The purpose of work is to express the soul
As the buds of spring are emerging from their winter hibernation, I find myself at the threshold of a profound metamorphosis—a leap year, 2024, where I embrace bold action to magnify my impact and honor my calling. Join me on this exhilarating journey as I redefine both my career and personal narrative.
Allow me to reintroduce myself—I am Jenn Todling. At the very essence of my philosophy, I hold a sacred belief: the true purpose of work is to express the soul. A seasoned transformational leadership coach and soul igniter, my mission is to empower gentle spirits with bold ambitions, guiding them to make a resounding impact and share their unique gifts in the most meaningful ways.
For two decades, I've navigated the intricate landscapes of the professional services industry, from a partner in a global BIG 4 public accounting firm to a transformational leadership coach for the past ten years. This journey has bestowed upon me a unique lens to support those seeking transformation. Now, as I leap into a new chapter, I seize the opportunity to fully express my soul in the workplace.
Our soul is our secret sauce—an exquisite blend of strengths and values that make us uniquely special, like the fingerprint of our essence. When we fail to express our soul at work, life may feel monochromatic—a grayscale existence lacking the vibrancy of joy, energy, and the strengths waiting to be unveiled in the workplace.
Magic unfolds when we cultivate environments that nurture our uniqueness. Stepping into our zone of genius, we arrive at work highly engaged, motivated, and excited. Our secret sauce becomes the catalyst for extraordinary results, contributing to the brilliance of our organizations.
The question arises: How do we express the soul?
I believe the key lies in understanding, recognizing, and leading with our strengths and supporting our team members in doing the same. Together, we can live with purpose and bring our full, authentic selves into the workplace.
To express our soul, we first need to unravel the tapestry of our unique strengths. Tools like Gallup StrengthsFinder and Working Genius are portals that illuminate our individual and collective strengths, guiding us strategically in roles and assignments. These tools unveil the symphony of our team, orchestrating a harmonious blend that celebrates strengths and reveals any gaps to be filled.
I invite you to share your soulful expression and resonate with the symphony within you.
If you seek a thought partner or wish to collaborate in this transformative space, let's connect and embark on a journey to ignite your soul and transform your leadership path!
Together, let's infuse the workplace with the magic of our unique essence!
