The Red Thread of You Resource Guide

Have you ever wondered what ties together everything you do? Or, if you already know that, have you ever struggled with how to explain it to other people?

Then this week’s Resource Guide is for you. It’s all about how to take the Red Thread method and apply it to you, your work, your passions, and your world. The result? A way to both understand and articulate why you do what you do the way you uniquely do it.

The Red Thread of You Resource Guide

An easy way to find pieces of your Red Thread
To find your Personal Red Thread, think about the things that give you energy, even after you’ve finished them. Energy signals the potential power behind something, and that leads to your Red Thread.

How to use storytelling to talk about yourself
If you need help talking about yourself, check out this post to see how the Red Thread becomes a map to help you tell the story of you.

Who (or what) are you choosing to be?
You’re already in the middle of your journey. How did you get here? Finding the thread that ties your “I am” to your “I want” is key to figuring out who you are.

How to make the most of who you already are
When you need to lean into your strengths, check out this post to understand how the elements of your Red Thread will help you determine whether you’re a fox or a hedgehog (and what that means).

How to make your Red Thread unique
Your Red Thread is unique. Even if the elements of it don’t seem like they are, your story is your story. Read this when you need to see that no matter what it is that you do, your story is unique and your Red Thread can show that.

How to make what you do unmistakably you
When you put the elements of your Red Thread together, it becomes yours and yours alone.

Skill or will? How to hire the right coach
Look over this post before you hire a business coach. With the right matchup, you’re much more likely to reach your full potential.

Find the Red Thread in your job search
Whether looking for a job or plotting a career path, this post asks a better question than “What do you want to do?”.

Strong social bios
Everyone wants to stand out on social media. But, as I explain here, leading with what makes you different won’t capture attention the way you will if you show your relevance. For a social media bio that stands out, follow the formula in this post.

Podcasts

Personal branding, content marketing, writing, and your Red Thread | Nice Podcast
A great podcast altogether, but especially this message — you don’t have to worry about your personal brand if you’re sticking to what’s really you (and that’s where the Red Thread will keep you true to yourself!)

The Only Way Out is Through | The Blueprint with Eliot Marshal Podcast
This podcast was a meeting-of-the-minds about what fuels and drives people, and how great ideas need that power. Set aside some time for this one.
