What I Have Learned

I work with leaders, organizations, and people in career transition who want to be the best they can be and get the results they want. I also work with parents who want to give their children a solid foundation for career success in an uncertain future. They have taught me a great deal that I want to pass on to you.

Passion and Purpose

Many of us are seeking passion and purpose in our lives. We want to find greater meaning, to love what we do each day, to really be alive. How can we discover our passion and purpose if we have not already done so? 

 

Perhaps I can use my own experience as an example. My passion and my purpose in life are, first, to help people appreciate, honour and love themselves. Without this fundamental self-respect and self-love, we are limited in all that we do. Without this understanding, how can we be purposeful and focused in our actions? 

 

Once we appreciate our own gifts, we are better able to grow and develop them and use them well, to live fully and do whatever it touches our souls to do. Acting in alignment with who we are, doing what is meaningful to us, enables us to tap into our passion. 

 

The other key piece of my passion and purpose is helping people collaborate in order to achieve for the greater good. Doing whatever we find meaningful is often easier and more effective when we work together with others in some sort of communal effort. It can be as small as passers-by gathering to get a car out of a ditch or as complex as doing our best to make the world a healthier, more prosperous, more peaceful, and more loving place for all its inhabitants.
