On this week’s #GoalChatLive I spoke about mission and impact with powerhouse founders Michele Heyward, PositiveHire, and Erin Longmoon, Zephyr Connects. Whatever your mission, you are bound to have an impact; it might as well be a good one.
Erin and Michele talked about their journeys, businesses, and personal missions. They also shared what drives them – Erin “cares about people,” for Michele “community” is at its core – as well as tips for finding your mission, and more.
Their Missions
- Michele’s business revolves around giving women of color the tools they need to remain in their career in STEM. Her personal mission is to make being a nerd cool again!
- Erin’s company helps small businesses hire. She believes everyone deserves to enjoy their job/career. Her personal mission is to create impact through sharing stories
Focus for 2023
- Michele: Helping women of color avoid the glass cliff, so they can succeed and win! Word is “Accountability.”
- Erin: Keep changing more lives. Word is “Breakthrough”
#GoalChatLive on Mission & Impact
Mission & Impact Goals
- Erin: Anger offers clues to discovering your mission. Write out moments when you were moved to “big” anger. Look for patterns and common themes to find your core values and mission.
- Michele: Turn education into action, and do so in bite-size pieces. Watch and learn, take notes, and make a plan.
Final Thoughts
- Erin: You get one life, decide how you want to live it!
- Michele: Everything you do matters, no matter how small it is … could be cleaning up, clearing a walkway. You are making an impact.
Your mission is your essence, your purpose, your compass. It may not be clear to you, but it’s clear to others. Don’t know what your mission is? Ask someone your trust.
