The realisation that things need to change
Perhaps you’ve found yourself at a point in life where your situation just isn’t a good ‘fit’ with your goals or values. You want something more satisfying or challenging, but aren’t sure it’s worth letting go of what you already have. What if you make a mistake? What if you fail?
The journey toward transformation
Moving in a new direction with your life feels uncomfortable and overwhelming at first. Without a good plan or the support of others, the journey can be treacherous, making many people lose faith in themselves and abandon the goals they started out with.
I’ve been on this journey too
Years ago, I held a position in a high-profile company. Despite my enthusiasm for the work, I found one particular project overwhelming and confusing to the point of extreme stress and sleepless nights. For some reason I wasn’t fitting in with the prevailing corporate culture. Any attempts at doing so came over as awkward and forced, alienating me from my colleagues.
I eventually left and began working for a consultancy that provided leadership training programmes. My work involved a lot of psychometric testing and I gained a deep understanding of the importance of assessing and understanding your personality, work style and aptitudes and making a plan that utilises your unique qualities.
Through taking some of these tests myself I was able to see why the culture of my previous workplace hadn’t been for me. While I’m someone who seeks the harmony in a situation, the company I’d been working for a had a culture that sought to find the ‘gaps’ or problems. This made the workplace highly combative and stressful, particularly for someone like me, who aims to build relationships and connections. Like any bad relationship, that job and I just weren’t right for each other.
Do you find the gaps or the harmony in a situation?
There is no ‘right’ answer to that question, only one that fits you as a unique individual. Regardless of the answer you would give to this or any other question about yourself, the hidden traits they uncover are the unique ‘set of tools’ you have at your disposal to reach your goals.
Once I realised that I didn’t have to change who I am, the world became an easier place to live, and so will you.
Getting to know myself better also helped me understand how others were different from me. This was the beginning of UbeU.
Now, this site is not all about psychometric tests – that’s only one of the tools in the box. This site is dedicated to providing you with the support and resources you need to uncover your unique gifts, gain the confidence to pursue your goals and commit to a personalised action plan.
It gives me so much joy when people gain the skills and insight to help them grow.It also brings me great satisfaction to be on point with my mission – which is to encourage others to be the best they can be and have fun with it. This is why I coach, train and design UbeU’s unique programmes.
With UbeU’s unique training programmes and supportive culture, the life you always wanted is well within your reach, too.
