Case Studies

Personal Power:
Esme had a life long history of being an Advocate without a cause. She was able to gather groups and rally teams in support of an issue, and yet she was always puzzled and frustrated when her intentions for the group didn’t play out. This created a lot of disappointment in her efforts to work with the Advocate archetype as she assumed that the Advocate’s gift was in gathering support from others. Group members would sometimes question her motives and intentions often accusing her of having a hidden agenda.

It wasn’t until Esme created her archetypal compass that the Advocate landed in the area of home & family. It was the discovery that the Advocate’s best served home and family, that her understanding of the Advocate’s primary capacity fell into place and her sense of personal power soared.

“The missing element was in realizing the true purpose for my Advocate. When I comb my memory, I see how many times the advocate was dialed in on the wrong group. And yet, when the group that needs me is family, I’ve always been able to be there, to advocate and to take action. Until now, I never understood why not even my siblings had this same drive about their family. Now I see the difference; that we all show up in our families as a different archetype.

All my years as the black sheep roaming into groups, offering my passion and my gifts that weren’t useful to those groups was very frustrating. It wasn’t until I stepped into my true place in the family after my mother’s death four years ago, that I felt an undeniable sense of belonging. The advocate is a champion, supporter, backer, promoter and crusader. Now, when my Advocate is needed in the family, I feel like I’m on to the pitchers mound and with the focus and concentration of Brian Wilson, closing down the 9th inning. It’s really empowering.”

“Now that the Advocate has a name and a home where she can be super effective, I can bring her to into other settings where she can effectively champion other causes. Now she knows how to pay well with others because she has found her true alignment in family; she no longer appears overpowering, needy or of possessing a hidden agenda.”
