Our Six Pillars for Purposeful Living

This has been frequently requested of me ever since my earlier post about ‘The Six Month Conversation’ resonated with so many people. This follow up is about the framework Alexis and I devised with hopes of guiding our life journey together independently and as a couple. I know this post is arriving several years late, after tons of requests, so thanks everybody for your patience!

Community Highlight - Dress for Success Vancouver

The Kiwanis Club of Vancouver received its charter in 1919 to function primarily in service and goodwill. Since its inception, the Kiwanis Club of Vancouver has raised funds for the handicapped, aged, and needy, and sponsored other civic, cultural and social activities.

Earlier this month, one of our members spoke with Jennifer Halinda, Executive Director of Dress for Success Vancouver, to better understand how they are leading the way to empower women into the workforce in our city.

Hints for Team Projects

  1. Build trust first. Do NOT leap into tasks and roles and assigned duties.
    • Spend some time together getting to know one another or (in some cases) getting to know each other better. Share personal information about your family or background, or hometown, or hobbies – or all of these things. Disclosing – and showing vulnerability – builds trust, and you’re going to need trust.
    • Have fun during this time. Eat (you should always bring food to meetings).
    • You might think, “We don’t have time; we have to get stuff done.” You will SAVE time later by putting in effort here now, even if later is tomorrow or this afternoon.
  2. Create a common goal together. This might be a grade you wish to achieve, or a level of professionalism, or a mission to move people to action. If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there. A common objective brings a team’s focus into alignment. Create short-term objectives as well.
