that as affordable as possible. And also, you don't have to have had profiling done. To be able to move forward with changing and shifting your career.
It is a useful thing, but if, if you haven't had it done, it's, it's not essential. So, I just kind of didn't want to bolt it on automatically for everyone. But I do want to talk about it a little bit so that if you haven't had it done, it may be something that you might want to consider.
So the benefits of profiling, is. Lots really. Where to start?
I mean, the, the give things is starting to get a little bit more of a handle on your own hard wiring. So we, our hard wiring is partly genetic and partly the environment, as you know. And when you, have any form of profiling done, you're just getting a snapshot.
So nothing is set in stone. We have to remember to be in a growth mindset, sort of genetically and environmentally, what you started out with is just a starting point. And it's not about feeling like you had to totally change yourself, but if there are bits of yourself you want to shift and change, you absolutely can do.
You know that from neuroplasticity. But it's very, very useful to understand your current hard wiring, because it really does link in with who you, who you are as a person. So understanding your thinking patterns, how you like to take in information, decision make, communicate back out what your communication style is, the, that helps you to understand yourself, obviously, really deep in self-awareness.
Where it's also really helpful is interpersonally with other people. When I first had the pro started having profiling done, I was like, What? You think not everyone thinks like I do?
Hm. And it, it's just, we have our lenses that we view the world through. And obviously, other people view the world slightly differently.
And the more that you know about that, It can really, really help with tolerance of people that otherwise might be very frustrating or annoying, and where you kind of, you stop feeling like they're purposefully trying to wind you up and you can be like, OK, you just think in a very different way to me. So it can kind of help with tolerance. It can help you to understand why there are certain people that you do connect with and feel like you're on the same wavelength with and why some people you just are never gonna get because they just see things so differently.
And, and being able to sort of know more about that can be quite helpful. It's also helpful when you need to influence people. So sometimes it's part of job changing, whether that's talking directly to the organisation that you work for at the moment, or whether it's starting to have conversations with people in other spheres, or if it's putting yourself forward for job roles and all those sorts of things that can feel a bit icky.
The more you know about the different types of personality or thinking style or whatever it is that particular profile measures. Then you have more tools in your armoury for being able to convince and persuade and connect with lots of different types of people, so whoever you might come across with, in an interview or writing a business proposal or doing whatever it is. The other thing is that if you have any form of profiling done, and the, the two of the so for those of you that haven't had it done and don't want to consider having it done, that's fine.
I've purposefully given you a couple of profiling type exercises in with this module. So, so this module will give you quite a lot of, of useful profiling style data. So, again, I'm not saying you have to go and get it done.
yes, so the useful thing is, as when we get to module 3, and you're starting to identify, find, or even create options for moving forward or potential options, then being able to look at how well they match up to your hardwiring and how you like to think, and what sort of environments you work well in, and what sort of skills and competencies you like to use best is really useful because Sometimes we can be drawn to things that actually don't really suit us that well. And sometimes the things that would really suit us well, that we would actually really enjoy and feel very happy in, and not necessarily always things that we would immediately look at. Certainly, I know when I'd had all the profiling done, I was like, Yeah, that's really interesting.
Great. Still doesn't tell me what I need to go and do, and I kind of shoved it in a drawer and forgot about it. And then when Vets Now first offered me the role of Business Development Manager, I, when I first read the role, I was like, mm, I don't know why you would want to do that.
It didn't really sound very sexy. It had project management in it. I didn't, I'd never done any project management.
And then I sort of fished the profiling thing out and looked at what it said in theory, I, I would be good at and. Enjoy. I looked at the job and went, Oh, you know, on paper, that looks like quite a good match.
And took that leap of faith, and it really, when you, the more you can bring the job role that you do in alignment with how your brain likes to think and who, who you are as a person. The better it feels, the more it flows, the easier it is. And, so yeah, so it can be useful.
And for those of you, Rebecca I see you've had Bell been done, I'm guessing that might have been outside of a veterinary organisation. I don't know, but, certainly if you do step out of the veterinary world, lots and lots of organisations will use psychometric profiling as part of their recruitment process because they're looking to see, are you gonna fit in our team, potentially. Which brings me on to one of the risks of profiling, one of the things that you do have to be a bit cautious with and careful of.
And that's about not pigeonholing. So not being pigeonholed by someone else who's run a profile on you, and also not pigeonholing yourself. So you are not some bit of data that spits off a machine that says, oh, you're in this quadrant, or you're this type of person or you're this code of personality.
