    CAREERS for Big Picture Thinkers: Live Panel Discussion on April 26 in Los Angeles

    Thank you to everyone who came to our live event "Careers for Big-Picture Thinkers." More than 100 people attended and we live streamed the panel portion of the event (see below). Please note that we do not stream the interactive portions of our events, to respect everyone's privacy and because you have to be there to fully experience the Repurpose Your Purpose difference.

    Find upcoming events here.

    Are you a big-picture thinker? Do you hate working on little details but thrive when working on large complex problems?

    Big picture thinkers face specific challenges when looking for a fulfilling career. For once, they cannot "work their way up," as often by definition they are terrible at entry level or very detailed work. They also have a higher than average need to be creative and can get easily bored or distracted. They are visionaries, big problem solvers and can make great leaders.

    Sounds familiar? If you feel stuck at work, or in your business, you might be a big picture thinker trying to do the work of a detail-oriented person. I wrote a blog post about this topic, see if it applies to you 🙂

    Careers for Big Pictures Thinkers

    Discover what to look for in your next career as a Big Picture Thinker:

    • Learn how to find a fulfilling career that WORKS FOR YOU
    • LEARN FROM SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGERS who already took the leap - and landed successfully
    • EXPAND YOUR NETWORK

    PANEL TALK + AUDIENCE Q&A + START EXPLORING YOUR OWN CAREER JOURNEY AS A BIG PICTURE THINKER:

    • What you absolutely need to have in your CAREER to feel fulfilled
    • Why most career ADVICE out there will not work for you - and what will
    • How to think BIG, instead of suppressing that side of you
    • Whether ENTREPRENEURSHIP is right for you

    Meet and hear from big-picture thinkers who changed careers - leaving jobs that didn't feed their spirits to embark into professions or businesses that they love and feel passionate about.

    Psst: This is NOT going to be your typical panel discussion

      I was wondering if you could write a little more on this
      subject? I'd be very grateful if you could elaborate a
      little bit more. Many thanks!

      I have been working as an Executive Assistant/Project Coordinator for years and I SUCK at it. I have an MBA and the chops to manage projects but working my way up through the ranks has been a disaster. I just got laid off from my job and was feeling like a failure when I read your article about Big-Picture Thinkers and it really clicked. I live in Bozeman, MT, and I don't have the funds to fly to LA. Would you consider a webinar version or maybe a phone bridge for this April 26 event?

      Thanks!!

        Hi Tonya,
        Thank you for reaching out. I might stream the program live on Facebook, not sure yet. But I am taking your suggestion to host a webinar to heart, that's a great idea. I know it can be tough without a job, a big hug ♥
