Stephen Spielberg made his first feature move at 16, yet even he advised to listen for a whisper rather than wait for your dream to shout to you. You would expect the creator of the BFG, Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park to know he wanted to be a movie maker.
Perhaps even Speilberg had doubts about his career choice, or wondered if there was something better for him.
Charles Kingley said:
It is tricky to find a job you are enthusiastic about. Those jobs don’t shout out to you.
As career professionals it is our role to help people to:
- Become Aware of opportunities for enthusiasm
- Explore career pathways to happiness
- Help them to engage in work they find interesting
- Repeat 1 – 3 until they find something to become enthusiastic about.
Using the Model

- Are they looking for something totally new?
- Do they know what they want, but not know how to get there?
- Are they interested in their work but want to refine their target for the future?
