Communications and Public Speaking: "How Purpose Helps You Make Better Decisions"

Title of Speech:

"How Purpose helps you make better Decisions"

Speech Abstract:

Picasso said: Your purpose in life is to find your gift and share it with the world.  I say: Your purpose in life is to find the one thing that makes you uniquely remarkable (your gift) and share it with the world.

• Your purpose is the ONE thing that makes you uniquely remarkable.
• Its components are your beliefs, wants and talents – YOU!
• When you make decisions that are aligned with your purpose, your choices are aligned with your beliefs, wants and talents.
• When you make decisions that are aligned with your beliefs, wants and talents, you are more confident that those choices are aligned with YOU!

Learning Objectives:

• A definition of purpose that is both simple and logical.
• Criteria for a good Purpose Statement.
• Why/how your purpose articulated in 7 words or less makes you more powerful.
• How to use your purpose to make better decisions about your life, decisions that are more aligned with your beliefs, wants and talents.

Speaker Bio:  Ian Chamandy

 Over the last 20 years, I have helped more than 400 organizations define their purpose and become consistently uniquely remarkable through my proprietary Blueprint process. "Blueprinting" defines an organization's purpose – in 7 words or less – and uses it to design how it will operate and communicate. I adapted this process for individuals so they can create a personal Blueprint for a happy, productive, self-directed and purpose-driven life.

I am also an author, speaker and coach, as well as a contributor to a nationally broadcast TV station. I co-wrote the book "Why should I choose you?: Answering the most important question in business in 7 words or less", published by HarperCollins.
