A short leadership/coaching talk (YouTube video) in which the speaker encourages listeners to identify a personal purpose (e.g., wanting to "make a difference" or "be a contribution") and then align and build on existing strengths (planning, coaching, relationship-building, etc.) to become a different or more effective leader. The speaker argues that articulating purpose enables realignment of life and leadership direction.
The kind of leader that you are today is great, and it's useful. But if you'll stop and consider where you want to go, we can then build on those strengths, whatever it is for you. Maybe you're a great planner or a phenomenal coach, or you're great at building relationships, or, like, whatever your strengths are. Right, we can build on those strengths, but with this sort of this purpose or this inspiration behind it all. So I was inspired to figure out that the purpose of my life was making a difference for other people, was being a contribution at the end of my my life. That's what I want to be said. So that's my purpose. So when we get purpose, closely, like found, articulated, claimed there, and then we add it to the strengths, we can start to realign our life and take some new ground as a leader.
