The Mindfluence Revolution

061: David Mead


Listen Later

According to today’s guest, it doesn’t matter how

much we do if what we do doesn’t really matter. If you want to have
more influence in the world, more sustainable business success, and
greater fulfillment in the journey, then tune in for Dr. Norton’s
inspiring conversation with Organizational Development and Start
with Why Purpose Expert, David Mead. David is of the opinion that
your Why comes from your past; it is who you already are at your
best so you’re simply uncovering who that person is. Make sure to
also catch the Mindfluence Challenge of the week to help you take
more purpose filled action and create more significant
results.
