Side Mirror: Focus on Why - Create a purposeful way of life by Amy Rowlinson
In these shorter Side Mirror episodes, I introduce concepts, tools, and experts that help you enable Fulfilling Performance for yourself and the people you lead and care about.
To enable Fulfilling Performance we need healthy quantities of what we call the Four Fundamentals. One of those Fundamentals is Purpose.
For episode 191, back in October 2024, I had the pleasure to interview Amy Rowlinson who was about to publish her book, Focus on Why - Create a purposeful way of life.
As Purpose could be considered one of the less tangible contributing factors to Fulfilling Performance I am always keen to learn more about how others approach it and can effectively increase the "quantity" of it they have in their lives.
I have now read Focus on Why and was so impressed with it in many ways. I'm excited by how well it contributes to the conversation as a resource to help enable Fulfilling Performance. I absolutely love it and recommend it! I share more about why that is in this Side Mirror episode.
