Find your Core Gift
Many of us are searching for a deeper sense of purpose in life. It can be tempting to look outside ourselves for answers, as if the answers are “out there” somewhere, if only we could find them. Gifts help us understand that our purpose isn’t something we have to go out and find. It’s something already inside us, waiting to be called on. Your Core Gift is at the center of who you are, has influenced your past actions—sometimes without you knowing—and can be used as a powerful tool for making decisions about your future.
What is the Core Gift Discovery™ process?
Designed over a 20-year period, the Core Gift Discovery™ process has been completed with thousands of people from many walks of life. Originally proven with people struggling with addiction, mental health challenges and homelessness, the process is now used with anyone at a change point in their life who wants to better understand their current situation and decide a future direction.
The process takes approximately 90 minutes to complete and results in your individualized Core Gift Statement.
Your Facilitator will ask you a variety of questions designed to produce answers from you that form the raw material for your Core Gift Statement, then will guide you through steps to help you choose your most important answers and help you discover your Core Gift. The process uses a four-way verification process so you can confirm the validity of your Core Gift.
The entire process is designed to draw out your unique YOU. Unlike other popular strength-finding assessment tools, the Core Gift process doesn’t ask you to choose from pre-determined choices, doesn’t compare you to other people, and doesn’t place you into pre-determined “This is you” categories as a result of your answers. The result you come up with is designed by you, unique to you, and verified by you.
A Certified Core Gift Discovery™ facilitator of your choosing will guide you to successful completion of the Core Gift Discovery™ process, resulting in your unique Core Gift statement. This process can be completed through online video chat or in-person. A follow-up reflection and action-planning session is also available.
“Our society has always told us to follow the collective ideology of doing as we’re told. My Core Gift Interview dissolved that ideology completely and welcomed a new narrative of living in my purpose by listening to my inner voice. It unveiled an inner knowing that I have been carrying for years and solidified that my deepest moment of suffering was also my deepest moment of possibility.”
Valerie Weyland, Owner - Brown Girl Bloom, Perth, Australia
Who is it useful for?
Knowing your Core Gift is useful for any person, 15 years or older, who is questioning their future direction or trying to understand their past. Because your Core Gift is at the center of who you are, it has influenced your past actions, sometimes without you knowing, and can be used as a powerful tool for making decisions about your future. If you currently feel “stuck,” your Core Gift will help you decide what to do.
It can be used to guide decisions about current jobs, future careers, education, relationships, and hobbies.
It can also be used to help you understand why you have such strong reactions, positive or negative, to certain people or situations. Your Core Gift can be used as a powerful contributor to personal healing and establishing a healthier life path.
“Core Gift discovery - and maybe for some "recovery" reminds us of why we are on this earth and what we're meant to do here! Sometimes in my life I’ve had this feeling that I was in the right place, doing what I was meant to be doing. Now I know that I was giving my Core Gift and slowly healing a deep wound.”
Marilyn Haywood, St Mary's, Ontario, Canada
Why is your Core Gift important to know?
The belief underlying the process is that every human has a distinct and useful Core Gift. There are many other labels for this Core Gift—some call it passion, some call it genius, some call it their life purpose. Often discovered or strengthened during times of difficulty, this Core Gift is an essential part of answering the two questions all of us have when we are at an important decision-making point in our lives: “Who am I?” and “What am I supposed to be doing?”
Because your Core Gift is connected to your deepest sense of purpose, when you give your Core Gift you feel an alignment between your personal values and what you choose to do. Purpose research shows that people who know their purpose can be highly motivated. For example, purpose research shows that employees who have a deep sense of purpose stay longer at their jobs, produce more, and have a higher level of job satisfaction.
Knowing your Core Gift can help you to have confidence that your decisions are based on who you are.
Often, during times of change, we want to please others or make decisions that are easiest or will cause the least trouble in our life. Relying on your Core Gift will help you to stay true to your most genuine YOU and make the first steps towards committed and sustainable change.
"My Core Gift experience was one of the most personally enriching highlights and transformational experiences of my life. I am so thankful, and cannot wait to meditate and pray about my Core Gift statement."
Father David Mayovsky, Washington, USA
