3-Minute read
It was April 29th, 2013, a Monday morning around 10:15 AM when my world came to a screeching halt! I had just gotten fired… After 4 weeks on the job, of which, every Friday I went to the partner at the firm that was my mentor and I asked the following two questions,
“What am I doing well?”
“Where do I need to improve?”
While I was told I was meeting or exceeding expectations. I was the one that was now driving against traffic, headed for home on a Monday morning, speechless and jobless. As I drove, I began considering the question…
What is my purpose? (And, how have I not already figured out what my PURPOSE IS!?)
The reality is, most of us don’t know that we have some incomplete elements in our life. Whether we’re talking about the family, friends, finances, work, mind, body, future, or spiritual components, something is missing or has room for growth.
When I got fired, instead of proactively jumping a hurdle, I felt like I had stepped on a landmine. I did not see this rough transition coming my way whatsoever. Nor had my “mentor” given me a fighting chance or an indicator that I was apparently missing the mark.
However, the truth is that I get to lead with this story now when working with high performing leaders. Because I want to cut straight to the chase of how we can get better. I don’t want people to think they need to project the cropped and edited version of themselves. Instead, I want them to simply be fully present with me.
You might be thinking, “why are sharing this?”
Well, the truth is that to be the best there needs to clarity in both work and life. Not to mention how our finite amount of energy should be working in unison on both fronts.
Therefore, I have been looking for an end-to-end process that uncovers a person’s personal purpose, values, vision, and mission in life AND at the very same time, walks someone through uncovering their professional purpose, values, vision, and mission… And I have FOUND IT!
Does this sound too good to be true?
Well, I thought so too, until I met Brandon Schaefer, CEO of 5 Capitals. Last week I was 1 of about 40 leadership professionals that became master certified in The Prioritized Leader process.
