SECTION 4: Declaring Your Purpose: Revealing Your Why, How & What

Your purpose is a calling from Our Creator, Your Father, that you are expected to actualize and lead. Therefore, in the process of discovering and unleashing the purpose for your life, you become a leader.

Being a leader is not about the role or position that you may hold professionally, in your community, or even in your family. Rather, being a leader is about one’s ability to acknowledge the responsibility that you have to share your unique skills and talents through your purpose to your generation for the generations to come.

Thus, as a leader, you will often be expected to communicate, persuade, and influence others. You will be expected on many occasions to offer people guidance and direction through a corporate vision by sharing the why, how, and what of your collective goal(s.)

Remember, no man is an island. Your purpose will require the participation and buy-in of others to be fulfilled. Therefore, even though you possess an individual purpose, your personal purpose has a corporate end and benefit.

The activity for this unit is for you to develop a draft of your Purpose Statement Presentation.

All the best! We know you are more than equipped to make this happen. All you need is already on the inside of you.
