How to Find Your Zone of Genius

The Innovative Therapist

Episode 129. I have loved this quote from Howard Thurman for years:

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

The concept of Zone of Genius was introduced to me 2 years ago and I find it so incredibly helpful. So today, I’ll be sharing it with you.

Without further ado, let’s dive in!

What to Expect in this Episode

I cover:

  • What is Zone of Genius and why should you care about it?
  • Where I initially learned about it
  • What are the 4 Zones to understand, and what does it mean if you are stuck in your Zone of Competence or Excellence
  • What are some questions to ask yourself to help figure out your Zone of Genius
  • How can you move towards working more in your Zone of Genius?
