Today we follow up with our discussion on purpose, mission and vision from the last few episodes by focusing on how to clearly define your work vision.

In this episode I discuss:

• The link between purpose and vision and why the connection is so important
• Painting the picture and how it moves people together
• Moving beyond personality and behaviours and how a vision can get everyone rowing in the same direction.
• How fear is the biggest challenge with living out your vision
• Why vision really matters, and why you and the people around you need to believe in that vision.

Today’s Get on Purpose Action (GOPA):

What is your work vision? Is it clear? Is it blurry? Does it exist?

This week find and set your work or organisational vision.

Last week we discussed what the term Purpose actually means.  

Today we follow on that conversation by looking more deeply at the difference between purpose, mission and vision.  These terms can often be confused, especially in a work and corporate environment.

In this episode I talk about:

• What a mission statement is and why you should consider having a purpose statement instead
• How your vision works in conjunction with your mission and purpose
• How a great vision can bring people in your organisation on a journey into the future with you
• Case studies of organisations trying to implement a culture inline with a purpose, mission and vision

Today’s Get on Purpose Action (GOPA):

Take some time this week to reflect on whether your work purpose or mission is clear? Do you connect with it?

Write down the answers to these two questions:

• What is the purpose of your work?
• What is the purpose of the broader organisation?

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.

Welcome to Get On Purpose, the podcast to help you get clear on what matters to you, get moving and get results.

In the last episode we discussed a little about me and the importance of making the good right turns.  

Today we look at building and strengthening your foundation by understanding what your Blueprint consists of.

In this episode I cover:

• Understanding that how your foundations and guiding principles form your life’s Blueprint
• The importance of having your own Blueprint and how it can be your guiding light
• Why having time for what we believe in is critical to living a life that matters
• How to manifest  and live by your Blueprint on a daily basis

Today’s Get on Purpose Action (GOPA):

For the next week check in with your decisions and behaviours to see if you are true to your Blueprint.  

Jot down some key decisions you’ve made this week and reflect on the filters you used to make those decisions.

Welcome to Get On Purpose, the podcast to get clear on what matters to you, get moving and get results.

I’ll start with full disclosure - I’m far from perfect and not always on purpose. But when my life was the best it always had purpose.

This podcast will consist of a mixture of storying telling, hard data and questions you want answered on how to live on life on purpose.  It will be just like two mates having a chat over coffee together.

In this first episode I introduce you to some of the key concepts that have helped me to live a life on purpose.  

I share the importance of walking through open doors with the right intentions and discussing the turns we do or do not take in life, whether they are good ‘right turns’ or too many of the wrong ‘left turns’.

Today’s Get on Purpose Action (GOPA):
Reflect on the best right hand turn you have taken in your life and what were the components of that turn?

In Get On Purpose she helps you find clarity, meaning and your own sense of purpose.

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.

What is your purpose? Why do you do what you do - in business...in life...do you know why you are here? It doesn't have to be anything grand...but it does help to state your purpose so you know when you start to stray off your mark.  My purpose may sound like this: To create radio shows that shine a light on people's good ideas and to spend more time in the back yard with my dogs.  Karen James - a Jersey Girl who calls Australa now - has a book called On Purpose.  Let her help you find your "bumper sticker" for life.   And meet to lovely ladies who brought their expertises - yoga and nursing - together in a beautiful new way. This Health & Happiness Show aired on Sunday February 14 Regsiter for a Day of Health & Happiness March 13 in Beacon, NY! .  www.KaceyRadio.com
