The Importance of Personal Purpose

The podcast discusses the significance of having a personal purpose and how it can impact one's motivation and guide their actions. The speaker shares her experience with Ernst & Young's personal purpose program, which encouraged employees to develop their own personal purpose statement that encompassed all aspects of their lives. This program helped individuals reflect on what drives them, what motivates them, and what gives them fulfillment. It was highly encouraged, supported from top-level management, and had a positive impact on the work culture.
