Discovering Purpose and Sharing Perspectives

3Ps In A Pod is about discovering purpose, connecting pathways and sharing perspectives.  I have been working with connecting young people to opportunities for over 10 years now and it's allowed me to see a whole lot, learn about what I think are disconnections within education and the workforce, and disconnections with individuals knowing about opportunities.  I think there's a lot of ways we  can help solve those disconnections. Purpose: I grew up not really having any idea of what my talents were and pretty insecure about really having any. It turns out that a lot of things you may take for granted about yourself,  are the very talents you've been given. If you invest in your talents, they become skills and lo and behold, you can do things for a living that you're actually kind of naturally wired for.I knew some things I wanted to do but didn't really believe I could do them, but I could.  So I want to help young people find out what their talents are, a bit about their own purpose and enjoy the pathway. Pathways: When you think about pathways, you may not have a very good idea of what the options even are. So it's hard to know what the heck you want to do if you don't even realize what's possible. So at different times in this podcast, different episodes, I want to share, various pathways. Sometimes there'll be interviews with people from different industries or different organizations and you'll get to learn about those. Perspectives: Then there's perspectives. That's a favorite topic of mine and a favorite word of mine lately, because boy, it's a time to be learning. It's a time to be listening to new perspectives right now in our world. A perspective is a point that you're viewing from, how you're seeing something, the angle you see it from.  However I grew up or however you grew up that became your "normal."  How we learn is kind of, line by line precept upon precept. We build experience. The downside of that is that you can lock in so strongly to the way you learn something or what you now have accepted as reality that you no longer see other options. That's the downside of  a single perspective.  I share a bit of what I learned while volunteering in jails and prisons for five years.I realized  each one of us have filters on how we hear. We have filters in how we think and when we say something, we assume everyone hears it like we mean it.  We assume, somehow, that others have the same perspective that I do. It's powerful to listen. It's powerful to learn, to see from someone else's perspective. In future episodes we'll have conversations and share stories and touch more on that. I just think it's too important not to include. Please click subscribe and give me feedback. Tell me what you want to hear about.  You have more potential in you than you've ever thought possible.
