Why You May Not Become Just Anything You Would Want To

You can become anything you want to become in life as long as the environment is conducive. Whether you agree with this perspective is not the issue, but that is precisely what was propagated in a professional forum on Thursday 28^th April 2016. “The problem is that people may not be working hard enough, especially when the environment is conducive,” said the presenter.

Apparently, everybody seemed to be in agreement with the presenter’s sentiments except yours truly. He could not believe that anybody can just become anything just based on conduciveness of the environment. It’s no wonder then that he’s the only one who stood up to clarify what he had heard.

Me: Having listened to you and read your writings as well, what is your position on talent alignment with particular reference to brain orientations?
Presenter: That needs to be subjected to research.
Me: Thank you; I rest my case.

On Friday, yours truly was coincidentally involved in a training session of trainers for the Professional Trainers Association of Kenya. He has conducted those sessions since 2009, when the association was formally launched. During the sessions, he takes trainers and all other participants through a very interesting and also challenging work ethics moderation exercise. The same has been subject to several published articles and it eventually inspired the writing of the book titled “Career Dynamics in the 21^st Century,” whose theme is unleashing the human performance potential.

One of the participants in the Friday training was a lady who had pursued a bachelor of commerce degree specializing in accounting. She had also completed the Certified Public Accountants – CPA qualifications to boost her professionalism. Helen was eventually exposed to a work environment, which enabled her to multitask in accounting, administration as well as human resource matters. After 4 years of multitasking, the trained accountant finally found her passion and settled into the human resource discipline, thus putting accounting qualifications into virtual disuse. Helen had therefore sought to equip herself with training as well as consulting skills during the Friday Seminar, which had started on Thursday.

The story of Helen resonates very well with yours truly. He was initially an accountant who ended up losing passion in the career. In his case though, he hadn’t been exposed to a situation of multi-tasking in other disciplines. He thus took a longer process of discovering his passion through re-empowerment with new knowledge. The same has enabled him to become a passionate trainer and author as well as strategy adviser/columnist, during the last more than one decade. In fact, he is able to influence the direction and performance of not only organizations, but also make presentations in churches of various denominations and other social forums, irrespective of the number of participants. Such feats never happened when he was an accountant.

Consequently, is it the environment that we get exposed to or alignment of our personalized intellectual as well as physical talents that will enable us to become what we desire in life? Anybody who has read the book titled “Career Dynamics in the 21^st Century” can confirm that it provides a route map towards greatness rather than the very prevalent guesswork or trial and error procedures that most people have been subjected to, while seeking to understand themselves. Those who attend our requisite talent alignment oriented training solutions get even better deals, don’t they?

Meanwhile, would you want to know how you can take your organization to new levels of growth and progress in a highly volatile environment?
