Here’s a peek at Getting Clear on Purpose: Module Three of The Leadership Academy. This module explores how mindset and intentions are just as important as goals to your leadership practice. I’ll also teach you actionable strategies for making space for *all* that, PLUS abundance, in your overly full work calendar. Get a glimpse into how the module is organized and learn why I want YOUR NAME on the waitlist for The Leadership Academy. 🧡

Here’s this episode at a glance:

>> :08. Welcome to episode 12! Our campus is alive with the energy of the cusp of the fall semester. Seriously my favorite time of year!

>> 1:39. The magic behind this module: Miss Stephanie and Getting Things Done (GTD). Learn how both of them changed my life (and my files!) for the better.

>> 10:21. Purpose = intentions + goals + organization. I describe how they fit together in this module: we start with a wide-angle view and then continuously zoom in until we’re exploring how your organize the moments of your days.

>> 11:41. Lesson One: Getting Clear on Purpose: The Long View. The framework for this lesson is mindset. You’ll draw on the work you’ve done in the first two modules and explore how your purpose and values are linked to your legacy.

>> 13:02. Intentions vs. Goals. Intentions are the hows and the whys behind the whats of your goals. How intentions are separate from goals, and how the first four lessons in module three explore setting intentions for the long view, the next academic year, the semester, and the day.

>> 18:07. Moving from this big, existential lesson to looking at your year (or your academic year); the next 90 days (or semester or quarter), and your individual days.

>> 20:21. Time: Wanna control your destiny? Control your day. The next three lessons in module three explore how to be purposeful by organizing your time using systematic ideas and integrating them with tools of your choice.

>> 23:16. Abundance: We wrap up module three — and the full academy — by planning to use your values, your compass, your purposefulness with your team, and the ways you show up every day to banish a scarcity mindset and live a life of joyful abundance.
