Purpose. It’s a word that carries a weight of significance and promise. We talk about it, seek it, and often struggle with how to fully embrace it in our lives. From career decisions to personal relationships, the quest for purpose can sometimes feel like an elusive journey, one that many of us are continually navigating.

As I reflect on my own journey and the release of my new book, Women Rising: The forces that hold us back, the tools to help us rise, I’m reminded of how purpose has been a guiding light in my work, my writing, and my life. This book is not just a culmination of years of research, experience, and conversations with thousands of women around the world; it’s also a testament to the power of living with purpose. I want to share with you how this journey has shaped my own sense of purpose and how Women Rising can be a companion in discovering yours.

1. RECONNECT WITH YOUR PASSION

One of the most transformative questions I explored in Women Rising was around passion. What are you passionate about? This question isn’t just about hobbies or interests; it’s about what lights you up from the inside, what makes you feel alive. For me, the passion to empower women, to help them break free from societal constraints and rise into their fullest potential, has been a driving force behind my work. As you read Women Rising, I invite you to reflect on your passions. What is it that you’re most excited about in this season of your life? Use the tools and exercises in the book to reconnect with that passion, and let it guide your purpose.

2. ALIGN WITH YOUR CORE VALUES

Purpose is deeply intertwined with our core values – the things that matter most to us. In my journey of writing Women Rising, I was constantly reminded of the importance of aligning my work with my values. Whether it’s integrity, authenticity, or empowerment, knowing what you stand for is crucial. One of the essential aspects to gain clarity in your life, including your career, is understanding what truly matters to you. At the end of the day, what holds the utmost importance? Knowing your core values is crucial when striving to infuse purpose into your daily life and understanding how your work and actions can contribute to them in some way. As you will discover in the book, when you live in alignment with your values, your purpose naturally follows.

3. LEVERAGE YOUR STRENGTHS

Understanding and leveraging your strengths is another key aspect of finding purpose. One of the most fulfilling parts of writing Women Rising was tapping into my strengths – storytelling, teaching, and inspiring change. These strengths not only shaped the content of the book but also reinforced my purpose. As you explore the chapters of Women Rising, you’ll find prompts and activities designed to help you identify your strengths and see how they can be the foundation of your purpose.

4. TACKLE THE PROBLEM THAT CALLS TO YOU

In Women Rising, I talk about the problems that tug at our hearts – the issues we feel compelled to address. For me, the problem was clear: the persistent forces that hold women back in their careers and lives. This book is my way of contributing to the solution, of giving women the tools they need to overcome these barriers. What about you? What problem keeps you awake at night? What gets you fired up? By paying attention, you can hear the distinct problem that calls out to you. Finding a problem that truly ignites your passion and drives you to seek a solution is a direct path to building your sense of purpose.

5. ENVISION YOUR LEGACY

Finally, purpose is about the legacy we leave behind. Writing Women Rising was not just about the present; it was about creating something that would outlive me, something that would continue to empower women for years to come. What legacy do you want to leave? As you work through Women Rising, think about the impact you want to have on the world. Whether it’s within your family, community, or on a global scale, your purpose is tied to the legacy you choose to create.
