In The Purpose Reset, authors Rich Fernandez, Carolina Lasso, and Steph Stern offer a timely and refreshing approach to this show's favorite topic: purpose. Drawing from decades of experience across the corporate, nonprofit, and coaching worlds, they reinforce an important way of thinking—that purpose isn't a one-time discovery, but an evolving and continuous process.We invited the authors to explore how this layered view of purpose creates resonance and alignment with employees and, ultimately, organizational success. They share practical tools, like mapping your “what, why, and who,” and creating shared team purpose statements that connect personal motivations to organizational goals. With examples ranging from courageous individuals to organizational leaders, the conversation reinforces that purpose isn't about grandeur—it's about small, continuous resets that keep us aligned with what matters. For anyone navigating change, leading teams, or just looking to reconnect with meaning in their work, The Purpose Reset offers a path forward grounded in curiosity, compassion, and clarity.Listen for key insights on:How to identify your personal purpose and true alignmentCreating a team purpose statementAssessing your personal impact and opportunitiesReconnecting with purpose through small shifts, not big leaps Resources + Links:The Purpose ResetRich Fernandez's LinkedInCarolina Lasso's LinkedInSteph Stern's LinkedIn (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - The Purpose Reset (02:12) - Meet the Authors (05:50) - Why ‘The Purpose Reset'?

In turbulent times marked by economic volatility, environmental breakdowns, and widespread distrust, what we're experiencing may feel unprecedented—but we've been here before. And as Paul Polman reminds us in his milestone conversation with Carol Cone, we are not without a compass. Paul, the former CEO of Unilever, is one of today's most respected voices in sustainable leadership. He joined the 200th episode of Purpose 360 not to sugarcoat the challenges, but to ground us in enduring truths.Paul's insights are rooted both in strategy and humanity. He speaks of sustainability as the “heart of business,” where values like dignity, compassion, and the Golden Rule are guiding principles. He urges leaders to develop their own “inner core” to build resilient businesses but also resilient selves—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. And he reminds us that real leadership today means moving from “human doings” back to human beings. Business, he says, must be structured to serve—anchored in long-term purpose and in solidarity with both people and planet.At its core, Paul's message to leaders and companies is both visionary and deeply grounded. He challenges companies to stop whispering behind closed doors and instead step forward together with clarity, courage, and moral conviction. The future, he believes, belongs to those who act with heart. And in a world that often feels fractured, Paul's voice is a steady reminder that it's our shared humanity—and our willingness to serve others—that will lead us through.Listen for key insights on why:“Soft” values are the most strategic and essentialBusiness must serve humanity (not the other way around)Successful leadership starts from withinSilence to political changes is not a neutral position Resources + Links:Paul Polman's LinkedInPaul Polman's WebsiteNet PositiveIMAGINEPaul's Reflection on the Passing of Pope Francis (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Episode 200 with Paul Polman (02:40) - About Paul (05:03) - Personal Purpose (07:20) - POV on What's Happening Today (10:15) - Optimistic Outlook (12:41) - Being Authentic to Values (14:19) - Pope Francis (17:15) - Leaders (21:21) - What to Do When Attacked on DEI or ESG (24:28) - Moving the Boundaries (27:23) - Role of Employees (28:36) - Conscious Quitting Results (30:04) - Role of Humanity (32:29) - Last Thoughts (34:46) - Wrap Up

In this conversation, Jim interviews Enneagram expert Doug Lynam, who shares his unique journey from a wealthy upbringing to a 20-year stint as a Benedictine monk, and finally to a career in finance and writing. Doug discusses the complexities of money, personal development, and the Enneagram, emphasizing how our childhood experiences shape our financial behaviors and beliefs. He introduces the concept of 'money monsters' and explores the importance of healing our relationship with money through understanding our sacred wounds and attachment styles. 3 Key Takeaways: Money Trauma: Early experiences often shape lifelong beliefs and behaviors about money. For example, conflicting messages about money during Doug's childhood created confusion and avoidance. Enneagram and Financial Behavior: The Enneagram gives us a structured way to understand the emotional undercurrents that drive financial decisions. Doug explains how each type reflects specific emotional reactions to early stress and outlines how these patterns can be recognized and redirected. From Scarcity to Strategy: Shifting from a scarcity mindset to a values-based financial strategy involves identifying emotional triggers, building awareness, and creating systems that support intentional decision-making over inherited habits.

You and I are so much more than merely, what we do! Yet, in saying that, what we do still seems to become so much of what we focus on and prioritize, even in our introductory conversations. We've all done it at various times...you meet someone new, introduce yourself and then immediately ask, "so what do you do?" The only way to resist answering that question with your job title or position is to know your personal purpose. If you have no idea what this is or why having a sense of your own personal purpose statement is so important...this episode is for you.

