Any successful pursuit starts with purpose. When you have a mission behind what you do, it’s fuel … it’s drive … it’s magic. This week on #Goalchatlive, I talk about purpose with Charles Curtis-Thomas, Jr., PRAIS; business consultant Randy Sablich; and Brooke Schiller, Incite Partners.
Charles, Randy, and Brooke share the value of purpose, how purpose aligns with mission and vision, and tips for finding your purpose, as well as their origin stories, their own goals, and much more.
Where Purpose Originates
- Charles: Purpose comes from what you are passionate about
- Randy: There’s a reason you are on this planet. People figure that out early, late, or somewhere in between
- Brooke: Everyone has the drive to make an impact, though they may not call it that. Purpose can come from nature, nurture, life. Things inside you provide clues
Tools to Stay True to Your Purpose
- Brooke: Start by identifying your superpower. Once you discover your purpose, write it down
- Charles: Break “purpose” down to its core function. If something interests you, ask yourself why
- Randy: Remember you can’t find answers by yourself. You need to ask the right questions
Their Purpose
- Charles: To help people get something they wouldn’t get otherwise
- Randy: To change the world, one business at a time
- Brooke: To make the world a better place to leaders of all levels

Goals
- Randy: Pick one goal that will make you feel better. Then start taking steps
- Charles: Be bold. Ask questions of friends and peers to get the conversation started
- Brooke: Ask yourself a simple question: What do I love? What lights me up? Also, stop waiting to figure out what’s next for you
Final Thoughts
- Randy: Be all that you can be
- Charles: Try to become 1% better every day
- Brooke: You are already a leader. Look inside, pay attention, and that’s how you will find it
