Finding Your Angularity Challenge: Course Overview
In "Finding Your Angularity Challenge," you’ll use our Clarity-to-Impact framework to go from uncertain to unstoppable by uncovering your unique value.
Section 01: Curiosity Meets Growth
We’ll start by taking a closer look at the trends shaping your industry and identify areas of growth that align with what excites you most. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of where opportunities lie and how your passions and skills fit into the bigger picture.
Key Points:
1. Defining Industry Growth
Let’s start by exploring what’s happening in your industry. Are there new technologies emerging? Have you noticed shifts in consumer behavior or growing demand in certain areas? Growth can be broad, like an industry-wide trend, or very specific, like a niche opportunity you’ve spotted. The goal here is to understand where the momentum is—and where you might want to go.
2. Aligning Growth with Curiosity
Next, let’s connect the dots between what excites you and these growth areas. What draws you to certain trends or opportunities? This is where you’ll focus on areas that not only exist but also energize you. Think of this as finding the overlap between what’s out there and what sparks your interest.
Section 02: Finding Points of Connection
From there, you’ll take a close look at your existing network to figure out where you already have access—or an entry point—to the growth areas you identified in section 1. You’ll also begin identifying challenges or unmet needs in these spaces, laying the foundation for how your unique value can fill those gaps and open doors to new opportunities.
Key Points:
1. Mapping Your Network
Let’s start by visualizing your network. Who do you already know that’s connected to the growth areas you’re excited about? This step will help you identify existing relationships you can leverage. Maybe it’s a former colleague, someone in your LinkedIn network, or even a friend-of-a-friend. Mapping these connections will uncover opportunities for collaboration or ways to deepen those relationships.
2. Identifying Pain Points
Now that you’ve mapped your network, let’s dig deeper into what’s happening in those growth areas. Are there challenges or unmet needs your connections are experiencing? These pain points are golden opportunities for you to step in with solutions that align with your skills and expertise. Understanding these gaps will help you position yourself as someone who adds real value.
Section 03: Defining Your Angularity
Now, you’ll identify how your skills and experiences can solve unmet needs in your growth areas, and then craft your Angularity—your unique value proposition. By the end, you’ll have a clear narrative backed by proof points to position yourself confidently for outreach and professional conversations.
Key Points:
1. Solving the Pain Points
To define your Angularity, start by aligning your skills and expertise with the real-world challenges and unmet needs identified in Lesson 2. This step ensures that your unique value directly addresses the most pressing issues in your growth areas. By understanding how you can solve these challenges, you’ll create a focused, actionable value proposition.
2. Defining Your Angularity
Once you’ve aligned your expertise with the challenges, pinpoint what sets you apart—your Angularity. This is where you uncover the unique intersection of your skills, experiences, and achievements that differentiate you from others. With this clarity, you’ll begin crafting a narrative that positions you as a leader and problem-solver in your field.
