Are you the gift or the gift-giver? 

This question made me stop and hit play on my guest’s LinkedIn video post. 

What I heard next has shifted everything for me and I know it will for you too.  

Before you hit play on this episode I want you to know why this episode is so important. 

If you’ve been listening to Reframe to Create for any amount of time you know I always encourage you to create with your gifts as the key to reframing your entire relationship to work. 

But if you’ve felt something is a little off for you it might be because of what Travis Lee Howard will dig up today. 

Not knowing if you are the gift or the gift-giver might have led you into roles and positions that are misaligned with who you are at your core. 

And you’ve probably been paying a hefty price for it. 

But that can change today.  

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How to tell if you are the gift or the gift-giver? 

• Why distinguishing which one you are is so important 

• Key steps to take to get realigned according to which one you are

I really believe this episode may be just the thing you’ve needed to unlocked and make sense of your entire work experience and journey.
