Course Guide: Lesson Descriptions

UNIT 1 - WHO AM I?

Lesson 1 - Introduction

An introduction to the One-Week Job project and the themes explored in this course.

Lesson 2 - Self-Knowledge

Your success and fulfillment depend largely on self-knowledge - knowing who you are, what you’re good at, what you like to do, and why you do what you do.

Lesson 3 - Values, Strengths & Gifts

In this lesson you will identify your top values, strengths and weaknesses.

Lesson 4 - Passion and Purpose

Discover your top five passions and create the most powerful and succinct definition of your current life purpose - what you have come here to do and what drives your greatest passion.

UNIT 2 - WHAT DO I WANT?

Lesson 5 - Your Best Life

In this lesson, you will design your ideal life. It will likely change over the years but having an idea of what your best life looks like provides enough direction to get started on making it happen today.

Lesson 6 - Find Your "Why"

The people who are most fulfilled in life know why they do what they do – they are connected to the meaning behind their choices or actions. In this lesson, you are going to find your “why”.

Lesson 7 - The Meaning Of Success

The predominant vision of success in our society is that the size of your bank account and the things you own become the standard by which you measure the value of your life. In this lesson, we’ll explore what it means to be truly successful and you will determine your unique definition of success.

UNIT 3 - WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP?

Lesson 8 - Informational Interviews

In this lesson, you’re going to develop a list of careers you find interesting, perhaps even your dream jobs, and then research people in your community who currently hold these positions in order to conduct an informational interview.

Lesson 9 - Dealing With Fear

How often do you base your choices on fear? How often do you base your choices on what other people think? In this lesson we’ll explore how you can use fear as a tool instead of a compelling reason not to take action.

Lesson 10 - Permission

There is an underlying belief in our society that your worthiness is not a given, that you must prove it, causing many to seek acceptance, validation, and permission. Permission to exist. In this lesson, you will uncover this false belief and create meaningful goals for the next five years.

Why is this so important?

The people who are the most fulfilled in life all have a great understanding of who they are.

They know what makes them happy, they know their values, their strengths, skills, unique gifts, passions, they know what’s important to them – then they make decisions about the life they want and how they want to make a contribution to the world based on this self-knowledge.

Many people will go their entire life without examining who they are, what their purpose is, and how they want to make a contribution to the world.

Think about it – this is your life. Don’t you think that a high priority on all of our lists should be determining what our life purpose is? Why we are here? And yet this is a conversation that rarely happens.

Wayfinder is designed with this in mind and is focused on the development of self-knowledge, examining the questions "Who am I?" "What do I want?" and "What is the first step?"
