Personal Success Foundation (PSF) Framework
TRANSCRIPT OF VIDEO:
When I designed the Success Foundation Series (that curriculum), there are three realms that I really focused on – that are unique to each person.
The first one being Talents. So, what is your natural wiring? What are your natural patterns? When we work in line with our Talents (those things that are easiest for us to think, feel, and do), there still needs to be some development and directing of it. But when we work through our Talents, that’s what’s going to offer to us the greatest potential for mastery.
A lot of times people feel like they should have this other kind of talent or society values these other kinds of talents. When you’re actually working with your own talents, that’s going to give you the greatest potential for success. So that’s one realm I focus on.
Another one is your Motives (or your Motivations). A lot of times people don’t dig deeper as to why they do things. Is it satisfying a need? A value? What are some of the beliefs behind it? What are you looking to get out of something? Are you doing something because it’s something natural within that you want – that aligns with who you are? Or are you doing it because you feel obligated to someone else – whether it be a person, a sense of responsibility to an organization, or maybe your job? It’s the responsibility that you have.
So, getting some insight there on your Motives… as well as that ultimate one is: your Intentions. What is that path for your life that you want?
If we’re working out of our Talents, we’re not working in that realm that’s going to give us the greatest potential for success and mastery. If we’re working outside of our personal Motives (and Motivations), we are depleting our own energy because we’re doing things that are not aligned with who we are. And if we’re working outside of what our Life’s Vision is, we might not know what that is right now, but we have clues as to what direction that is. If we’re not working in alignment with that… Yeah, we can work our day-to-day lives and get through, but we’re not working in alignment to the direction that we want to go in. And again, over time, in the short run – you could be OK. You could be distracting yourself. But in time, you’re going to be depleting yourself. You’re going to be feeling resentful. There’s something inside of you that’s not going to be satisfied.
So as far as my work and the work I do with others, those are three realms that are very different for each person. And I’m looking at each one: their Talents, their Motives (or Motivations), and their Intentions, and the overlap between the three.
Because my focus isn’t just about you being able to make decisions for yourself. It’s about you being able to live your life in a way that fulfills you, that energizes you, that you’re excited about, that makes you feel confident to make decisions for yourself, and that gives you tools so that beyond the Series (beyond our time together) – as you’re moving forward, there are things you can refer back to and check in with yourself as to what’s the best path forward or the best decision for you to move forward.
My name is Elvira Marie Chang, and I’m a Trainer and a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. I offer one-to-one coaching, as well as workshops, a live interactive online series (which is where the concepts I was talking about earlier in this video are used in the curriculum), as well as an online course (with a similar foundational curriculum).
So if you have any questions – whether it’s about your Talents or your Strengths, your decision-making, or any of the topics in this short video, feel free to reach out to me. Connect with me. Send me questions. I look forward to talking to you. Thank you!