Good morning, my fellow trailblazers and life navigators! Today, we're diving deep into the essence of what fuels our journey—our personal purpose. It's not just a buzzword for me; it's the very foundation of my TEDx talk and an experience that transformed my life. Picture this: a lighthouse in the vast expanse of life, guiding us through the fog of daily routines and existential quandaries. This lighthouse is our personal purpose, not just a beacon but a robust decision-making tool that helps us chart our course through life's tumultuous seas. Finding our purpose is akin to uncovering a treasure map to our ultimate success, transcending the mundane cycle of work, earn, and repeat. It's about asking the deeper questions—why the wealth, why the accolades? What legacy do we wish to leave behind? I've journeyed through this process, from lacking direction to helping others define their success across all facets of life. It's not just about financial or physical goals but encompassing spiritual, familial, and philanthropic aspirations. Let's ignite that fire within, refuse to drift aimlessly, and command our destiny with purpose-driven clarity. Because remember, if it's not a resounding "hell yes," then it's a no. Live life to the third power, not in mediocrity. Join me in this quest to not just exist, but to truly live with intention and leave a mark on this world that echoes through eternity. #PersonalGrowth #LifeGoals #Motivation #SuccessMindset #PurposeDrivenLife #UltimateSuccess #LifeThirdPower #CommandYourLife Craving a little more direction on your path to greatness?

Most of us are familiar with the term IQ (intelligent quotient) and EQ (Emotional Quotient) – but how familiar are you with your MQ or Motivational Quotient? MQ is the driving force behind our ambitions and growth, influenced by factors like goals, confidence, personality, and attitude. But while many leaders pay special attention to IQ and EQ, ones MQ can differentiate a truly successful leader from the rest.This episode of ‘Bring Out the Talent' welcomes Sam Caballero, a seasoned Talent Development expert, Pivotn co-founder, CEO, and Coach, and a key figure in talent cultivation at the Air Force Reserve Command and the International Coaching Federation. Together, we'll discuss the pivotal role of personal purpose and motivation in steering impactful leadership, the significance of MQ in navigating leadership challenges, and how aligning personal values with professional responsibilities can elevate leadership effectiveness. So, tune in to elevate your leadership game by harnessing your motivational intelligence.

Having a diverse and inclusive workplace makes good business sense, but the truth is that we're stuck at an impasse. Companies are so focused on how many people from different backgrounds they employ that they're missing the point. It's not about the numbers. It's about ensuring that every individual is equitably woven into the fabric of the organization and has opportunities to advance and thrive.We invited Margaret Spence, an advocate for transformative change in the DEI landscape, to elaborate on where companies currently stand with DEI and what needs to change. With a commitment to challenging the status quo, questioning barriers, and leading inclusively, Margaret offers a compelling vision. Her expertise extends beyond rhetoric, by proving that DEI is not just a checkbox but an ongoing commitment.Listen for insights on:Recommended data points for tracking DEI success and impactHow being entrenched in the status quo can obstruct inclusionNavigating bias and inclusion challenges as a person of colorResources + Links:Margaret Spence's LinkedInAbout Margaret SpenceEmployee to CEO Action ProjectThe Inclusion Learning LabInclusion Unscripted Podcast (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Margaret Spence (02:47) - Margaret's Background (06:28) - Personal Purpose (08:30) - Inclusion Lab (11:30) - DEI (16:42) - Examples Doing DEI Well (18:07) - Growth and Barriers (24:15) - Employee to CEO Project (25:58) - Inclusion Lab (28:14) - Cohorts (29:01) - Measurement (31:07) - Recommendations (33:51) - Looking to the Future of DEI (37:36) - Last Thoughts

Conventional medicine can be passive, Dr. Bergstrom says: You go to the doctor and get a prescription. Dr. Bergstrom and Dr. Gladys believe in empowering their patients, engaging with them and giving them tools to improve their wellness.  A personal approach. Stress has important negative effects on health, but you can't simply direct someone to “Be less stressed.” In fact, Dr. Bergstrom says you can't address stress until you fully understand someone's story: Who they are, how they got there, what's happened to them, and how that's affected their ability to live.Finding your “juice.” Dr. Gladys wants everyone to recognize their “juice” — her term for your reason for living, your source of joy and purpose, and what gets you out of bed in the morning. Physicians often shy away from addressing this aspect of spiritual wellness, Dr. Bergstrom says, because it's messy. But it's essential to understand for whole-person wellness. Can't get enough?Purchase the Mayo Clinic Press book “Live Younger Longer.”Purchase “The Well-Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age.”From Bookshop.org.From Amazon.  From Barnes & Noble.  Want to read more about health topics?

