Focus on WHY

I’ve known for a while what really motivates me. I am drawn to causes like preserving the environment, like teaching math in new and exciting ways, like encouraging young men and women to think outside the box, and make a better future for themselves and their own families. I love to be with and work with people who think the same way. I am starting to understand why. Maybe you can relate.
One of my favorite speakers is Simon Sinek. His strength as a thinker is boiling things down to their simplest elements. I recently found a video clip of his that is entitled “Start With Why.” He describes three basic focuses that most companies rely on to do what they do. And of course, he gives an out-of- the-box way to think about it. I would love to hear what you think about this clip. How would you apply Sinek’s ideas in your professional and personal lives? Let me know if it changes anything you do going forward. Check out Simon Sinek’s video at Start With Why.
