Finding your passion is not a straightforward process, but today’s guest is providing the keys to starting your journey of self-discovery. Gaurav Arora started xMonks in 2009 and has over sixteen years of rich experience as a facilitator, coach, and speaker. As an executive coach, he works to dismantle barriers that come up in the workplace for leaders and help them in fulfilling their intent. Get ready to learn about the meaning of leadership, co-creating a positive impact in the world, and setting yourself in the right direction for your passion to discover you.

 

Takeaways: 

  • Leadership is not just a set of actions that you take, it requires a shift in who you are as an individual. To call yourself a leader requires you to shift your mindset, belief systems, and values.
  • Leadership is a coordinated and co-created movement that creates an impact that is good for the world.
  • Being a leader cannot be a solo journey. If it were, the “leader” would be using people to build something that only has value to the “leader”. To be a leader, you need to be impacting others in a positive way.  
  • We need to deeply know ourselves to both become a leader and discover what our passions truly are. When looking for your passion ask yourself what are the things you love doing and when do you find yourself fully engaged?
  • As part of knowing ourselves, we can identify our own fears and insecurities and work to move past them.
  • It’s ok if have not found your purpose yet, what you need to do is continue to move in the right direction. If you are moving in the right direction, your purpose will find you.
  • We need to listen to ourselves and through this, we will feel ourselves answer the question of whether or not we are moving in the right direction.
