The story behind the value of ‘why’ falls squarely at the feet of author and speaker Simon Sinek, who in 2009 began a movement that connected people to their purpose by helping them to discover their personal ‘why’.
Grounded in a practical approach, Simon’s vision took on a force of its own (largely thanks to his now-famous TED talk which you can watch here). Fast forward several years and it is widely accepted that if we are to feel more inspired in work and in life, then we all need to understand our own ‘why’.
But how do we do this? It’s one thing to understand the value of knowing our personal ‘why’ at work, but it is entirely another challenge to articulate it. Yet since we are at the start (ish) of 2022, perhaps now is a good time to tap into your own ‘why’ and revisit this question: What drives you as a podiatrist?
Speaker and endurance athlete Samantha Gash sums up how to do this, along with some help from Simon Sinek’s novel approach. And if you want more information and tips on this larger than life issue, download the full APodA podcast here.
