The seven steps to thrive at work

LoveWork

What is your purpose? This is probably the single most important question you can ask yourself and the answer will shape your future. However, it's not always straightforward. We are led to believe that our purpose is connected with how much we achieve, the accumulation of possessions or attaining status in society. Nothing could be further from the truth. Your personal purpose is your internal compass. It is your big "why." It is the meeting point between your passion and your talent. When you know your purpose, you're able to unlock the necessary skill set to thrive in today's complex and unpredictable world. Ultimately, your personal purpose is an aspirational reason for being, which inspires and guides your life. It is a deep conviction about what is most important that shapes your mindset, behavior and actions. It has a timeless quality, which is beyond circumstance and provides the meaning and direction of your life.

The Extraordinary Benefits of Focusing on What Matters Most

Purpose

We can often become governed by our ‘to do’ lists and forget that we are human ‘beings’, not human ‘doings.’ Doing is important, but it is not why we exist. In a world characterized by complexity, ambiguity, disruption and globalization the quality of our being will determine the quality of our experience. This is true in all walks of life but has heightened significance in the leadership domain. As a leader, the risk of being dominated by ‘doing’ can cause you to lose touch with the essential qualities required to provide great leadership. In Being, popular author and leadership coach Ben Renshaw blends six principles with compelling calls to action. Drawing upon engaging stories and rich insight from interviewing C-suite leaders across a range of sectors, the author reveals the few core truths required to lead in an age of fast change.
