26. Liz Trujillo from My Tru Design created the Unleash Monday brand and learned about her own giftedness!
Liz studied communication design with a sub-specialization in interactivity and multimedia where she focused on web design. She has been working in the corporate world for 4 years throughout that time she always had people who wanted her help in creating logos so in 2019 she created the brand Mytrudesign to provide brand design services to independent entrepreneurs.
Creating designs from thoughts and ideas of her clients is what brings Liz passion, especially listening to ideas that are intangibles and bring them to life. She believes that every person is unique in their one way and therefore Liz focuses on the design process and takes it meticulously and personally in order to give you a meaningful and consistent design.
TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
In Spanish the word for giftedness is “superdotado”
Sometimes the reason you have difficulties to connect with others is because your brain is wired a bit differently, not because there is something wrong with you.
Sometimes people become introverts because they are not understood and they start shutting down a bit.
Creativity can sometimes not be put into words and it can be such a beautiful and fulfilling journey
Empathy and caring deeply about the environment and the world can be a sign of giftedness.
Compassion and empathy is something not everyone can feel as deeply.
Feeling out of place and not being understood can be a sign of giftedness.
There don’t seem to be gifted school programs currently available in Equator in the public schools.
Realising you are gifted gives you a sense of peace and makes you want to connect with other like minded people.
Gifted adults face difficulties in a neurotypical corporate setting
A brand is more than just a logo, it creates a look and feel of a whole business and portraits the values and the emotions of the business.
It’s OK to feel out of place sometimes and you can use this as your fuel! And don’t just believe what people say! Keep feeling what you are feeling and find validation for that. You are not wrong, you are just wired a bit differently.
No need to fulfil other people’s expectations.
