Built on Purpose - Part III Preview
Thanks again for showing interest in my book, Built on Purpose! With great excitement about getting this book out in the world, I’m happy to share with you a sneak peak of Part III.
Part III: The Enduring Work – Practices that Drive Results and Meaning
The final part of Built on Purpose is about sustainability; the kind of leadership that endures, inspires, and leaves its mark.
Chapter 7: Swallow Hard and Lead
Leadership under pressure reveals more about us than success ever will. We delve into the role of emotional intelligence, especially in tough moments, through personal experiences and missteps, showing how grace, adaptability, and self-awareness shape culture and credibility. When the stakes are high, leaders have the power to either elevate or erode trust in a single moment.
Chapter 8: Before You Give Advice…
The most transformative leadership moments are often unplanned and unannounced. We spend time unpacking the power of mentoring, coaching, and feedback; three tools that shape others through presence, intention, and belief in their potential. Whether you lead formally or informally, your words and how you use them can change someone’s path.
Chapter 9: Time to Think
In a world of constant noise, the ability to focus becomes a strategic advantage. This chapter highlights the value of carving out intentional time to think; individually, as a team, and across an organization. Thoughtful leadership requires space to reflect, and with it comes clarity, alignment, and more-informed decisions.
Chapter 10: What’s Most Important to You?
Purpose becomes something more powerful when we connect what we do to what we believe. We end with a personal story of legacy and conviction, calling leaders to align business impact with personal meaning. In doing so, we not only lead better, we leave something behind that matters.
