MISSION STATEMENT
These questions this week have made me contemplate many things about my career path, but more importantly who I am as a person in this stage of life. I am realizing how vital it is to know who you are and what you bring forth when entering the, 'real world' – not only for your professional life, but personal life too.
I truly care about wilderness. Everything alive in the world has a place in my heart. When I read about species going extinct, forest being destroyed, the ice caps melting – and when I see the parts of my life and others it begins to effect it makes me weep. This world is beautiful and I strive to seek areas of the wilderness lesser seen. But not just see them I want to be there with my noble steeds: mtb or skis. This is how I want to live my life. Enveloped by rare mountain ranges, enjoying the suffer fest of climbing up a couloir with skis and camera gear on my back or hiking my bike up a scree field with 50 lbs of equipment being dragged behind me. This is when I am IN MY ELEMENT.
Cultivating a statement about myself that encompasses the person I have grown into today – as well as point me in the right direction for my career – has been extremely tedious to say the least.
Statement
In the statement I have come up with, I try to touch base on my passions as an individual, the skillsets I can bring forth, and how I differ from competition.
Mountain, adrenaline enthusiast – I strive to utilize my expertise in branding, motion design and photography, as a storytelling medium for outdoor companies.
This is a good start, but I am trying to come up with the right words to describe what sets me apart in a concise, relative way. These are some things for me to keep in mind.
Things that set me apart that are relative niche for my desired industry:
- adrenaline over pain (cold hands, lungs on fire, legs cramping.. I will be right behind the athletes)
- passion over money (If I am doing something I care about for cause I believe in, forget it, I am there)
- at home anywhere, in the middle of the wilderness, in my car, in the office.
