Leading by Design
Issue No. 1
Reconnecting to Your Purpose
Hey Reader,
Articulating your purpose is a way to both reconnect and engage, and also to spark a positive psychological energy that creates drive. If you are like me, it’s been more difficult this past year to stay attune to and connected to a feeling of purpose. Work absorbed much of my early year, leading to burnout and some deep personal work. I’ve refound a positive energy and direction in supporting other leaders and teams at the intersection of the future of work and human-sustainability in the workplace. This email newsletter is a part of that realignment, and I hope it serves you as much as it has served me.
Facilitating Team Reconnection
Leading a team through tough times is part of being a leader. It’s not easy. Engaging your team in the purpose of the team itself, and each of their individual connection to that purpose is one way to foster a healthy environment. As a leader, you can help each individual tie their purpose to the company purpose and goals, and align together.
you are inviting them to experiment with you on a first step forward to a new team reality that ya’ll create continuously together. Do you have commitments you want to make to each other? What do they need from you (their leader) to uphold and protect the purpose of the team? Moving forward, are there any team habits or rituals that would maintain some of the connections sparked during the day?
I’ve put together a full outline of a 60-90 minute workshop that you can pick up and facilitate today, along with coaching questions to get everyone thinking about the future, not the stress of the past.
How often do you feel lonely?
The phrase “it get’s lonely at the top” is well-known and true!! As I’ve been coaching and connecting with many folks in my network the past few months, it’s become clear that leaders are not getting the support needed from their peers, bosses and companies. I’d like to offer up the hosting and facilitation of a different kind of professional community group – one where we are intentional about how we lead, how we support each other’s growth and development and how we manage teams towards a kinder future of human-sustainability at work.
Want to be the first to know when I open up founding membership later this year? Join the waitlist via link below for the beta and I’ll be in touch.
With renewed purpose,
