Have you ever noticed this at a social mixer or when meeting someone for the first time, the question “so what do you do?” almost always tends to come up?
What’s even more strange is that the immediate response we seem to blurt out while our brain is on auto-pilot is something like, “well I am a ______”.
The other person nods to acknowledge you as if they know all about you already…
Over the past few years I’ve had a lot of fun with this question. Sometimes, I’ll ask for clarification politely and respond with, “do you mean professionally?” and then give a description of one of the niches I focus upon in my practice. Other times, I just randomly answer with the last thing I did that day. Of course, I try to be courteous and gauge my response to the other person’s demeanor and assumed level of playfulness.
But, its still fun to have fun… 
From an NLP perspective, we are a lot more than what we believe ourselves to be. We are constant change. We are more than what we are aware of in this moment. You are pure capacity for experience. What do you want to experience? Why?
If I can help you find answers and create solutions, just let me know!
Be Amazing!
