Hello everyone!
My name is Erica, i’m 25, and I’m from Phoenix, Arizona. I signed up for PPSC because I was impressed by my quiz result. I am a thriver and have been able to understand my stengths, values, beliefs and deal breakers. Growing up my parents were both firestarters. During and after college i spent so much time searching for a passion and wondered why I couldn’t stick with one thing. I also struggled with the guilt of feeling “lazy” because I didn’t want to work more than 30 hours. Coming from an upbringing that involved my parents constantly working- even when they got home FROM work, I questioned why their work ethic was not instilled in me. However, after PPSC, I was able to realize it’s not that I’m lazy or have a bad work ethic- I just have different VALUES!
Hi Rachel and Kristen!
It was relieving to find out my values as a Thriver. I kept saying to people “Working 40hours a week doesn’t seem like a quality life” and everyone thought I was crazy. My mom is a huge firestarter; working 80hours a week and having a passion. I always wondered why I wasn’t like her, why i couldn’t understand why she worked weekends, why i couldn’t find MY passion. This course really helped me understand myself and how I have different values than my mom, ESPECIALLY time.
Currently I work in a 40 hour week job that is constantly busy. I am financially ready and able to cut my hours down to 32 hours a week. Can you give me some tips or advise on how to ask my manager to let me work less even though the workload is consistently busy?