You're a person with a life and a history and a heartbeat. So profiling is very, very, very helpful when used in the right way. As in, when I'm profiling people, I'm kind of like, OK, I can explain to you based on your responses, why it's come out this way.
Your job is then to reconcile that with who you feel you are as a person and to say, yeah, that resonates, that feels like me, or no, I don't really see myself in that. So it has to be interpreted in light of who you are. And also, we are flexible, we can be different, you know, we're, we're different people in different situations sometimes.
So you have to be careful not to use it as an excuse to saying, oh, I'm a blue quadrant thinker, therefore, I'm not going to be good at that. And you sort of giving yourself a get out clause. So just beware of the pigeonholing thing.
They're very, very handy, but it's not a label, if that makes sense. The other thing that it can start to help with, along with the values, along with the belief stuff that we're gonna do later on, is uncovering what I would call your superpowers. So what is it that you are particularly uniquely gifted and talented at?
Now for a lot of people, . It can be quite hard to, to know that or own it. So I don't know, it'd be interesting to see who, who finds it quite easy to say, I'm really bloody good at that, or these are my strengths, and I own them, and I'm happy to say that these are my strengths.
Or do you, do people find it harder to kind of feel a bit more self-deprecating and find it a little bit more difficult to Own what they're good at or even know what they're good at. Yeah, I'd be interested to, to hear your, your thoughts. I'm definitely able to say what I'm strong at now, but I don't, I didn't used to be at all.
So I think it can be hard, and especially for, for the women, women within the group, I think we're, we are taught. Not to blow our own trumpets, you know, don't be too ambitious. Yeah, very difficult, .
And over the years I've learned to recognise what I'm good at, yeah, fantastic, great. Some things, yes, Maritta, not, not others. Never been great at owning what I'm good at, yeah, absolutely, definitely self-deprecating, yeah, we, we do, we sort of back things away and go, oh no, it wasn't that hard or whatever.
Yes, Louise, you've hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what I'm gonna come to in a second. So Louise has raised the point that, if what you're good at seems quite easy, you just assume everyone could do it and then you discount it.
Rosie's much better at identifying what I'm bad at, yeah. Isn't it just much more easy, our, our philtres can be set to, oh God, I'm not very good at this, I'm not very good at that, and we forget the stuff that we're absolutely bloody brilliant at, especially if it comes easily. Catherine, I find it difficult to see my strengths.
Alex's not good at saying what I'm great at. I really struggle with this, Eileen, yeah, OK. OK.
So I know at least one of you has heard about the zones, the different zones of competence, excellence and genius, but I'm gonna go over it anyway. So there's a fantastic book by Gay Hendricks called The Big Leap. And in it, he talks about the fact that we all have these various zones.
So we've got zones of competence, stuff that we can do. We've got zones of incompetence, which are things that we should really not be doing anything with. I think social tech, social media tech might be possibly one of my zones of incompetence, but there we go.
And then we've got zones of excellence, so things that we can do, we can do really, really well. And then we do have a zone of genius, and everybody has one. We all do.
If you don't know what yours is at the moment, it's just because you've not looked for it, you haven't joined the dots, you haven't allowed it in, or you've got a shared load of limiting beliefs that I'm not gonna let you see it at the moment, but you have got one. So our zone of genius are those things, it's the unique sweet spot of activities or competencies that just make us feel in flow. That brings up Louise's point.
It's usually really easy. So, something that's your zone of genius, you just almost don't even have to think about it. It just happens in your brain and you just, you just do it to the point that you often don't realise that everyone else can't do that.
Or you think, well, that's so ridiculously easy. Why is that? That's not a genius.
Surely that's, you know, everyone can do that. So we can miss it. And, but it's, it, it's important to start to be able to identify these, these things, partly because, we want to gravitate towards the more that you can be spending time in your zones of excellence and genius and not spending time in your zones of competence, and certainly not in of incompetence.
Then again, you, your life will flow better. Your income generating potential will go up. You will be happier.
You will be of more service, you will be able to give more. We give so much from that space when we're not dragging ourselves down with things that, yeah, we can do it, but it's really draining. It's really tiring.
So when we stretch into areas of our brain that our brain doesn't really like that much, even if we can do it and do it really well, it feels exhausting. We, we just feel wiped out by the end of the day of doing whatever that thing is, even if we can do it quite well. So part of another thing that profiling does is it allows you to have self-acceptance.
