Building Purpose In Life and Work
Purpose can propel you to achieve your best, live more fully, and be of service to others. Purpose fuels people and people fuel our organizations. Many team members put a lot of effort into organizational purpose (mission, vision, and values) but individuals should spend as much time (or more) defining their own personal purpose and its relationship to their work.
Today’s session challenges you to reflect on and begin crafting your declaration of personal purpose. It also asks you to look at how you can support other team members in their own efforts to live more purposefully.
This topic invites you to:
- Explore a declaration of purpose.
- Establish how you can craft a purpose while thinking simultaneously about life and work – thus your personal and role purpose.
- Appreciate how you can help your team members achieve greater purpose at work.
