Ep. 72 Purpose Unleashed: Successful Leadership with Jade Simmons

Jade is living proof that you don't have to choose just one activity to be successful, but you must have purpose.   In part one of this conversation with Jade, a true Renaissance woman who's not afraid to embrace all her gifts, she brings the straight talk of hope to exhausted leaders.   We dove deep into the idea of purpose and leadership, particularly why purpose is the ultimate guide in life and work. Jade shared her powerful definition that I repeat all the time: “Purpose isn't what you do. It’s what happens in others when you do what you do.”   And we talked through what that looks like for you as a leader, and how you cultivate that on your team so productivity soars, creativity flourishes, and success follows (all without the exhaustion).   This conversation will inspire and challenge you to bring your whole, fabulous self to everything you do. Trust me, your work (and the world) will thank you for it!   Join us on LinkedIn and Instagram…do you know your purpose?   Here’s what we talked about: 05:45 The pressure to choose one thing 09:14 How purpose can guide you in your career 14:59 How to boost effectiveness 17:21 How to get your employees to be comfortable to be themselves 21:21 Growing into uniqueness 22:05 The difference between passion and purpose   Links/ Resources: The Free 99 Steps: Joyosity Explorer Map will guide you to understanding the deeper purpose and story you tell yourself about your work.
