De wereld is een beetje ingericht op het zijn van een expert.

Een specialist.
Met een niche.

Als ‘Multipotential’ voelt dit vaak als een uitdaging.

Je krijgt regelmatig te horen (van anderen of jezelf ;)) dat je geen expert ben in iets, want – zo is de gedachte – je vindt veel (verschillende) dingen leuk en je wisselt vaak en snel van bijvoorbeeld baan of taak.

Oftewel, je hebt geen specialisme en je bent nergens expert in.

Maar…

Je probeert dingen uit. Je experimenteert.
En ja, je ‘valt’ maar je staat ook weer op.

En zo kom je tot nieuwe inzichten.
Je komt vooruit.
Je bent flexibel en doet meer dan 1 ding.

Dit maakt jou een expert in het uitproberen.

Leuk hè? 😍

Volgens mij ben je dan aan het:
‘Expertimenteren’ = Een expert zijn in experimenteren.

[jup, dat woord heb ik zelluf bedacht haha.]

Juist het doen van verschillende dingen is jouw specialisme.

Je staat open voor verschillende mogelijkheden, invalshoeken en ideeën.
Je hebt ervaring op diverse vlakken en bent een creatieve generalist.

En zo ben je als ‘Multipotential’ ook ‘multi-inzetbaar’ 🙂

Lekker makkelijk zeg ik dat hè?
Is het niet hoor.
Heeft bij mij ook even geduurd.

Maar voelt wel steeds meer zo.

Dankzij o.a. coaching en veel expertimenteren 😉

En nu zeg ik volmondig: “Ja! Ik ben een Multipotential”

Woehoe!!

Wil je ook met andere veelzijdige multi’s kletsen en ervaringen delen?

Kom dan 10 november naar het Multipotential Café in Roermond.

Gezellig ook met een hapje, drankjes en vooral leuke andere multi’s.
En ge-host door Catelijne en yours truly 😊

Meld je aan via catelijnegerlag.nl.

Tot dan?

💚

Quote – It Takes Time…

Coffee or tea for you?

I drank a lot of tea while making this piece. I love this quote by @vera.drmanovski and wow, her zine and Floral Fusion brushes are AMAZING!

Vera’s work is highly decorative and intricate and I used as many details as I could (and I know I can still add some) She has a tutorial to guide you!

If you haven’t yet, definitely check out Vera’s episode on the Joyful Journey podcast (link in bio) and her zine and brushes.

In her zine, Vera has 10 tips for decorative artwork, all in one place. The tips and info are great and the brushes are so much fun! Honestly, you’ll be drawing forever, haha.

Creating pieces does take a long time but with her brushes, you can speed up the process and get things done quicker. And they’re so cute.

Have you gotten creative with Vera’s quote yet? And have you tried her zine and brushes?

Quote – Being Multipassionate

“Being Multi-passionate is not your Achilles Heel, it’s your Superpower” – @marieforleo

This quote is one of the quotes @catelijnecoach mentioned in her podcast episode and she lives by it.

I love it because being multi-passionate can sometimes feel overwhelming and like you’re not an expert at anything so you can’t do anything. That line or thought can go downhill you know, so having a quote like this as a reminder is very cool.

It can be your mantra!

Because honestly, it’s true! Having so many talents and being multi-faceted is your Superpower!

Remember that.

I have created this piece on the iPad Pro, using the app @procreate and the @apple pencil and – of course – many styles and fonts and brushes because I love the multiness ??
