Setting the pace on the pursuit of happiness. This is the Ken Coleman show where you discover what you were born to do and how to make it happen.

Now, helping you get unstuck and on the path to your dream job, Ken Coleman.

Coming to you live from Ramsey Studios in Nashville, you are joining a conversation about who you are, what you were created to do, where you want to do it, and how you can get there.

It's all about you, why? Because you were created to fill a unique role. That means you were needed, and it means you must do it. Somebody out there needs you to be you.

We don't believe here on the Ken Coleman show that you were created to work just to pave the bills.

We think that you live to work, to contribute through your work. One of the big concerns I have about this growing socialistic voice of everybody should have a universal pay is that it takes the meaning out of your work, and that would lead to what I believe would be widespread.

We were dealing with a workforce in America and around the world prior to the coronavirus that the data said somewhere between 70 and 80%.

70% in the United States, 80% around the globe, not happening in their work. You think a universal income, well, I'm just going to pay you, show up, and you do this. You move this brick from this side of the yard to the other side.

It's a dangerous thing. We all long to find a way to contribute to help others through our gifting.

And so we look at three indicators to help you get clear, which is stage one, to meaningful work, living the dream.

Get clear. How do you do that? You identify what you do best. That's your talent.

Think hard skills, soft skills. What you love to do most work, the function, the task itself that you look forward to, and you put a lot of time into high levels of emotion and devotion.

And the third is mission, results that matter most, who are the people you must want to help? What's their problem? What's the solution to their problem? Those are the results that will drive you.

You get clear on those three things, what you do best, what you love to do most, and results that matter most, and you have found your sweet spot. Where does that exist in the marketplace?

There is a unique role that will stay with you in your sweet spot as you continue to advance. That's what we're here to help you figure out.

Once you get that clarity, it's all about how do we get there? It's about getting qualified stage two, stage three, getting connected, stage four, getting started, stage five, get promoted, stage six, you'll eventually get that dream job. Is it done? No.

Stage seven is actualization of what it's like to live in the dream job. You're giving yourself away, your time, your talents, and your resources.

844-747-2577, let's help you get there. Sarah is going to start us off today in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the city of brotherly love. Sarah, you're on the Ken Coleman show.

Hi Ken, thanks for taking my call. Happy to. What's going on?

I've been searching for a job now for several months just to help my family get out of debt. In the process, I ended up finding out that we were pregnant, which is great news.

But now I have a job offer. We'll not offer an interview. Somebody contacted me and so grateful for that during this time obviously. But I don't know if telling them that I am pregnant is something I should disclose or if that's something that is an ethical withhold.

Well, it just doesn't make any sense to not tell them because let's assume the interview goes well when they offer you a job, what are you going to do? Go work for a month or two and then say, oh, by the way, I'm pregnant at that point, they're going to know that you're going to know your timeline and then it looks like you are withholding something and being sneaky and that creates all kinds of issues.
