www.XtraordinaryWomen.co.za 03 April 2014 Xtraordinary Women Somerset West TOPIC: Rekindle Your Purpose The new world with internet and Social Media is fabulous. It does however bombard us with so much noise! A large portion of this is telling us to follow our purpose and all will be well. Yet, when you do this you feel frustrated, self-esteem takes a knock because it doesn’t quite work out as they say it will in the business books. You are left wondering how on earth you got yourself into this limbo. Join us on 3 April where Carol Gerber will take you through the process of rekindling that excitement you once had and help to get back to purpose.

All of her varied experience and knowledge she now harnesses to work as a Change Facilitator, Strategist and the writing of inspirational and purpose driven articles.

No “Ordinary” Business Network

4. The big question......what exactly
is Purpose?

5.  Purpose = why
◦ The reason on a soul level why you do what you do
◦ Strategic reason behind doing something
 Purpose = how
◦ The daily behaviour you display to achieve your
goals

6.  Sometimes feeling lost
◦ Forget why you started in a certain direction
◦ Make decisions not in line with value structure
◦ Listen to what others expect you to do
◦ Get caught up in socially prescribed roles
◦ Just don’t know what to do next

7.  De-clutter thoughts
◦ Go back to when you started this journey
◦ Regain clarity on your original why
◦ Is it still relevant?
◦ If not, is it really your why, on a soul level?
◦ If it no longer resonates, re-evaluate

8.  De-clutter behaviour
◦ Do you have a plan?
◦ Is it written down?
◦ Do you have a realistic action plan?
◦ Do you PLAN?
◦ What are you basing your decisions on?
 Your values or external input?

9.  De-clutter your space
◦ Is your working area conducive to productivity
◦ Are you keeping yourself busy with “stuff”

10.  This is where your mind screams at
you....ON WHAT ??????
 Are you trying to accomplish 8 hours work
in 3.5?
 Is multi-tasking your “claim to fame”?

11.  Be realistic with what you want to achieve
 No you can’t manage time! Manage your
behaviour

12.  Know your values
 Be authentic
 Analyse your daily routine
 Block off time to achieve tasks
 Integrate the various roles that you play

14.  Acknowledge how you feel when something
hasn’t worked out
◦ There is no such thing as a ”bad” feeling
 Give yourself the time to experience the
emotion
◦ Time Blocking
 Assess why the plan/process didn’t work
◦ Rework plan/process
 Choose to move on
◦ Use the energy constructively

16.  Your purpose belongs to you
 Own it
 Acknowledge it
 Let it grow wings