It allows you to think, OK, well, my zones of excellence and genius are probably gonna sit in this, these areas, or maybe with these competencies or maybe linked with that value. And then you get to seek out more job roles or, or, or aspects of within your current role that play to those strengths. So it's getting away from the idea that we all have to be omnicompetent and bloody brilliant at everything because it's just not realistic and it's not helpful.
The more time you spend trying to sit in a zone of competence rather than in your zones of excellence and genius, you're just tiring yourself out for no reason. . So, again, I want to challenge you.
I dare you to hunt for your superpowers as we go through this course. And if you're still feeling stuck with it at the end, put your hand up virtually and, and shout, and I will help you with this. So, it, this again, might be one that will be good to circle back to when we've done the, self-belief stuff and the self-wor stuff, because as I say, sometimes there's, it could be a lot of stuff getting in the way.
Of being able to see it, identify it, own it, and, and then move towards it. And it's really, really important. I, I really want to get everybody moving, certainly less stuck and moving more in that direction.
OK. So, as I say, for those of you that, yeah, also the other thing here is resilience. So, resilience is your bounce back ability, and we're gonna talk all about that for a whole module.
And the reason that understanding your hard wiring can help with that is, again, it's about being authentic. It's part of my resilience is not putting myself in job roles where I have to work 10 to 12 hour days. That's not laziness, that's resilience.
That's me working with my hard wiring. And so the most resilient people are the people who know exactly who they are, exactly what they need to stay mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually healthy, and then they line up their lives to work with that, irrespective of what everyone else is doing. And that's a journey.
It takes it takes a long time, you know, it takes time, it doesn't take a long time, actually, have to, but that's where what we're moving towards. So part of understanding your hard wiring is that resilience piece as well. So, the working elements, Exercise I've given you and the desired conditions are quite profile type exercises.
So as you gradually get the time to work through those, they're gonna give you, you know, more of this, these bits of the jigsaw. And anyone who does, I don't want this to sound like a sales pitch for profiling at all, because it isn't. And there's, I'm not the only vet that does, you know, all of those of us in the coaching space in the vet profession will do profiling, there's plenty of options out there.
But if it is something that you want to look into, then obviously you know where I am, and we can have a separate chat out with this course about that. OK, so the actions for those of you that have had profiling done is dig it out, dust it off, have a look through it, bring it into your veterinary career mastery folder where you're collecting all of these bits, compare it to your values, and just keep it there for now, you can massively do anything with it. For those of you that haven't had it done since school days or, you know, 4 or 5 years ago, things might have shifted and changed a little bit.
You're not dramatically gonna have changed as a person, but you can usually see if you've been doing personal development work, you can see the effects of that often. In terms of which things have, have changed. So I hope that's been useful thinking about the profiling side of things.
And then for the last 5 minutes or so before we finish up this evening. I just want to talk about the, the, the final the the other exercise, the timeline exercise, which I know a couple of you have had a go at, some of you may not have done yet, and again, that's absolutely fine. So we give me a drink.
So with the timeline exercise. This, again, it can be one of those ones that can be, it, it's, it's such a powerful exercise. And it's, it's geared along the lines of what we were just talking about a second ago in terms of starting to try and help you to see where your unique gifts, strengths, and talents have come from.
So for those of you that have, so for those of you that have said, I really struggle to see my strengths, to begin with, the first time you try this exercise, again, it might be a little bit challenging, and that's absolutely fine. I'm not afraid to challenge you on this course. I want to stretch you at a comfortable pace, obviously, because it just, it's so good for getting you thinking and you can do it.
. And, but for those of you, if you aren't in that, in that place, you maybe do you find it a little bit easier to, to navigate your strengths. Again, this might feel quite easy. So within the exercise, I'm asking you to look at pivotal moments from sort of each decade of your life.
Now our pivotal moments sometimes are amazing, brilliant, transformative things, and that's fantastic. Quite often though, our pivotal moments can be the, when we hit rock bottom, they can be the challenges, they can be. Those sorts of events that a little bit like, you have to bash the stones of roses to get the water in.
I mean, you don't, you don't have to go through pain to evolve as a person, but just, you know, it's often our scars, are the, I can't remember which philosopher said it, our scars are the parts where the light gets in. So your story matters. Your journey to this point matters, and every step you've taken along that journey so far.
Not a second of that has been wasted. So even if you're, I know some of you are not looking to come out of clinical work and are not looking perhaps to really even change your job, but I just want to feel happier in your existing job. Whereas some of you are more at the point of actually I don't know if clinical works for me, I might want to change, but I'm worried about wasting what I've done so far, and is that a waste if I change direction?
