>> To realize fulfillment and
joy. Amy, good morning and
Thank you. Good morning. It’s great to be here. What are
It’s great to be here. What are
some of the reasons you wrote
this book? Tell us.
>> Absolutely. I’m an executive
coach for over 10 years now. And I work with really
And I work with really
successful clients. Leaders of
5 Fortune 500 companies and
very successful founders and
CEOs. It successful startups. And what I have found is that
And what I have found is that
regardless of the success that
we achieve in our life, we all
struggle with fears and
insecurities. And yet we think
we’re the only one that has those fears and insecurities
those fears and insecurities
and that I just wanted is
dispel that myth because
everyone is suffering silently.
And so I wrote living on purpose as a way to offer a
purpose as a way to offer a
really practical road map out
of those very crippling fears
and into a life of joy and
meaning and fulfillment. And in fact, Sherry’s a lot of
And in fact, Sherry’s a lot of
glue is the X executive
producer for Oprah Winfrey and
over 20 years, she’s got a hold
of my book and she says, oh, my
gosh, this is the real deal. This arms. And she has since
This arms. And she has since
offered it to her community and
her chosen book of the month,
which is great.
>> That’s great. Looks like
the affirmation. Yeah. What what does it actually mean?
what does it actually mean?
I guess maybe you can define
you to live
on purpose.
>> Yeah, of course. Well, it’s
the opposite of living on
accident, which I think nobody
wants, right. They don’t want to succeed on accident. We
to succeed on accident. We
don’t want to create an
accident. We want to deliver an
and so living on purpose is
really waking up and being in the driver’s seat of our own
the driver’s seat of our own
life in harnessing our
superpower of awareness in
choice and moments with
president’s intention and
really at the heart of it, it’s
really deciding that you’re going to respond instead of
going to respond instead of
react to the stuff that life
throws at you.
>> I saw a snippet in your book
that I was looking at that.
I love, by the way, and it’s
been a lot of a struggle.
Even the small things like going to the gym every day or a
going to the gym every day or a
few days a week doing here.
I have to go to the gym.
>> He said no, it’s your choice
and choose what it is that Jim
accomplish is for you. I want
to feel healthy. Want to feel good about myself.
good about myself.
>> Touch on that for
a moment.
>> Absolutely. So one of the
big tenants of being on purpose
is looking at a good hard look at the word should right now.
at the word should right now.
Should they’re? No good comes
from that word. We all want to
be bold in clear about the
things that we want in. The word should is the thing that
word should is the thing that
gets in the way and we operate
often by this word of should.
And that’s what makes it heavy.
And that’s what makes a In
fact, the word should is like
wearing a life jacket in the bath tub, you know, just
bath tub, you know, just
totally ineffective. It’s about
avoiding negative consequences
in a really ineffective way.
And so when we want to wake up in live on purpose, want to
in live on purpose, want to
pivot. All of those should Stu
once and in Chapter 4 of living
on purpose. I really detail
why his words should is the
worst word in the English
language and how to thrive without it.
without it.
>> And it just goes to show
words, do carry a lot of
weight. Another word that’s
been big in your book is
choice. Choices of the central
theme. Wise choice. So important.
>> The choices because traces
are everything. You know, our
moments are presented here.
They present has multiple
options on how we are going
to perceive what we can
interpret and then what we
think say and do. And it’s the
some of those choices. It
really did take the quality of
our life, but really don’t
think about it that way.
It’s the sum of our choices and
we’ll get to choose. And so
when we can wake up to the
superpower, our superpower of
choice? Choosing 2 per scene
and interpret not just choosing
what we’re going to do, but
choosing how we interpret
choosing of the level of
perception. That’s really the teen to ultimate freedom and
teen to ultimate freedom and
joy and so choices. Everything.
>> I’m Amy. Can you give us a
practical example living on
purpose in our daily lives?
Yeah, absolutely. And them to
go back to that word should
write so Kuz should should is
that that rate there when we
want to wake up and be
intentional, we have to look at
how are navigating and oftentimes we’re doing things
oftentimes we’re doing things
on auto pilot and
>> you have to ask, should
according to who I should do
this, I should do that were
courting to who and so living on purpose is really waking up
on purpose is really waking up
to that. Deciding to navigate
in a whole new way. And most
often we just plan through
because it’s a habit. But instead what we can start to
instead what we can start to
do is feel loud instead of
figure out what’s going to be
next. And so being on purpose,
a practical example is what
feels right? Not what sounds
like a great idea. >> Sometimes you got to say
>> Sometimes you got to say
yes and try things right before
you even know, right? I 100%.
