Reflecting On Purpose

Over the last month I have travelled around New Zealand meeting with our teams discussing Personal purpose and how it fits with our corporate Purpose of "Helping Make Your World a Safer Place". It was a catalyst for me to reflect on my own purpose and what really drives me to do what I do. I realise that the signature trait from early on in my career has been my desire to help others adapt and grow to changing circumstances. My energy and drive fuels my own personal resilience when times get tough. This started in my time as an Occupational Therapist, when I worked in a consultancy practice helping managers work through improving safety in the workplace , as a leader helping teams face the never ending challenges of a fast changing world and when natural disasters occur and I need to lead teams in helping communities recover. In my personal life I love being their for friends and family and see everyone really get joy from their day. When times are difficult it is important I find time to centre and reflect on what really matters. Life brings many curve balls, some of your own doing and others that you could never in your wildest dreams expect would happen. The strength to adapt and recover comes from understanding what truly matters to you. As we reach the end of May I was asked to speak at a conference in New Caledonia. It proved  the perfect opportunity to blend some personal time with a very busy professional schedule. Michael and i enjoyed some quiet reflective time together as we fitted in a few walks in a very pretty environment. The walk over the valley was very peaceful and the walk at sunrise and sunset was magical. I am facing June with a positive attitude and value my own inner strength and sense of Purpose. 
If you were to summarise your Purpose and what gets you out of bed every morning what would it be?

    I am often asked to share my insights on career choices, leadership, diversity, change and personal resilience.  I  use this blog to  provide me with an opportunity to reflect and share more broadly. I would love to hear your own stories as you navigate through life.
