Sue Frederick is a career intuitive. Frederick used to be a traditional career counselor, but now she helps her clients find their ideal work by leveraging numerology and intuitive guidance. Her book, I See Your Dream Job: A Career Intuitive Shows You How to Discover What You Were Put on Earth to Do, is an interesting read. While I don’t agree with all of Frederick’s methods (e.g. numerology), I agree with many of her assertions about the best way to find your passion.
For example, Frederick is not a fan of using career aptitude or personality tests. There are a lot of tests out there that career counselors will use to help you determine your ideal career. I’ve taken a lot of these tests, like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Kolbe Index, and the results can be very interesting. These tests can often explain your ideal work environment, your temperament, and the types of people you work best with. This is important and I am all for using these tests for these purposes. However, they don’t tell you a damn thing about your passions. Nor do they help you figure out what really makes you happy (which can be different than what you are good at).
I also agree with Frederick that once “your work is in alignment with your true mission…, your work will be successful and attract abundance–against all odds.”
My take is that you already know what you are passionate about. You just need to listen to your intuitive mind and your body. REALLY listen.
