Discover Your Purpose: Journey from WHY to HOWs | Sonu Goswami | 60 comments
Happy Saturday, LinkedIn Connections!😊We all possess a deep-seated WHY, a purpose that fuels our passion and inspires others. Remember, people don't just buy what you do; they buy why you do it. Let's clarify what we stand for, both individually and as a team, to harness the unique combination of our WHYs and HOWs. Together, we can achieve remarkable things. So, uncover your WHY and empower your team with Simon Sinek's Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team. Let's unlock your inner compass; beginning with *WHY* sparks genuine purpose for individuals and companies alike. 🔵Your *WHY* is your core purpose, cause, or belief. It's what drives everything you do. For example, if your *WHY* is to promote inclusivity, your HOWs might include organizing diversity training sessions, while your WHATs could be implementing inclusive hiring practices. 🔵Your HOWs are the actions you excel at, bringing your WHY to reality. If your HOW is through effective communication, you might facilitate team meetings where everyone's voice is heard and valued. 🔵Your WHATs are the tasks you do or the products/services you offer, directly reflecting your WHY. If your WHAT is a project management platform, it's not just about organizing tasks; it's about enabling seamless collaboration among team members. Now, embracing the WHY Over Logic: The Golden Circle reveals a deep connection between our biology and our purpose. 1.The Limbic System controls trust and loyalty, connecting to WHY and HOW. 2.The Neocortex handles logic, aligning with WHAT in the Golden Circle. Engaging both logic and emotions is essential; WHY and HOW connect to feelings, while WHAT appeals to logic. Leaders see the world as *Why-How-What*. In this book📘the authors unveil your WHY, master your HOWs, and take a stand - 3 steps to ignite your life. At work, gather and share stories. Each person has a unique WHY, reflecting their true essence. Look back on past experiences for insight. 🔵Identify significant events that deeply impacted you or the team, using specific techniques to extract these stories systematically. 🔵Identify themes. As you filter out and share stories at work, common threads will emerge. Look for those that resonate deeply with you, as they will form the foundation for your WHY Statement. 🔵Draft and refine your WHY Statement. Find your WHY's "North Star"💠: clear, concise, and speak to your core values. Use the "To __(contribution) so that ___(Impact)" format to capture your contribution and lasting impact. This statement fuels your purpose, both personally and professionally. Once you've grasped your WHY, it's time to reveal your HOWs -those vital strengths that breathe life into your purpose. Whether individually or collectively, discover these strengths and actively share your purpose to ensure everyone's engaged and invested. ☑Lesson: Purpose connects people, drives collaboration, and fuels collective achievement. | 60 comments on LinkedIn
