Dear Friend

 

If you are like many people, you know the value of discovering your passion and having a solid direction in life.

 

Imagine how empowering it would have been when you were in high school or college to have had the benefit of a resource that helped you work out what you wanted to do with your life.

 

Here is an excerpt from the book that addresses just that point:

 

“A man (or woman) is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” Bob Dylan

 

 

What if  you could be doing anything in the world that you wanted to be doing… What would that be? If there  were no limitations… If money was not an obstacle… If education was not an obstacle… If family obligations were not an obstacle… What would your life look like?

 

“What do I want to be?”  provides a thirteen-week program that guides you from where you are through the journey of discovering your passion and realizing your potential.

 

Rather than ‘telling’ you what you should or could be doing with your life, “What do I want to be?” provides you with the basic tools and then challenges you with a series of exercises and questions to help you understand and then embrace the power of passion.

  

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain

“What do I want to be?”  will show you how to:

 

  • Explore your life’s purpose 
  • Gain new confidence in your own creative powers 
  • Discover the power of focus 
  • Clear the clutter in your life 
  • Ask better questions to get better answers 
  • Dissolve self-limiting thought patterns 
  • Turn your aspirations into reality and 
  • Live the life of your dreams! 

“I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.” Mark Twain

 

Whether you have a vague idea of your passion or no idea at all, “What do I want to be?” will work with you through the process of not only discovering your passion, but  also  putting into practice the steps necessary to actually live your passion.

 

  • What if you really could start your own business..?   
  • What if you really could become a doctor, lawyer, psychologist..?   
  • What if you really could teach English in China..?   

 

You can do it!  All you have to do is take the journey. Ready..?

 

 

 

Who is this book for..?

 

This book is written for students to help them find their place, their purpose, their passion!

 

 

 

“I know I’m only in high school but …your book… helped me know that I have lots of choices but only some of them are what I want to do with my life because only some of them are my passion.

 

My family don’t have a lot but they want me to be happy. I didn’t think I could ever go to law school because I didn’t think we could afford it so like it says in your book I didn’t let myself want that.

 

Now I know there is always a way even if it might take me longer. I do want to go to law school and now I believe I can.” Brittany, Student 

 

What Do I Want To Be? Is a careers guide structured in journal format to enable teens and college students to increase their self-confidence, discover their passion for life and inspire them to truly believe they can achieve their dreams!

 

Rather than tell students what they could or should do, Inspirational Australian Author and Speaker, Leigh St John uses the power of strategic questions to elicit answers from within our students, to discover their own answers and their own passions.

 

While working through the chapters, students simultaneously create a journal/workbook they can reference and use to develop a personal roadmap for life, a solid foundation to build on, and a personally discovered passion for life.

 

Once students can realize their individual and collective potential, they begin to be more engaged in their school work, their future, and aspire to positively contribute to their lives and their communities.

 

Are you a Parent?

Parents will also find inspiration by being a collaborative partner with their children, supporting and reinforcing their chosen passion. With a common defined goal, parents can now clearly fortify their child’s objectives and proudly enjoy the journey together.

 

 

What will I find in this book..?

 

Although you could simply sit down and read the book through, it is designed as a ‘workbook’. You are encouraged to carry out each of the activities and answer each of the questions. It is also designed as a journal. There are spaces for you to write your responses, your thoughts and even doodle and draw if that is what you need to do in order to tap into that part of your brain that is hiding your passion from view. 

 

 

You will also find a series of quotations from other inspirational people. If you would like to access these quotes and others, you can view them by clicking here.

 

 

You will find that this book is about more than just discovering your passion and working out what you want to be. It is focused on helping you to realize your potential and be the best you that you can be. 

 

 

You will learn to let go of the past, reward yourself for your achievements, acknowledge your strengths and develop a belief that you really can achieve anything to which you set your mind – and don’t worry if you are like many students and you are not sure what you are good at – we’ll guide you through that process.

 

 

“Thank you for letting me have an advance copy of your book. I’m one of those people who have too many passions.

 

I used to feel totally overwhelmed because I love to do many different things. Your book helped me find that there was a single core passion in the middle of it all and I am now clear on what I want to study.

 

Thank you for bringing me out of my overwhelmnedness.”    Maricel, College Student


 

 

Testimonial From A Teacher Using the Book:

RE: Leigh St John – Author

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

I am a current teacher at (available upon request) High School with a Masters in Education Administration and Supervision.

 

Recently, some of my students had the privilege of working through Leigh’s book and experiencing her personal coaching. As a teacher who truly cares about the well-being of the whole student, the results were more than gratifying.

 

Some of the students became engaged in a new way and asked questions that demonstrated they were actively exploring their opportunities. Some of the students came out of their shell and shared personal stories and poems they had written. Every one of the students was motivated by the experience.

 

The careers’ guide, “What Do I Want To Be?” is a wonderful resource and I * LOVE * it! What it does for our students is guide them by asking insightful questions to help them find the answers within themselves.

 

I have known Leigh for a short period of time; however, during our time shared, I have experienced her positive rapport with my students as well as people of all different ages. My students truly enjoyed her inspirational, motivational personality.

 

She has taught at one of the world’s top business schools, been a successful entrepreneur and yet came from a very disadvantaged upbringing. That “eclectic background” as she calls it gives her an ability to relate to the students because she knows where they are at and what they can be, no matter their current circumstances.

 

Leigh is extremely organized, efficient, and competent. Her resume is very impressive and she is able to share that wealth of knowledge and experience through the book and in her presentations. No matter what the circumstances are Leigh has a positive and encouraging attitude. It is for these reasons that I offer a high recommendation for her and for her book without reservation.

 

If you have any questions, please contact me at (address and email withheld from publishing and available on request).

 

Sincerely,

 

Cheryl M. Burns

Masters in Education, Administration and Supervision
