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.

We’ve heard it time and time again, this idea of purpose being at the heart of our lives, but have you stopped to look at what ‘living on purpose’ actually means for you?

The world is an increasingly noisy place, at home, at work and pretty much everywhere you go. How do you distil it all and make sure you’re not filling time with busy activities which may not actually matter?

How do you work, or run a business, or live your life and not get to the end of your day, or year or worse your life and say what was that all about?

In the words of Mark Twain, “Two of the most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why”.

Get on Purpose is the podcast where we fuse what matters most in your life, and business, to create your blueprint and framework to get clear, get moving and get results. Each week your host, the informed and infectious Karen James, guides you towards what matters most as the key to living on purpose in business and in life.

Karen James is a Jersey girl turned social entrepreneur, author, speaker and humanitarian, who’s risen through the ranks of the global corporate world while being guided by her own strong sense of ‘why’. In Get On Purpose she helps you find clarity, meaning and your own sense of purpose.
