Main topic of the Show: Find Your Special Sauce

Why?

What do I mean by Special Sauce

I started out as a food blogger – ended up a podcaster and facilitator. 

How to find it:

• What do you love?
• What do you hate?
• What are your naturally great at?
• What are you naturally bad at?
• What do other people tell you you are good at?
• What have you tried?
• Why did it succeed or fail?
• When you are happiest, what are you doing? Why does this make you happy?
• Wait 2 weeks and review
• Tear this down to its base elements

Ex – happy at the farmers market (great at talking to people, tells good stories, quickly establishes trust, etc)

Happy in the Garden (comfortable being alone, excellent observation skills, etc)

>>>Go out and try, learn, refine, analyze until you find your Special Sauce or Sauces

I started out as a food blogger – ended up a podcaster and facilitator. 

• Used to sing rock n roll
• Started a food blog (could NOT motivate)
• Became a facilitator and story expert
• Tried podcasting for the heck of it
• Realized some things: Performer, facilitator, teacher and storytelling with a heavy musical/verbal focus = podcasting and teaching, not blogging and WRITING.

My special sauce is Story Telling, Connecting People/networking (from others), Reading People/Facilitating.

Every year, we have a new insight from LFTN22 adn this year is no different. This year was the workshop I envisioned when I first had this crazy idea. It took FIVE years, heartache, hardship, injury, recovery and more to make it to this point, but we arrived!
