We're back with another Purpose Summit Series episode on today's Stories from the River. Host Charlie Malouf welcomes Nick Craig, referred to as the "godfather of purpose" by Charlie, which was recorded in front of a live audience at the NASCAR Hall of Fame museum. Nick discusses his journey into understanding and guiding individuals and organizations toward discovering their purpose. He shares about a pivotal moment in his life at the age of 37 when he realized that the maps others provided for success did not include his fulfillment and unique gift. This realization led him to delve into the concept of purpose as a core aspect of one's identity and the key to transformation, both personally and within organizations. Nick emphasizes the importance of being a "map maker" rather than simply following the paths set by others, guiding individuals to tap into their unique gifts and live authentically.
Nick highlights the significance of understanding personal crucible moments and connecting them with one's purpose. He explains that purpose is an individual possession that cannot be given or taken away by others and urges individuals and organizations to dig deep to reveal their purpose and core essence. By helping companies like Unilever and LEGO reconnect with their purpose during identity crises, Nick demonstrates the transformative power of aligning individual and organizational purposes.
He encourages people to reflect on their connection to their purpose and share stories that showcase their impact, emphasizing the importance of living out one's purpose authentically in every aspect of life. Nick says that purpose is at the core of map making and that if you're map making, then you're living your purpose. He says that people who are the map makers are the ones who will really make the difference and have an impact in this world.
