When professionals are misaligned with their roles, it's not about lacking talent but being placed in the wrong story. The path to authentic success comes from recognizing your unique shape and leaning into it rather than contorting yourself to fit predetermined expectations.
• The Rock initially failed as a smiling, high-energy baby face despite his wrestling pedigree
• His career transformed when he aligned his character with his natural energy and audience response
• Job descriptions rarely capture what companies truly need from you
• We're trained to bend ourselves into bullet point lists instead of showing up in our rare, natural shape
• Wrestling legends like Mick Foley and The Undertaker succeeded by embracing their unique qualities
• Performance problems are often storyline problems—"it's not the player, it's the placement"
• Some people are atmospheres, not employees—squeezing them into task lists kills their power
