Achieving significance: reflecting, gaining perspective, discovering uniqueness, developing a framework, and applying a strategy for a meaningful life.
The Personal Leadership Summit (PLS) is a proven discovery process that provides a framework for making decisions that will challenge you to go beyond success and on to significance.
- Recounting your life story and identifying significant people, events, and circumstances in your life history.
- Examining the impact these have had on the five domains of your life that you want to try to keep in balance.
- Understanding how you work and process things.
- Discovering and/or confirming your talents and gifts.
- Developing a strategy with specific goals and action steps for movement toward significance in each of the domains of your life.
- Learning how to manage your life domains strategy.
- Going through these steps and developing a strategy will help you reach the goal of living a stress-reduced, satisfying, enjoyable, and meaningful life.
At various times in life, you come to a point where you need or want to make changes. But what direction should you go? What is your mission? Are you asking . . .
- Why is the work that I am doing draining me more than it is energizing me?
- Am I making the right contributions? If so, why am I frustrated?
- Why is it such a struggle for me to figure out my life mission?
- I am considering a change—but what should I do?
- Why am I feeling out of balance and stressed?
This process is inspired and patterned after Tom Paterson's work on ‘LifePlanning’™ and his book, ‘ Living The Life You Were Meant To Live'; Lamont Moon and ‘The 24x7 Leader Process’; and Bob Buford’s Halftime.
Many leaders find that ongoing coaching is essential on the other side of a PLS Process.
A coach can act as a catalyst, guide, adviser, sounding board, and score keeper to keep you on track with your Plan.
A coach provides a unique, external, and supportive view of where you are and where you are going.
