Seven Steps on how to find your purpose at work

Seven Steps on how to find your purpose at work

My seven steps on how to find your purpose at work are below. Which one works best for you?

1 Go where the energy flows. What projects brings you alive? Start there.

2 When do you enter flow most easily? What topics do you lose yourself in?

3 What intrigues you the most? In what function is your curiosity piqued?

4 Where do you excel? What results come easily to you?

5 What do you enjoy the most? Whats fun and feels like play to you?

6 What do you look forward to doing?

7 What topics are you most drawn to?

If a project, function or topic hits one or more of the above, you are on the right path to finding your purpose at work.

Enjoy exploring!

I went to this talk by Lazlo Block in May, quite some time ago (sorry, I tweeted but forgot to blog). It was a close call between seeing Lazlo and going to a gender lecture. In the end, I decided to go to the talk where I knew least about the speaker- to learn new ideas.

I wasn’t disappointed. Lazzlo was full of ideas about work. He is the VP for People Operations at google, so Human Resources. He had a lot to say about his own journey, getting to google and where google is going next. All chronicled in his book Work Rules.

A hugely likeable and charismatic speaker, (he once worked as an actor), but don’t let that fool you, he had some hard hitting messages. My favourites were:

  • work really hard. not hard, but super hard. that will cover most things
  • work with the best and learn all you can, so you can work hard some more
  • leadership is about others not you
  • but know why you want to lead, what contribution you want to make and be authentic.

Enjoy!
