  1. Episode 10: Liberating Your Purpose - The Pattern at Play with Kiran Yoliswa

    5 DE JUL.

    Episode 10: Liberating Your Purpose - The Pattern at Play with Kiran Yoliswa

    In today’s episode, the tables are turned and our producer Hiwote Getaneh is interviewing host Kiran Yoliswa on her career journey through the stages of The Possibility Pattern. Join us for another conversation where we put together the whole pattern, and share the insights that are applicable no matter which stage you’re in. As an integrative change coach, I noticed that many of my clients, as well as my friends and family would go through a similar pattern of steps when they were working their way through a big transition. It’s also the transformation journey I’ve gone through multiple times as I navigated multiple career changes from working in the nonprofit world, to becoming an entrepreneur, working at an investment fund and most recently as a leader at Meta, one of the world’s biggest tech companies. And now - coaching people back into alignment with their true purpose.  In this conversation we talk about: * The importance of balancing strategic thinking with intuitive and somatic knowledge as you navigate change * Why it can take a while to realise that you’re feeling dissatisfied, and what might be causing it * How getting clear on my values led me to my job at Meta * Breaking out of the trap of excellence and finding my zone of genius * Navigating the transition phase of a new beginning and what I would have done differently * Shadow work, what it is and how it can lead to career breakthroughs * What it looks like to use your gifts as your guide when you’re feeling lost * Taking a sabbatical after leaving corporate employment * How reaching embodiment in one area of life can initiate new transitions Subscribe to The Possibility Pattern newsletter here to receive the whole framework upfront: https://thepossibilitypattern.substack.com/welcome Hang out with me on Instagram This is a public episode.

    Episode 9: What it Looks Like to Pivot Successfully - The Pattern at Play with Hiwote Getaneh

    In today’s episode we’re putting the whole pattern together with an interview with Hiwote Geteneh, The Possibility Pattern’s Exec Producer, on her journey from working in public policy to becoming a podcast producer. Her story is filled with insights that no matter what journey you’re on, there is some wisdom here for you. Join us for this conversation that serves as a beautiful illustration of what it looks like to be going through these kinds of transformations and transitions, filled with ideas that you can take away from her story and implement in your journey yourself. Hiwote Getaneh is an audio producer curious about stories that help us better understand ourselves. She has produced the New York Times show Together Apart with Priya Parker, Where Should We Begin and How’s Work with Esther Perel, and TED’s Far Flung with Saleem Rashemwala. She is also the host and executive producer of an upcoming series on Black Joy. Trained in public policy, Hiwote worked for years as a Senior Research Analyst before veering from the traditional path to explore her research and strategy sensibilities in the media world as a Senior Marketing Strategist for brands like Mic and Afropunk. She is an alumnus of Virginia Tech (BS) and Johns Hopkins University (MPA). In our conversation we talk about: * How she got started in public policy and how she knew it wasn’t for her * Why she stayed even though her intuition knew she was on the wrong path * What led her to creating her first podcast and how that took her from dissatisfied to transitioned * How you want to be seen can hold you back from what you enjoy doing * Her transition into the media industry and leveraging transferable skills * How shooting her shot finally landed her a full time job as a podcast producer * The importance of aligned action and letting go of perfectionism * How she identified her strengths and started aligning her projects to her strengths * How getting to embodied as a producer led her into another transition to become an entrepreneur Where to connect with Hiwote: * Instagram @hiwote.getaneh * Depth & Candor website This is a public episode.
