Happier At Work®

191: The Pursuit of Purpose: Shifting Perspectives with Will Polston


Listen Later

If you want to bring new energy and purpose into your work life, this episode is for you.

In the latest episode of the Happier at Work podcast I had an insightful conversation with the inspiring Will Polston. He shared invaluable wisdom on reclaiming personal power and transforming your perspective on work and success.

We delved into shifting mindsets, discovering values, and creating lasting habits. Will shares his wisdom on finding purpose, taking action, and embracing the journey. Will encourages us to focus on the process, detach from outcomes, and prioritise habits over goals to achieve substantial success.

Will’s insights and experiences will resonate with anyone seeking purpose, fulfilment, and happiness in their work life. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a business owner, or someone on a personal development journey, this episode offers valuable guidance to drive positive change.

The main points throughout this podcast include:

  • Shifting language from "I have to" to "I choose to" to regain inner power and change your perspective.
  • Discovering your North Star, a goal so big that it's never truly achieved, to stay focused on the journey and detach from the outcome.
  • Understanding the concept of end values and means values to live in accordance with your own values and find inspiration from within.
  • Embracing the journey and focusing on the process as essential for achieving substantial goals.
