Do you know what your purpose is? Can you articulate it?

Fewer than 20% of leaders can do so according to Harvard Business Review.

We believe it's the single most important developmental task you can undertake as a leader.

[Maria Brosnan @MariaBrosnan]

How can we define purpose?🤔

On my latest podcast I was joined by @Purposeful_Ed who has 14 years of #classroom and #leadership experience.

Looking back to this podcast with @teachstrong_ and @BrightLeadersUK about how to reconnect with your purpose.

@BrightLeadChris and others from the Purposeful Educators community are out there following their purpose with conviction and making waves!

Talking purpose with @teachstrong_ The reality that we lose touch with it and need to create space to connect with it anew.

Your purpose is 'the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.'
Frederick Buechner

Orienting to purpose makes being with uncertainty and emergence an exciting and creative place to be...

[Purposeful Educators @Purposeful_Ed]

Being clear on purpose for self, others and organisation is an aspect of a unifying, mature leader.

Hetty Einzig:

'Purpose supports us to rise above partisan goals and unite conflicting agendas setting all endeavour in a wider context of shared meaning.'

This is what purpose is. It's the thread that you follow.

The wisdom that you turn to when you need to dig deep.

[Naomi Ward PCC @naomi7444]

What is the golden thread that you trust and follow?

It’s a gift to have faith in this…

[Purposeful Educators @Purposeful_Ed]

@jeffreykboakye @uniofleicester @AndyShep_CPOM @sianlloydnews @dallascampbell That's impressive. Good luck @uniofleicester!

[Purposeful Educators @Purposeful_Ed]

Let us know, what is the story that you would share?

[Purposeful Educators @Purposeful_Ed]

THREAD - Restore your Purpose

Part of what we do to guide educators to connect back to purpose is to share stories and listen deeply.

We all have a story about just one child for whom we made a difference that matters.

If you feel a loss of self, a loss of purpose, try this:

[Purposeful Educators @Purposeful_Ed]

It feels like magic to listen to these stories. It's all here.

Who you are at your best.
What matters most.
The difference you are called to make.
The difference only you can make.

And importantly, the emotional resonance that is essential when we need to dig deep.
