Thought Partner Defined

One of my favourite activities is being a Thought Partner!

I love helping you figure out how to identify opportunities which can set you on the path to your ideal job.

You may be wondering "What the heck is a Thought Partner, Chantal?"

According to Rania Anderson who published a guest post in Forbes on this topic back in 2012:

"A Thought Partner is someone who:

1. Challenges your thinking.

2. Causes you to modify or change your paradigms, assumptions or actions

3. Has information or a way of thinking that provokes you to innovate or otherwise leads to value creation in your business, career or life.

A Thought Partner is different from a Thought Leader. Thought Leaders are people who are clearly and widely recognized as leading experts and visionaries in their field."

Thought Partners may also be Thought Leaders, though generally, they are not. Thought Partners are usually people who possess information, knowledge, or 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗼𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂. Your Thought Partners may arise from within any area of your life; you just have to engage with and listen to them. When you can attune yourselves, there is music to be made."

What's in it for you?

Job Seekers:

As your Thought Partner, I can help you move from feeling stuck and having trouble finding a good job, to finding your ideal work for good wages, in an organization that shares your values and supports your career aspirations.

Entrepreneurs:

As your Thought Partner, you can safely share your ideas with me, I'll act as a sounding board. I may know of resources or be able to introduce you to folks that can help you reach your business goals.

Let's make music!
