This episode delves into what happens when we see ourselves for who we are, not for who we do. Reinvention is about dreaming beyond your current position, company, and title. Reinvention requires that you see yourself more broadly, embrace change, and believe that who you are— your gifts, passions, and talents are what the world needs. If you are someone who is feeling like it is time for more, time for a change, this episode is for you.

What I learned from Ava Duvernay & Michael Phillips about the power of purpose and reinvention, and why it’s never too late to take the journey.

Question Why:  

Why I am called the “Queen of Reinvention” and how reinvention, like purpose, is a journey, not a destination.

Three points on why this matters: 

• You are more than a position, company, role. 


• You have gifts that the world needs.


• Fulfillment is waiting on the other side of your reinvention journey.

Pour the Glass Moment

• How the COVID-19 pandemic advanced our conversation about and connection to reinvention

Three Tips on How to Do the Thing

• Dream about who you are and what you want to be doing. 


• Begin to see and identify yourself as more than what you do every day. 


• When you feel the urge or get the opportunity to do something different, don’t ignore it. Go for it. 

Encouraging Word & Homework 

Don’t be afraid to do something new. Reinvention can be reinvigorating. It opens you up to so much. You don’t have to wait to retire — reinvent now.
