Hello friend! We’d like to give you a personal gift of change this holiday season. As we move toward a new year, it’s again time to stop for a moment and reflect where we come from and where we’d like to be heading next.
As it happens, we believe each of us — every individual and organization — has the power to become exceedingly better in who we are and what we do. But great things don’t come easy. Both change and growth require new direction, and finding a direction requires in-depth exploration.
So we ask you to stop for a moment, yeah just give yourself a pause, and think what truly matters in your life and what’s really worth pursuing in 2016 and beyond. Feel free to think about your personal life, your work or both, and ask the following two simple questions.
(Hint: at the intersection you can find your purpose, the reason you’ll make a splash in 2016!)
Wait, but why should I have a purpose, you might ask.
This is why: when you feel your life, your work and your whole organization have a solid direction, it’s fantastically easy to know what matters most, what to pursue next and how to make things happen. A great purpose is not just a bold statement of intent, but also a practical and strategic tool to guide your growth, acceleration or deceleration, step by step.
These are some the questions we at Wevolve ask from forward-looking leaders and organizations who want to find a new course and rock their world. These exercises have helped the most precious legacy brands to future-proof themselves and ambitious entrepreneurs to achieve so much more.
So give yourself the gift of reflection during this season.
Wevolve is a strategic research and design agency based in Helsinki with an outpost in New York. We help build exponentially better businesses by discovering what matters for people in the changing world, and designing purposeful brands, accelerated business models and value creative platforms.
