Put Your Wisdom to Work
Over the past two weeks, a theme keeps emerging with my clients and others I have met. I have talked at length with several people about the importance of thinking big – and beyond ourselves. In the midst of day-to-day life, it can be easy to forget how many people have helped us along the way, personally and professionally, and how much we have to offer.
So, instead of writing a full article this week, I want to challenge you to think about how you will put the power of your knowledge and wisdom to work to help someone else.
Take a look at the four questions below to get your wheels turning.
- Who do you see struggling that could use your support?
- Who do you see repeating the same mistakes because no one will give them the feedback they need to break the cycle?
- Who could benefit from your influence, perspective, expertise or contacts?
- What have you been excited about getting involved in that you just haven’t taken action on?
So, before you dive back into your day, identify one thing you will do this week to pay it forward, leveraging your unique value and perspective. You might be surprised at how much you get from the experience.
