Show Notes:
Have you had any experiences of feeling unmotivated, uninspired, unfulfilled, disengaged in your career? Well, in this week’s episode of The Entrepreneurial You Podcast, Stephen Shedletzky, Head of Communications, Simon Sinek shares how discovering your why will lead to a more fulfilling life.
He describes our why as:
- Our purpose, cause or belief.
- Whether as an individual or an organization, the reason we exist and that each and every one of us has one.
- Based on who we are. It’s our origin story so it’s those times in our lives from our earliest memory as a child up until the instances of times where we’ve been at our best and even the times where we’ve been most challenged. And in sharing those stories, those peak and valley stories, themes emerge and that is your why, that is your purpose.
Stephen also shares the two ingredients of our why, or a just cause – contribution and impact.
Contribution is the thing that we do, it’s our top strength. It’s the thing that we are world class at.
Our impact is what we care about creating. It is what we feel every human being deserves to experience and it is something we want for ourselves and everyone around us. Our impact is not something we could never achieve, it’s an aim which is why our why is infinite.
Listen to this week’s profound episode and also hear Stephen’s suggestions for the path to a fulfilled life. He also answers our audience question that came via Facebook.
