• The Power of Being Purpose-Driven
  In fiction the author doesn’t want to divulge the ending. As nonfiction I want to not only give away the ending a priority, but the entire concept so you have a sense of where we are going. Living and working with a sense of purpose has proven to be a force multiplier that profoundly and positively impacts the triple aim of health, wealth, and happiness. Conversely, when people do not have or lose their reason for being, the consequences can be devastating up to and including the loss of life. Monolithic thinking is typically unwise. However, it is difficult to identify any single factor other than establishing deep trust that has the potential of creating a higher performing organization than the power of connecting people with purpose. It can rapidly become the secret weapon your organization is missing. After all, most professionals spend more than half their waking hours at work. We want this time to matter. We want our efforts to have meaning. We want to make a difference. Along with its impact on the triple aim, knowing and embracing the why of an organization is a remarkable engine that drives teams to successfully launch, lead, and realize value from change initiatives. Purpose delivers intrinsic motivation that also serves as a launch pad for strategic planning and guided implementation. Similarly, those organizations that leverage purpose-driven marketing outperform their competitive set. During this session, many participants come to the realization that the most important platform an organization or team can build is a strong sense of purpose.
