In the first People With Purpose interview episode, Cathy Bennett, the award winning business turnaround coach and founder of Vertical, joins David about her life purpose and career along with the subjects of drive, curiosity and gender.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ask a question because you’re interested and curious and not just because you want an answer that’s going to help you sell something
• What’s best is individual to that person
• Trust your intuition, that’s not just a gut feel, it’s deeper than gut feel. Listen to what your mind is telling you in your quiet moments and it’s all about dealing with what’s in your mind. What you think, how you react to things. That is the key.
• Cathy is inspired by her children, Simon Sinek and loves Pink Floyd!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Being caring and being curious, they kind of come almost like a left hand and right hand.’

'I got to the stage where I kind of realised I was surrounded by a little bit of mediocrity.’ 

‘I don’t want to be a millionaire; I don't need to be a millionaire. I don’t need all that money.’

‘ When someone tells you your purpose is something and it doesn’t resonate, it doesn’t feel right, trust your intuition.’

People With Purpose

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no-one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell and this show is where these stories come to life.
