How’s Your Resolve For Your New Year’s Resolutions?

December 28, 2010 By kwmccarthy

Making New Year's Resolutions is just a bit more popular than breaking them. How do you make your resolutions stick this year? The answer isn't in a list, per se, but in the resolve and commitment you make. This is actually very easy to measure.

The On-Purpose Leader Experience is the ultimate opportunity to succeed in your goals. Here you'll create written plans, develop support structure, and have a community of support on a members only website. I look forward to interacting with you by phone and by web forums.

On January 5, The On-Purpose Leader Experience launches 2011 with an introductory, no charge preview. You need to be registered to gain access to the private webcast and website.

Do You Know About Faithful Fish?

On-Purpose Profile: Chelsea Eubanks

Faithful Fish is an on-purpose business founded by Chelsea Eubanks from
the loss of many loved ones within a brief time. Rather than let it
send her world into a crisis of confidence and despair, Chelsea decided
she could prosper by being true to her interests while caring for others. CLICK HERE to read her story and to shop her clothing line of classic polos, shirts, hats, and outerwear.

Often the most meaningful businesses are birthed from solving a
problem that touches us personally. If you've ever met an insurance
agent whose father died early and the insurance policy left behind cared
for his mother and college education, then you've likely met a
successful and committed insurance agent. Scars may mark us, but we
determine if they are distinguish or disfigure us.

What lesson can you learn from Chelsea?

Allow me the pleasure of plugging Faithful Fish in this On-Purpose Business Minute:

On-Purpose Leader Experience: Webcast 1 Replay

“What am I going to do when I grow up?”

It is funny
when we say it, yet the price of not really knowing who we are as
grown-ups is needlessly expensive to every aspect of our lives.

I
get it! You’re stretched to the max and burdened under more
commitments than you have time. Life is wrapped so tight, that you’re
not sure where to begin with making your life make sense.

Now, you
can test drive The On-Purpose Leader Experience
which is based on
The On-Purpose Person. Listen and watch the replay of the
introductory webcast by CLICKING HERE. You will be taken to
the replay page. Be
sure to click on “SLIDES” in the upper left hand
corner so you can watch and listen.

The program includes
five
remaining webcasts, replays, and web site support.

Experience what it
means to be on-purpose and to be in a community of on-purpose persons in
creation for the six plus weeks while the Experience is happening. The next Experience begins on September 8, 2010. Preregistration is now open. You can also register here.

Be On-Purpose!

Wander Woman, by Marcia Reynolds

June 25, 2010 By kwmccarthy

This interview with Marcia Reynolds about her new book Wander Woman, hit me with a mix of appreciation and sadness. Please watch the interview, read the rest of my comments, and then add your thoughts to the conversation. What's your take on the interview?

Marcia's observation of high performing women and her discussion of their challenges, frustrations, and ambitions parallel some my experiences with female executives. My deep appreciation for her comments is the manner in which she has truly drilled deep to get to the subtle nuances of the Wandering Woman condition. She paints an accurate picture as best I can tell for this stage of personal leadership development.

In particular, Marcia's concept of Wander Women wanting a knight instead of a king for a marriage partner intrigued me. I have to wonder, women who are reading this, do you agree?

My sadness with the interview (the book may provide further insights) was that Marcia is scratching the surface on vital women's issues such as identity, life balance, relationships, purpose, meaning, work, community, leadership, etc… yet there's an absence of inherent hope and joy in Marcia's underlying demeanor. Again, just one man's intuition here that something is missing. Is it the absence of a strong spiritual component that I sense? Is it a woman wandering in an unsettled way and striving to make rational peace with it rather than getting the matter resolved in her heart?

The Old Testament story of Moses and the Jews wandering in the desert for 40 years comes to mind as I begin to grasp this concept. Let's hope that Marcia Reynolds will one day be able to write a sequel, The Promised Land Lady.

Wander women, I must ask you, is being a wandering woman what you want? Is this concept simply an unresolved justification for stopping short of really knowing who you are, why you are here, where you are going, and what's important along the way? Can high performing women be settled souls instead of wandering women?

Be On-Purpose!
