Thrilled to welcome #YouMap creator, Kristin Sherry to #thePOZcast to talk about her journey and how she created YouMap. Those unfamiliar with her journey: I was a manager in a passionless job. Career fulfillment eluded me. I was called to more but didn't know what "more" was. After reaching a breaking point, I was desperate to know why I dreaded going to work. A mentor led me to an eye-opening discovery. I made changes based on what I learned. I added things that lit my potential and removed what limited it; including leaving a six figure job. Today, I've achieved purpose-driven success by aligning my "how, why, what and who" to my work.My journey created a mission: To help others know their Four Pillars of Career Fit™ to reach their potential. I created YouMap® to help highschoolers and adults see the unique contribution they bring through their strengths, values, preferred skills and personality.
