1. Grow with Purpose
May 2, 2018

2. 1. Have a Compelling Purpose

3. “To have a great purpose to work
for, a purpose larger than
ourselves, is one of the secrets of
making life significant; for then the
meaning and worth of the individual
overflow his personal borders and
survive his death.”
~ Will Durrant

4. “Success is...
knowing your purpose in life,
growing to reach your maximum
potential, and sowing seeds that
benefit others.”
~ John C. Maxwell

5. “Words may inspire, but only action
creates change. Most of us live our
lives by accident-we live life as it
happens. Fulfillment comes when we
live our lives on purpose.”
~ Simon Sinek

6. A Purposeful Life
“We all need something to believe
in, something for which we can have
whole-hearted enthusiasm. We need
to feel that our life has meaning,
that we are needed in this world.”
~ Unknown

7. 2. Assess Regularly

8. “When you truly understand how
others experience your behavior
without defending or judging,
you then have the ability to
produce a breakthrough in your
leadership and team.”
~ Loretta Malandra

9. “We cannot become what we need
by remaining what we are.”
~ John C. Maxwell

10. 3. When You Fail…
Reflect, Learn and Move On

11. “Success in not final, failure is not
fatal: it is the courage to continue
that counts.”
~ Winston Churchill

12. “Failure should be our teacher,
not our undertaker.
Failure is delay, not defeat.
It is a temporary detour, not a dead end.
Failure is something we can avoid only by
saying nothing, doing nothing,
and being nothing.”
~ Denis Watley

13. 4. Celebrate Often

14. “Life is not about waiting for happy endings,
it’s all about treasuring small and simple
moments of joy, celebrating as well as
respecting small victories of overcoming
limitations, struggles and so on. Seek self
progression and be grateful for all the
blessings- big or small- that life has offered
or offering to you.”
~ Latika Teotia

15. 5. Pause to Renew

16. “Almost everything will work again
if you unplug it for a few minutes,
including you.”
~ Anne Lamott

17. 6. Tame Your Gremlins

18. “Happy are they
that can hear their detractions
and put them to mending.”
~ William Shakespeare

19. 7. Mentor and Empower Others

20. “We rise by lifting others.”
~ Robert Ingersoll

21. “As we look ahead into the next
century, leaders will be those who
empower others.”
~ Bill Gates

22. “There are only two ways to
influence human behavior:
you can manipulate it or you can
inspire it.”
~ Simon Sinek

23. “Outstanding leaders go out of their
way to boost the self-esteem of their
personnel. If people believe in
themselves, it’s amazing what they
can accomplish.”
~ Sam Walton

24. 8. Wisely Invest Your Time,
Talents and Resources

25. “Just because you can,
doesn’t mean you should.”
~ Emily Rogers

26. “You have to decide what your highest
priorities are
and have the courage-
pleasantly, smilingly,
nonapologetically
to say “no” to other things.
And the way to do that is by having a
bigger “yes” burning inside.”
~ Stephen R Covey

27. 9. Step out of Comfort Zones
That No Longer Serve You

28. “Don’t be afraid to give up the good
to go for the great.”
~ John D. Rockefeller

29. 10. Dwell in Possibility

30. “It's the possibility that keeps me
going, not the guarantee.”
~ Nicolas Sparks, The Notebook

31. “Without leaps of imagination or
dreaming, we lose the excitement of
possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a
form of planning.”
~ Gloria Steinem

32. 11. If You Want it Bad Enough…
Trust, Take a Gulp, and Leap

33. “Have faith, take the leap,
You’ll either unfold your wings
and learn to fly,
or you’ll learn to swim…
Trust yourself,
and jump in with all you have.””
~ Sulekha Pande

34. “If you are not having gulp moments
as you play your game, then it’s
becomes a business-as-usual game .”
~ Rick Tamlyn

35. “Don’t think about what could go
wrong,
think about what could go
right.”
~ Unknown

36. 12. Define Your Leadership Legacy
