158 Beyond the Easy Button: Finding Your True Why with Lisa McGuire 13:26

6 weeks ago13:26

13:26

When asked to share their “why,” many people reach for the easiest answer—their family. While family can be a powerful inspiration, defaulting to this response often overlooks the unique talents, passions, and values that drive our work. In this episode, Lisa explores why falling back on such answers may shortchange your ability to connect authentically and stand out in a competitive world. Inspired by Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle, we’ll discuss how starting with your “why” can transform not only how you communicate but also how you live. Finding your true “why” is a journey that requires intentional reflection, vulnerability, and honesty. It’s about moving beyond surface-level motivations and discovering the deeper purpose that informs your work and your life. Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of transactional work or feeling disconnected from your passions, uncovering your authentic “why” can create a sense of clarity, connection, and contribution that resonates with others. Key Takeaways Family as a default “why” might miss the deeper story. While family can inspire, the “why” that drives your work is often rooted in personal passions and unique values. A popular framework can help reframe your narrative. Start with “why” to create more authentic and memorable connections. Transactional work leads to disconnection. Understanding your deeper motivations can transform your career into a calling. Your “why” is the connection point. It’s the story that makes you memorable and allows others to resonate with your message. Reflection is key. Ask yourself questions like: What ticks you off? What breaks your heart? What big problem are you trying to solve?"

157 Embrace the Power of Choice with Lisa McGuire 10:40

7 weeks ago10:40

10:40

In today’s episode of Your Passion, Purpose and Personal Brand Podcast with Lisa McGuire, we challenge the belief that there’s one fixed life path we must all follow. Instead, we uncover what happens when you recognize your own power to choose—and how it transforms your life for the better. You’ll learn why personal autonomy can be both thrilling and unsettling, how looking back at past experiences can shape (and sometimes limit) your present, and why it’s crucial to design a future based on your unique values and desires. The common belief that there is one path to success can be limiting. The fear of what others will think or breaking the rules can keep us playing small. It's only one version of the narrative. Key Takeaways: Recognize the Myth: A “predestined life path” is only one version of the story you can write. You Are the Author: It's your story. You get to be the author. Honor the Past, But Don’t Dwell: Reflect on past experiences to learn and grow; don’t let fear of repetition keep you stuck. Small Steps, Big Shifts: Making small, intentional decisions in alignment with your values can lead to transformative change. Create Your Future: Start focusing on what you do want rather than what you don’t—let your imagination and passions guide the next chapter of your life. #podcast #choose #autonomy #selfdirection CONNECT WITH LISA Take the "Reimagine You" Quiz: https://lisamcguire.com/takeequiz/ Learn which of the four styles will put you on the path to your next steps.