Absolutely not. Every step that you've taken so far will have equipped you with experience, with learning, with challenges and having to have overcome those challenges will have given you resilience. Yes, it will have given you some of your scars.
Yes, it will be easy to see, oh, well, that's why I struggle with that so much because of this. So, so often it's, there is a bit of both with this exercise in that, yes, you can see where the challenging points were. And anything that comes up for you there, I just want you to keep that separately in your journal or write it down somewhere, because that would be really, really useful for us to work through in the limiting beliefs module when we get to, to that section.
But so it's about looking back and as I say, not all the pivotal moments would have been bad, some of them would have been really brilliant times. But if anywhere your pivotal moments were challenging, it's looking back from this perspective here with really looking back with love, looking back with self compassion, so compassion for yourself, compassion for the people involved in the situation, and really looking at it as, even if that experience was challenging at the time, what has it taught you with the benefit of distance from it. Looking back, and, and that might have been, well, I survived it, so I suppose I must be resilient.
That's great. That's a strength. You get to add that to your list of of strengths.
And I gave a few examples in the exercise there. So, and it it it's, it's just The other reason for getting you to start to do this type of work at the beginning is the only reason that when it comes to resilience, you can give two people the same challenging event. One person will find it really, really tough, but they will bounce back quite quickly and then they will carry on and they'll be OK.
Another person might become defined by that event. They really struggle to get past it, it's constantly haunting them and they just seem to be stuck. The event is exactly the same.
The difference between those two outcomes is your level of resilience. So the data of a situation, it is just that, it's this sequence of events happens, that's just data. The only reason it has any form of emotional poke to us is entirely down to how we've chosen to interpret that sequence of events.
The stories are, we're telling ourselves, so the narrative that our brain has created. Which just happens, if you're not mindfully watching for it, your brain will just make up stories because it has to. It's got to conceptualise what's happened.
And we often have a natural negativity bias. So our brain often tells us very fear-based negative stories, if we don't know how to catch them and rewrite them. So part of this exercise is wanting you to get into the habit of practising, not putting a false spin on something, not polishing a turd, not nothing to do with that.
But it's about, OK, if I was to look at that situation, how can I reframe it in, in, in terms of what gifts can, could it have given me? What am I now able to do or no? And that might just be, I'm more empathetic, or I'm more patient, or I'm more.
Tolerant or, you know, what whatever it is. These are all things I want you to be adding into a list of my strengths, my gifts, attributes that I have. And no one's gonna look at it.
You don't have to share it with any, any, anybody, but I do want you to start building it up as a bank. So, I think that's all we need to run through with that. And again, it's, it's your, your own story is what makes you unique.
And it's why we'll be tackling comparisonitis later on, but it's why comparisonitis actually doesn't really work because no one else knows how to be you, the way that you do. And the only contribution you will ever make in on this earth comes from your unique being you. So, OK.
Lots and lots of stuff we run through there. so we'll let that sink in. Obviously, if you, we're gonna do the Q&A session next Thursday.
So if there's any sort of really urgent questions, obviously you can ping them over. But mainly, if you've got a question, then you can either email it to me, or what I'm gonna do in the Facebook group, provided the tech gremlins don't get in the way, is I'm gonna stick a post in there on every Monday before the Q&A sessions on the Thursday. That where there'll be a post, and in the comments you can write your question, that you would like to ask.
I would encourage you to, you might have a natural question anyway, that's great, get it down. You might have 4 or 5 questions. That's also fine.
Stick them in there. Highlight the one that's most important for you. If I, if you really want me to answer one, which one would it be?
And then if you've asked, you know, a few questions, if, if we've got time on that session, I will keep it to a maximum of an hour because it's quite late in the evening to be going on any longer than that. If we don't have that many questions though, and you've asked a few, that's fine, we can work through them. The, the interesting thing with the Q&A sessions is that You will get just as much benefit from having your own question answered as you will really, from listening to other people having their questions answered as well, because often a lot of the challenges and the, the difficulties or the queries that people have will be quite similar.
And, so even if you don't have a massive burning question, it's still worth coming on that session and just listening in. But it is your chance to get a bit of 1 to 1 coaching. Obviously this is a group setting, it isn't 1 to 1, but the Q&A's is where you have got that opportunity to ask me a direct question about your actual situation.
And you don't have to, you know, share everything about your situation if you don't want to, but you can get me focused on that, for that period of time. So, that's, that post will go out in the Facebook group, but as I say, you can almost also email them to me. And with the Q&A session, you can remain completely silent and not seen at all and just have your name as the box and just write your question in.
