Episode 3 - Defining Purpose

Get On Purpose with Karen James

The goal of the Get on Purpose podcast is to provide you with actionable takeaways that will help you live a life on purpose and give you ways of measuring and maintaining personal accountability.

In Episode 1 and 2 we talked about the foundational values and guiding principles you need to create your own Blueprint.

Today we get under the hood of what the term ‘purpose’ actually means.

In this episode I talk about:

• Difference between passion and purpose and how one often fuels the other
• The three ‘purpose’ groups - personal, transactional and work/organisations
• The importance of always asking Why?
• How having a purpose affects all areas of an organisation
• A case study of how OzHarvest connects with its corporate purpose

Today’s Get on Purpose Action (GOPA):

Did this week’s transactions have a clear purposes? Reflect on what was a waste of time and why that was. Was the purpose clear?

Is the purpose of the work you are responsible for clearly defined? If not define it and then communicate the vision with people around you.

Does the organisation you work for or lead have a clear purpose? Brainstorm some ideas of what it could look like it. If it is does, are you actually clear on what it is.
