I was idly looking through my notebook from the CELF* course I undertook a few years ago. On the first few pages, two quotes stood out for me:
If you have great understanding of your values, you can be totally committed to an organisation – even if that organisation itself may not be clear about its values.
Without direction, our thoughts have no impact – and – Without emotion, our thoughts have no power
Next came the personal mission statement I created:
“To enable a world where business is a resource for doing good”.
Sometimes it good to look back, so you can refocus on the path ahead.