But if you do want to either put your microphone on and talk directly, or be really brave and put your camera on as well, and we'll see each other, then that's fine. And, and it can, that can speed things up a little bit rather than if I'm direct coaching you and we're typing, you know, well, I won't be typing, but you're typing stuff in and then I'm asking a question, you're typing it back in. Sometimes even just being on, on voice mode, and not being visual, it can just, just speed up the communication a bit.
So. We'll see how that goes, but as I say, if, if you just want to write the questions and answers, then that's also absolutely fine. So I think that's everything we needed to cover in this session tonight.
I want you to have a think about, as the session draws to a close, what's been the biggest takeaway for you, what's been the thing that's resonated the most and sunk in the most? Maybe just jot that down, on your notes. It's quite important to sort of capture any ahas, any, you know, any anything that really resonates because there's a lot of information coming your way over the next few weeks and you want to be highlighting the points that that really sunk in.
So, does anybody have any particular burning questions now, or are you good to wait till the Q&A? So if we don't have any massive burning questions, then I'll probably wrap it up for this evening and just see, is there anything else that we need to run through. I don't think so.
OK. Grand. Right.
Well, is it possible to rewatch this? Yes, Nicola, it will be. So, how do you interpret the numbers?
OK, fine. So yeah, the replay will be, it will be edited tomorrow and probably at some point by the end of tomorrow, then the replay will be available. That will be accessible.
I will try and remember to send everybody out a link. But actually, if you go, if you log into Webinarves and go to the veterinary career. Mastery course, and click on the first webinar, the self inquiry system webinar, then it should be up there and you can go in and watch it like you would a normal, webinar that webinar.
So you can, you'll have a lifetime access to all of these recordings, as well. So Louise, the work elements task, how do we interpret the numbers? Yeah, we're gonna circle back to this one in module 3, but just very briefly.
So on the work elements task, I've given you some different aspects of work, and I've asked you to self-score from 1 to 5. I do this really well, well, OK, not so well, really not well. But you can only have so many 4s and so many 5s, so it's a bit fiddly to fill in.
What we're gonna do, as I say, we're gonna come back to this exercise again in module 3. What you're wanting to do is probably grab a highlighter once you've finished it and highlight your 4s and 5s. Once you've sort of highlighted the fours and fives that you've chosen, so the things that you really feel that you're, you're good at, or that I forced you to say that you're good at if if saying those things is quite challenging, then I want you to look at them and, and put a circle around any of the ones that you also really love.
So of the different attributes of work, cause some, because competency and passion are not the same things. Sometimes we're really good at something because we have to be, because it's part of our job. But actually given half a chance, you're not really that bothered about it, or you wouldn't wouldn't want someone else doing it.
So look at your 4s and 5s and circle the ones that you also really, really enjoy that you could happily spend ages doing and it wouldn't bother you. And that might be all of your fours and fives, but it might not, so it's interesting to know. The other thing is looking at any of your ones or twos.
So if, so things that you've said, I really don't do that well, or I don't do it very well. Cool, thanks Louise. Then if that's in an area that you have absolutely it's not part of your job, it's not part of anything that you're thinking of going into and it's kind of a bit irrelevant.
That's fine, you know, quite often with, with veterinary folk, they'll score themselves quite low, low on things like creativity or conceptualising or novel innovative ideas, because it's not a thinking style we use in comparison to, say, designers or product designers or whatever. And if that's not an area that you want to move into, that's fine, totally inconsequential. But if you're a vet and you've scored yourself a one for analytical, and that's the type of thinking we do a lot in the consult room all day, well, that's just, it's just about being curious about that.
And and again, this is, this, with all these things, it's about then joining the dots. Of saying, OK, where's my values conflicts, where am I out of alignment with my hard wiring? Where am I being forced to work in a competency, a work element that I don't really enjoy, or I don't feel I'm good at, and joining those dots.
So hopefully that makes sense. But we will circle back and look at that again when we get to module 3. Fantastic.
OK, guys, well, that seems to be it for questions. So if there's no further questions, then I'll say thank you very much for for coming on tonight. We've still got everyone on, that's great.
The replay will be available. I'll get your next module stuff out to you within the next couple of days so that you can start on that as well. And, then yeah, we'll gear ourselves up for module 2 in a couple of weeks' time.
OK, so I'm gonna say goodnight to you all. Enjoy the rest of your evening and I will see you again very soon. Take care.