Each of Kimberly-Clark's brands has a brilliant purpose that guides everything they do. From focusing on environmental impact to supporting and enabling women to break down barriers to opportunity, Kimberly-Clark equips its brands to provide Better Care for a Better World.One way is through Kotex's She Can Initiative. While the brand focuses on raising awareness around Menstrual Hygiene Day each year, it also champions women's progress year-round by fighting period stigmas and the barriers they cause. Projects have included producing a film depicting how period stigma nearly stopped the first woman soccer referee, creating a “She Can Anthem,” and changing the color of the fluid used in product marketing.We invited Alison Lewis, Chief Growth Officer, to discuss how Kimberly-Clark operates with its purpose-led, performance-driven approach and how it ultimately influences culture through its purpose.Listen for insights on:Inspiring innovation with purposeActivating brand purpose to challenge stigmasOpening social impact work to other collaboratorsCreating and maintaining a purpose-led, performance-driven cultureResources + Links:Alison Lewis' LinkedInKotex She Can InitiativeVideo: Kotex's Female Football Referee Ad“Kotex and South African Pop Star Create 'She Can Anthem' to Challenge Period Misconceptions”Wall Street Journal: “Kotex Decides Women's Blood Is Red, Not Blue”Toilets Change Lives Program (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Kimberly-Clark (01:26) - Meet Alison Lewis, Chief Growth Officer (02:46) - The Importance of Purpose (05:41) - Doing Better, Reinventing, Reimagining (07:49) - Social Impact Strategies (10:46) - Innovation From Purpose (12:21) - Menstrual Hygiene Day (14:11) - Kotex She Can Initiative (16:46) - Changing Fluid (17:45) - From the Core (19:34) - Culture Compass (21:34) - Linking Company Purpose to Personal Purpose (23:47) - Toilets Change Lives (25:00) - Measurements (25:40) - Bringing Others In (27:13) - Pearls of Wisdom (29:54) - ESG (31:39) - Last Word (34:45) - Wrap Up

“You have to have a bias for action in the world if you want to do your part to make it a better place.”     —Jake WoodJake Wood's “bias for action” is indisputable: after graduating from college, he joined the Marine Corps and served two years overseas. His return to civilian life wasn't easy. Like many veterans, Jake was faced with a loss in structure, purpose, and sense of impact. After a close friend and fellow veteran committed suicide, Jake founded non-profit Team Rubicon with a dual purpose: (1) to serve global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises, and (2) to reintegrate veterans into civilian life through opportunities to utilize military training for communities in need.Ten years later, Jake welcomed his second daughter, who required surgery shortly after she was born, into the world. The experience sparked a new idea to empower more people to have a greater impact and sense of purpose. In 2021, Jake co-founded Groundswell, a corporate philanthropy platform that allows you to “give like Gates, be taxed like Warren Buffet, and be recognized like Rockefeller.”We invited Jake to lead us through his purpose journey, from creating social entrepreneurship ventures to the impact your company can make through them.Listen for insights on:What to expect from venture investorsHow companies can support and enable employees in their philanthropic givingHow employee-driven corporate donations drive better business outcomesAdvice for pursuing greater impact through social entrepreneurismResources + Links:Jake Wood's LinkedInTeam RubiconGroundswellNew York Times: “Once a Warrior, Then a Nonprofit Leader, Now an Entrepreneur”Forbes: How Groundswell Is Shifting Giving From The 1% To The 99%“Once a Warrior” Memoir (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Jake Wood • Groundswell (01:30) - Jake's Personal Purpose (02:32) - Evolving Purpose (04:00) - Team Rubicon (06:49) - Helping Veterans (09:19) - Creating Groundswell (12:12) - Structure (13:37) - Elements of Groundswell (17:19) - Response (18:17) - Example (19:52) - Philanthropy Trends (20:41) - Inspiration (21:32) - Insights (23:01) - Empathy and Love in Leadership (24:02) - Last Word (24:44) - Wrap Up

In 1982 Tom Peters wrote the ground-breaking book "In Search of Excellence." When that book was published, Chairman Mao had recently died; China was making little progress in closing the economic gap between China and the industrialized nations. Here we are, more than 40 years and a digital revolution later, China has become the second largest economy in the world. The UK has left the EU and we had the 2008 global recession and a recent pandemic. That's just a quick overview of some business changes since the 1980s. A natural question is, what does it take to create excellence in today's multi-generational workforce?   Post-pandemic leaders have faced the Great Resignation, followed quickly by the phenomena known as Quiet Quitting. How, with all this going on, can we become high-performing organizations during, what appears to be, a talent desert? Let's find out. Our guest for the next two episodes is Adrian Simpson. Adrian is the co-founder of Wavelength Companies. For 30 years, Adrian has taken over 1,500 leaders physically and virtually inside the boardrooms and shop floors of some of the world's most admired, successful, and progressive organizations.
