Discovering Your Calling - A Strengths-Based approach to career and life fulfillment, success and joy!

Sheri Miter- Strengths-Based Career Coach & Visionary Strategistsherimiterco.com

Are you yearning for more than just a career? Do you crave a life filled with fulfillment, joy, freedom, choices, and meaningful impact, all while earning the income you desire? Welcome to the Discovering Your Calling podcast, where dreams meet reality and your vision for a better life comes alive.

Are you:
- Tired of feeling unfulfilled in your career?  
- Torn between making an impact and having a balanced life?
- Awake at night, pondering whether to pursue a new degree, switch jobs again, or finally start your own business?**  
- Excited by the challenge of something new but hesitant about the risks?

Hey friend, I get it! You are in the right place.

This podcast is designed to help you tap into your natural talents using CliftonStrengths (AKA StrengthsFinders) so you can be thrilled about your career today and the endless possibilities for your future. Imagine a future brimming with purpose and joy, not just in your work, but in your relationships, well-being, and hobbies. It’s a journey of self-discovery and personal growth that I’m excited to take with you.

I’m your host, Sheri– a wife, boy mom, gramma, and former top network marketing leader turned Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. My journey began in the network marketing industry, where I discovered the power of Gallup’s Clifton Strengths Assessment. While this understanding propelled me to the top, it also revealed the mismatch between my gifts and my career. Despite outward success, I felt the inner turmoil of wasted talents and knew I had to pivot, even though the path wasn’t clear.

I spent three long years navigating this uncertainty, following the wrong “experts,” and investing in courses misaligned with my values. Ultimately, I realized that joy and success in my next career would only come from aligning my natural talents with my life's vision and mission.

From this revelation, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, developing a process to clarify my purpose and align it with my God-given strengths. Now, I’m excited to share everything I’ve learned with you through this podcast!

If you're ready to navigate your strengths, embrace a career change, and discover your true calling, this podcast is for you. This isn’t just another self-help podcast. It’s a guide, a companion, and a source of inspiration on your journey to career purpose and fulfillment.

So, lace up those shoes, pop in your earbuds, and let’s get going! Join me on Discovering Your Calling, and let's create a life of freedom, flexibility, and impact together.
