What if you could write your own job description?

Four months back, I created my own job description and called myself an “Initiator & Facilitator of Change Networks”. I left Amsterdam 3 months ago to start practicing and earning money in that role.

Three weeks ago, I joined a Success Team here in Berlin (based on Barabara Sher’s work: http://www.shersuccessteams.com/) in order to be more specific about my job description. I feel the need to be more clear around these questions:

• What are my next steps? Where do I start?
• What do I still need to learn?
• Where am I practicing this role already?
• What do I offer? How can I make money in that role?
• What are change networks? Where are role-models? Where do they need to be created? What are they made of? What do they do? How are they structured?
• Where do I find partners in co-initiation and co-facilitation?
• Who else do I need to talk to?
• Who will be my first customer?

And I started reading Steve Park’s “Start your business week by week” which is hopefully giving me guidance on the question: what are my next steps.

Today, I had the big opportunity to start writing my job description as Dialogue Facilitator for self (Social Entrepreneurship and Leadership Foundation) in Berlin: http://self-germany.de/mediapool/31/311023/data/SELF-Profile_English_13072006.pdf

I took my vision and personal principles (http://imagineblog.wordpress.com/2007/04/19/chaordic-coaching-ii/) and developed four prototypes of practice:

• selfMembership
• selfDialogue
• selfCulture
• selfHub Host

A small step towards my goal and still to be developed until January 2008…
