Hi there!

The most important question that few leaders take the time to answer is Who am I? But answering this essential question is just the beginning. 

Your design has direction. It points somewhere. It shapes what you value, why you're here, and where you're headed.

This month, we're sharing the first 3 chapters of Rick’s book, and the podcast goes deeper into the other points of the compass. 

Reflection

When you live out your personal compass, three themes start to emerge: Confidence, Conviction, and Contentment.

Think about a season or moment of your life when you felt these show up – even if it was through a difficult circumstance. 

Next, think about a season when one or more of those felt missing. What was different?

In the latest podcast episode, Rick argues these three things aren't mood states – they're indicators. When confidence has been lacking, you may be leading from achievement instead of identity. When conviction wavers, you may be operating outside your design. When contentment feels out of reach, you may be performing a version of yourself instead of living from the real one.

Take a moment to pause and reflect. Where are you right now with each of the three? What might your answers tell you?

The compass is a simple tool, but answering those four questions well takes time, honesty, and relationships.
