#31 Turning What You Love into a Career with Cynde McInnis, Pursuer of Dreams

Be The Wolf

Can you remember the first thing that really lit you up? Made you so excited that you’d put off EVERYTHING else?

For me it was the movie Superman. When I had an opportunity to see the movie for a second time I jumped at it. I gave up coloring Easter eggs which was one of my FAVORITE things to do.

I wasn’t obsessed with Superman himself, I was fascinated by what he could do. That movie made me believe that it was okay to be different and be who you truly are. Even if others don’t appreciate it. And it made me believe that we could do superhuman things.

Today I have a career which makes me 40 times more excited than the Superman movie ever did. I get to use my unique gifts to help others get rid of their Kryptonite and access their superhuman powers.

To create the perfect-for-you career you have to do two things: discover what you love AND get rid of the Kryptonite.

You know…things like:

• Toxic bosses and workplaces
• People not listening to you
• Doubting yourself when things don’t work the way you want
• Procrastination
• Feeling too tired to follow through
• Feeling awkward at networking events
• Self doubt
• Fear of failure…fear of success
• Feeling triggered when your boss calls you into their office
• Thinking you’re not good enough
• Other people telling you not to do it or that you’re crazy
• Fears about money
• Etcetera…etcetera…etcetera

Let’s face it, this is hard. And most have never seen anyone else do it. It’s scary to do something you’ve never seen done. But Cynde McInnis did! She knew EXACTLY what she loved. And she had to trust herself and her gut to make it a reality.

Cynde bio:

For the past 29 years, I’ve talked with thousands of people about whales. Through the Whalemobile, my education enrichment program focusing on a life-sized inflatable model of a humpback whale (that kids go inside), I can provide an engaging learning experience to introduce a unit about whales or be the expert that comes in to close it and answer student questions. I use whales as the inspiration to get kids to start thinking critically about what they can do to protect our planet. My obsession for whales as a child has grown into a greater sense of responsibility to take action on behalf of the wild world. Now, I strive to cultivate that same awareness, respect and responsibility in the next generation of ocean advocates.
