Find Your Why: a practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team pdfdrive com

SO THAT
” format works for everyone. It’s the simplest way to
codify our calling. Whether our WHY is individual or tribal, when we work with
a clear WHY in mind, we show up every single day with the feeling that we are
part of something bigger than ourselves.
*
Many of us are like Steve, the man of steel: even if we’re living our WHY, we
may find it hard to articulate our contribution and impact in specific words. The
Why Discovery process—individual or tribe—is designed to help you put all
those gut feelings, all those things that inspire you, into words. For this process
you will need:
A good partner or facilitator. Choose someone who’ll push you to think
beyond the surface, to go out of your comfort zone and uncover the memories
and experiences that are the source of your WHY. Very likely, it’s your partner
or facilitator rather than you who will be able to look down from the
perspective of fifty thousand feet and see the themes in your stories.
Enough time. How long is enough? Hard to say. Most likely, more than six
minutes and less than six hours.
We will map out all the necessary details in the chapters to come. All we ask, for
now, is that you trust the process. It works.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, work at a company, are a student or a stay at

group, head over to the next chapter, which explains the Tribe Approach.
Like most things, the Why Discovery process is most efficient and effective
when you’re fully prepared. See the diagram below to get an understanding of
the process that you will be going through. Next, we’ll walk through these seven
steps one by one.
