From Stage 2 (S2) of the Passion Pays journey: Build Your Expertise, Naturally

Have you ever wondered what would happen to you if you lost your job? Whether you’re working for yourself or for someone else, whether it’s your clients or your boss keeping you working, our current world of work does not guarantee that they will still keep you tomorrow. This is the illusion of security I refer to in my book Passion Pays. Gloom picture, I know. But if you perform a strong reality check, you can make the right adjustments before it’s too late and you can feel confident about your present and your future.

This is exactly what we are doing in this week’s episode. In the previous episode, we worked on being clear on what you really want, and such clarity will make things easier here.

Join me with guest, career coach Meera Shah (see her details below) in this pratical, yet fun-filled episode on Thursday 07th March 2013 at 7pm GMT. Meera and I are giving 3 specific exercices to give you the best chance to, not only keep your job, but most importantly to be confident of your own abilities to get the job that you want.

For the COURAGEOUS and COMMITTED ONLY

Would you like some help to follow this episode and complete the exercises? No problem. Every week, I help personally and for free, the first two people who email me with their homework. You can also comment below and I’ll do my best to reply.

I have prepared some bonus tools to make your life easier and give you the structure you need to focus.

From Stage 1 (S1) of the Passion Pays journey: Understand Your Passions, Fundamentally

Many people don’t know what they want or they want much less than they deserve. But if you don’t even allow yourself to find out what you really want, you don’t stand much chance of getting it.  How can you ask for what you want if you don’t know what it is? How can you convince yourself or anybody else if you don’t have the clarity that comes with your determination?

In the first (much anticipated and much belated!) episode of the new Get Passionate Radio show, we are addressing the soul-searching question: “What (on earth) do I really want to do (with my life)?”

In this two-part episode, I lay out the 5 steps that I applied to go, in  one week, from a blurry idea and uncertain future I couldn’t even formulate, to finding 3 helpers, 4 strategies, a list of role models and a roadmap to carry out my vision. If you want similar or better results about the next steps in your career, you do not want to miss this episode. You can listen to part 1 here and part 2 here.

EPISODE 23 – MUSIC COMPOSITION

If I tell you Jaws, what tune comes to your mind? In fact if you hear that tune even while walking in the forest, you’ll be turning round, automatically scared of the shark coming at you! (yeah, a “forest shark”?) That’s the power of music in films and other works of art, it blends in and brings out emotions.

Click here to listen to this episode of the Get Passionate Radio Show with Paul Wilkins, whose music, for example, brings to life my book trailer and who shares great insights into music composition for movies, games, trailers and gives us the ingredients to be successful. I also talk about the new show’s formula for 2013 (you don’t want to miss it!)

Get Passionate Radio

The ‘Get Passionate’ radio show is returning after a successful trial year, this time with a brand new formula! A daring one. I, your host, Genevieve, GenieCoach, Gen, am committing to also apply the show’s tips into my own life. I’m ready to back YOU up! Can you back YOURSELF?

Don’t worry, there will still be guests and stories from inspiring people who are walking the walk and talking the talk. However, you will now be encouraged to create your own life story from the tips, inspiration and guidance of the show.

I have been helping many people seeking a life or career change and there are two factors that set apart those who are still enjoying great success. One: constantly exploring new ideas and two: following through with confident action. I want people to experience for themselves how these mere two factors can change their life and there is no better way than leading by example.

Rather than following a monthly theme, the show is now based on one of the four stages of the Passion Pays journey that I lay out in my book “Passion Pays: How to Make a Living From Your Passions… and Change the World Too”. The four stages of the book will be followed over four weeks:

–Stage 1: Understand Your Passions, Fundamentally

In week 1 shows, you will be given numerous tips to explore your view of the world and understand themselves better.

– Stage 2: Build Your Expertise, Naturally

In week 2 shows, you will be able to follow through and learn different ways to maximise their skills and potential by cultivating what Genevieve calls “the opportunity and growth mindset” as opposed to the “adversity and breakdown mindset”.

–Stage 3: Deliver Your Value, Powerfully

In week 3 shows, listeners will build on their individuality, knowledge and skills. They will actively connect with the right people and start making things happen confidently. Guidance and tips on dealing with fears and tools on communication will be prevalent here.

–Stage 4: Get Paid, Rightfully

In week 4 shows, listeners will be guided through powerful strategies to put everything together and “sell their value” in the job market. Listeners will also get to appreciate their fulfilment needs.

More information on the four stages can be found on the Passion Pays book website: http://passionpaysbook.com.

Let’s have a fabulous 2013!

What is the main obstacle now facing art students? How can an artist brush off critism and rejection? How can you get into art galleries? We all know about the “starving artist”. But if you are an artist, you certainly don’t want to be a testament to this all-too-famous figure. And you certainly can succeed.  Listen to this episode and you will get answers!

Join us on 06th Sept 2012 5pm BST with Nikki Stevens, full time successful artist since 1996, specialising in watercolour. Leaving art school with a degree in 3D design, Nikki was a Goldsmith/Designer Jeweller before making a leap into advertising (Young & Rubicam) and film and tv set design (BBC). Although she frequently paints animals, does not consider herself to be a ‘wildlife artist’.

Nikki’s work is in many private collections in the USA, France and Holland as well as the UK. She is also in the collection of Freshfields Bruckhaus Derringer and is represented by Cricket Fine Art, London, where she will showcase a solo gallery exhibition “Fierce Friends” from 25th Sept to 06th October 2012.
