5 things1. Define your purpose and values2. Finding time3. Make yourself a priority4. Being authentic you5. Reset when needed

Define your Purpose & Values

� Solicit feedback from 5 people. Then…

� Purpose (two words)� What rings my joy bell?� Is it in line with my natural gifts, talents and

abilities? � Would my trusted friends/colleagues say

this is my sweet spot?

Define your Purpose & Values

� Values (3-5)� What is most important to me?� Principles or standards of behavior that are

formed by life experiences and codes of conduct, implicitly and explicitly, from my family, culture(s), organization(s), institution(s), religion(s), etc.

Finding Time (to make an impact/to live on purpose)

� Pareto’s Principle (the 80/20 rule): • The majority (about 80 percent) of the result is due to the

contributions of a minority (about 20 percent)

Finding Time (to make an impact/to live on purpose)� Conduct a time study

• 30 minute increments for 1 week� Assign an impact number� Review and assess daily • What did you learn after one week? • What can you cross off your list? • Is this helpful? • Take100% responsibility (point in, not out)

Make yourself a priority

Being authentic you

� Do I need to change? � The only person you’re really good at being is YOU. It’s the

only option you have if you want to do it well.� You’re always going to be different. Choose when that

works for you and blend when it doesn’t. Choose your moment to stand out and be recognized. –Amy Taylor, Red Bull

� Are you real (with self and people around you)? � “Be a leader with a limp.” –Dr. Fred Johnson, Initiative One

Being authentic you� What is your purpose? � How do you bring it to life? � Can you be authentic you

at work? At home? � What do you want your

dash to be?

Reset when needed

� Refocus on purpose� Instead of leading a shotgun life, be laser

focused
