What are you passionate about? What do you do to share your passion? When you’re sharing your passion, do you feel like you’re in your sphere of genius?
Today I’m at the Saint Bernard Club of America’s National Specialty, a huge annual show held this year in Loveland CO. Do I have a Saint Bernard? No. Do I want a Saint Bernard? No – I admire the breed and it is way more dog than I want to try to manage, though they are sweet as they can possibly be. I’m there because they’ve invited me to come and share what I know about being more successful in the show ring, and about canine structure and movement.
Kinda random, right? And today, as you read this, I’m standing firmly and happily in my sphere of genius. I want you to know how to do it, too. So back to those first three questions, because they’re the springboard to you stepping into your own sphere of genius:
- Discover your passion – what would you do, even if you never got paid to do it?
- Own and feed your passion – learn everything you can, and then learn more.
- Live and share your passion – populate your life with opportunities to engage in your passion and to share it with others
My long-time coach, Pegine, said the words “sphere of genius” to me in one of our coaching sessions and it lit my fire. My goals are to try to be in my sphere of genius as much as possible, and to help you be in yours, too. Learning plus passion plus opportunity can catapult you into your sphere of genius, though first you need to identify and step into ownership of your passion. Here are three episodes of the world’s second-shortest podcast to help you get there:

This morning, I spent time with a room full of people who are passionate about Saint Bernards. So passionate that they’re spending a week of their life at what amounts to a Saint Bernard convention, showing their dogs, seeing dogs from other parts of the country and the world, shopping for Saint Bernard-related things you’ll never find in a store or on Amazon, and learning from me – a non-Saint Bernard person with a passion for helping them have more success with their dogs. This morning’s seminar was teaching them to look at their dogs from the judges’ perspective so they can win more often, and this evening’s seminar will help them improve their breeding programs and the physical structure and health of their dogs.
Today I stand firmly and happily in my sphere of genius. I hope you can spend some time in your sphere of genius today, too!
