Today’s episode will be about the why, how, and what concept of the book, Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek. Ann will share how she applied that concept to her life and how it has impacted her decisions. Ann’s goal for this podcast is to inspire you to create your why’s that will inspire you.

Ann will also share three action steps you can take to figure out why you do the things you do and whether it aligns with your values. Knowing your purpose, values, and why’s is one of the essential things that will help you achieve what you need to do in life. Ann talked about the imposter syndrome and its relation to self-worth in the first two episodes. So, after you learn to validate your self-worth intrinsically, then you can create goals that you want to achieve because you have a strong why. Listen in to learn more about this concept!
