Becoming Who You Are is Looking for an Intern. Will it be you?
The internship will be for one day a week and will last for three months initially.
What were you doing in spring 2010? I was starting this blog. I sat in my tiny studio in Hackney, London, picked a (in retrospect, cringeworthy) free WordPress theme and started posting about the thoughts and ideas I was processing at the time. A couple of friends read it, but it was mostly for me.
Back in 2010, I had no idea that the site would be what it is today (nor did I have any idea that I’d be travelling half the year, in a great relationship, or doing something feels totally aligned with my life vision and purpose—personal development is powerful!). It’s been a windy road with many ups and downs, but I’m so excited about where Becoming Who You Are is heading.
Most of this growth has happened in the past year. With your help, imagine where we could take this in five years, ten years?
Imagine the impact you’d have on people’s lives: self-kindness is about making the most out of our limited time on this planet, but it’s not just about us. Imagine if everyone was 10% kinder to themselves, then went out into the world and passed on that extra 10% of kindness to the people they interacted with, from their kids, to their colleagues and friends, to the guy who pumps their gas. Then imagine that those people go out and pass on that 10% extra kindness to everyone they come into contact with…
I believe in this movement. And I’m reaching a point where I can’t do the things I’m itching to do and serve this community on my own anymore.
If you believe in it too, I need your help.
It’s time to take this show on the road and create a crack team of self-kindness ninjas—maybe including you?
Your benefits:
Access to me and everything I know
Experience of what it’s like to be part of a small and growing business designed to make a difference in the world
Personal and professional development, including the odd coaching session
The ability to work from anywhere you want
Learning. A lot of learning. About yourself, about self-kindness, about entrepreneurship, and about what it means to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
And, if being a ninja isn’t quite your thing, you get to pick your own job title.
What you’ll be doing:
Helping me with social media updates
Creating graphics for social media and the BWYA site
Uploading content to WordPress and helping it reach as many people as possible
Editing MP3s (and possibly videos)
Dreaming and scheming for Becoming Who You Are’s future
Who You Are
You’re committed to your own personal development
You’ve experienced the power of self-kindness in your own life and are passionate about spreading this message to other people
You’re proactive and focus on action over perfection
You’re creative and aren’t afraid to dream big
You’re deeply focused on serving people and adding value to the world
You know how to use WordPress, edit audio, and work your magic on social media
You have 7 hours per week available to focus on this project
You do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it
You embody what we talk about here at BWYA (kindness) and you know how to communicate that to other people
None of this is set in stone right now. I want to hear what you have to offer and what you think you can bring to the team.
If the idea of being a self-kindness ninja evokes a “hell yes!”, send me your answers to the following questions at hannah [at] becomingwhoyouare [dot] net (helpful hint: authenticity and realness are biiiig plus points):
1. Why are you interested in becoming part of the BWYA team?
2. How do you embody self-kindness in your own life?
3. What’s one thing you’ve accomplished in your life that you’re proud of? And why?
4. What useful skills do you have that you could contribute to the BWYA team? (social media, content writing, audio/video editing, coding, design, etc…)
5. What vision or ideas do you have for Becoming Who You Are in the future?
If you’re a good fit, I’ll contact you to set up a chat. If you make it onto the team, get ready to have a world of possibilities in front of you.
The position will start out as unpaid and will initially last for three months. I’m running this program to meet people who I can employ in the future, so we’ll review how it’s going once the first three months are up. In general, the more value you bring to the company, the more value you’re likely to get back.
Changing the whole world starts with one person making a decision to change their world. If that’s you, email me at hannah [at] becomingwhoyouare [dot] net with your responses to the above questions.
I look forward to connecting with you :)
