No Handbook on Giftedness!
Whether it is your team, your boss or your kids, or yourself, misunderstanding "smart people" can be a real problem.
Do you know how much conflict is generated in teams because the Visual Spatials and Auditory Sequentials see the world totally differently?
Moody, Aloof, defiant, Fragile, Argumentative, Arrogant, Condescending, Overly Emotional, Self Absorbed, Finicky, Needy, Disorganized and so many more...
All these descriptors of gifted people that point to the lack of understanding we have about what come with the package of Giftedness.
Join us to learn the complexities of Giftedness that will allow you to be successful with all the gifted people in your life.

The Bastardization of Purpose
I was talking to a client a few days ago about his team and getting them to the next level. We started to talk about Enabling Purpose through Relationships© as a possible solution. The more we talked the more I realized that we were not meaning the same thing when we said “purpose”. I meant the individual’s purpose in life. He meant the team’s purpose or the company’s purpose ultimately a rallying cry or a way to get employees more engaged and productive.
So, I got it, “purpose” has been morphed into the latest management trick or fad. But it is being used to jazz people up and squeeze some more productivity out of them, not to lead a meaningful life. When I explained what we do in EPTR© or other courses to assist people to identify their purpose in life, he said “Oh that makes way more sense!” Purpose is not something you find at work. It is something you bring to work!
Susan didn’t start Susan Van Vleet Consultants®, Inc. to discover her purpose. It was just the next best way for her to express her purpose. She had been living her purpose her whole life and had expressed it in different ways at different times of her life. She brought her purpose to SVVCI® not the other way around. When I joined SVVCI® I brought my purpose with me that I had been expressing in multiple ways since I was 6 years old.
This is some dangerous mischief trying to find your purpose
at
work. This is the new burden for millennials. You
must
have meaningful work or you are a failure!
As long as we are here can we PLEASE STOP BITCHING ABOUT MILLENIALS! They are not broken, lazy or entitled. There is nothing wrong with them. They are simply a product of the world they grew up in just like all the rest of us. For my parents it was The Great Depression and WWII. For my generation it was Viet Nam, the sexual revolution. For millennials I think it is the Great Recession and the Big Lie that more education will make you more successful so borrow as much as you need to get those Degrees. Hence crushing lifelong debt.
I think they will be known eventually as the Betrayed Generation. The one where the promise of the next generation having a better life than the last, was broken. If you are not already convinced you know everything about this generation here is a link to the best article I have ever read about understanding millennials. I challenge you to check your millennial bias at the door prior to reading the article.
Titled: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation by Anne Helen

than any other generation they have been told to go to work and to find their purpose: so look out!
Your purpose should be universal and available every minute of the day. My purpose is to “reduce suffering” which can be expressed by a kind word to a cashier who appears to be having a rough day as well as a participant in a high level class.
It proposes that the American work ethic has gone a bit mad and collided with economic realities and social media fantasized expectations to create a anxiety ridden generation, with no shot at the American Dream of owning a house and having a job with decent benefits as previous generations did.
Long story short know your purpose and bring it with you where ever you go. Never let anyone sell you on joining their purpose without yours as the foundation you walk on. Please educate yourself on millenials, I am tired of the complaining.
As always we invite your comments.
