I grew up in a society that values punctuality, order and steadfastness as personal traits. I'm an ENFP. Naturally, as you might imagine, this posed a bit of a problem. From my early days I was bombarded with advice incompatible with my personality type. Highlights include:
- "The why doesn't matter. Just do it because you have to."
- "The outcome doesn't matter, it is about the process and structure."
- "You need to learn to slow down and just stick to one thing."
Being tired of such struggles I became a massive consumer of personal development, self-help, and psychology books as I enjoyed my 20s. While I learnt a tremendous amount during this time, I ran into one striking problem: Much of the advice I consumed was written by, and for, someone with a radically different personality than my own! For example, a productivity book like "Getting Things Done" written by David Allen (an ISTJ) or a business book written by Jack Welch, (ENTJ).
This lead me on a journey that eventually ended with me coaching ENFPs from around the world for over a decade now. In doing so I've been able to discover what sets us apart beyond culture and what our universal strengths and needs really are.
I wrote this book from the mindset of "If I was flying to New Zealand and sat beside an ENFP I'd never see again, what would I share with them during the flight?"
When you read The ENFP Calling you're going to find answers to big questions like:
-What is my purpose? What am I supposed to be doing with my life?
