The beauty isn’t in the purpose, it’s in the process
As a self-aware thinker, I'm continuously looking to solve problems that may or may not be there. This can often lead to anxiety - continuously questioning am I on the right track? Am I living my purpose? Am I where I should be at this stage in my life? Having a purpose should provide us with direction but not weigh us down. So what are my key tips for finding and then living with your purpose?
How to think outside the box to solve problems
It’s easy to get set in routines and ways of thinking that make up your everyday life.

However, when problems arise, we need to look at the context of the problem with new eyes.

When there are tight restrictions, it's essential that nothing is missed. Agile can work for development of software and services but it's not for companies which produce products that require an elevated level of safety.

Human Centred Leadership and The Great Resignation
We have left jobs, not because of the work we did, but because our leaders weren’t aligned to our values. We have left otherwise solid jobs to follow our inspirational leaders to new companies. From these journeys, we know that who we work for is just as important, if not more, than the work we do each day.
