Jay Shetty is an award-winning storyteller, podcaster and former monk who is making wisdom go viral. I have been listening to the Jay Shetty Podcast, “On Purpose” over the last couple of years, I think that it’s fascinating to hear a former monk interviewing global stars from his LA base with a British accent.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “purpose” is a noun and means the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. Here’s how I could design an “On Purpose” workshop that fits your organization:
Does your purpose:
- Address an industry problem?
- Inspire a community?
- Disrupt the marketplace?
- Make the world a better place?
I would then split you up into groups, teams or departments and ask:
- What do we care about?
- Why do we do the work that we do?
- What really matters?
- What is the purpose of our organization?
- What do we want for the future of this groups, teams or department
- What can we give that really matters to the world?
After establishing what your organization does with something that really matters in the 21st century. I would ask questions like these:
- How does your purpose link to really significant, worthwhile issues, challenges and needs in the world?
- How clear and alive are those issues in the minds of your people?
