33 分钟Some people are born knowing exactly what they want to do with their life – and because of that, they’re able to get to the top of their field. But most of us have multiple passions and identities, making it difficult to visualize our own unique paths.. So, how do we explore who we are and what we love to do in our careers and in our lives? This week, guest & TED Fellow Constance Hockaday helps us navigate and voice our deepest hopes and desires. She walks us through her perspective as an artist, what she’s learned from immersing herself into small and sometimes very isolated communities, and gives tips on how to find liberation by pursuing your passion.

Ted audio collective, you're listening to how to be a better human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
Because of the nature of this show, where it's an interview with mostly just one person, we tend to feature a lot of people who have very clear ideas about what they do and who they are.
They've accomplished something big, and they're here to share about it.
And thats great.
And I think theres a lot to learn from people who are so focused.
But ive been thinking about how that can also skew our understanding about whats normal, because most of us dont have just one thing that weve always known was our thing.
Theres only so many people who can be like, im the worlds most talented base jumper.
In fact, theres only one person who can say that, and theyre probably currently throwing themselves off a cliff right now.
The rest of us juggle a bunch of identities all at once, or we might be fuzzy on exactly what it is that we want to devote our free time or our careers to.
We might not know what our identity exactly is.
For a lot of us, it can feel like our thing is just getting through the day.
And that's why I think that today's guest is really special.
Constance Hakadie helps people to come up with new visions of leadership and success to strive for.
But she also helps broaden ideas about what your thing can be.
And she's doing it for everyone, not just the single minded, passionate, sense birth type people.
I also love that Connie is still figuring this out for herself.
She describes herself in a lot of different ways, and how she sees herself professionally and personally is always evolving.
Here's a clip from her TED talk.
I work in organizational and leadership development, and I'm an artist.
