Joan Gillman – Living Your Life on Purpose

·        Get rid of toxic people in your life

·        Do what you enjoy

·        Concentrate on your strengths

Practice will not fix your weaknesses

Do what you are best at

If you aren’t in a position of strength, liberate yourself.

·        Understand how to be excellent at your job

·        My life is fishbowl – put the rocks in 1^st or your life is filled with sand & gravel

Friends & Family

Health

Learning

Fun

Leave a Legacy

Tells you what to say no to

·        Each role has significant goals

·        Stress comes from perception you are not in control

Conflict

Expectations not being met

·        Stress can be good

·        Training should be for your entire careers

·        Use both closed and open doors to manage time.

·        Take a time inventory on how you spend your time.

·        Create systems that work for you to free up time.

·        Build whitespace into your life

Have un-scheduled time blocked off on your calendar

Schedule time to relax

Leave room for the unexpected, the fires

·        You have to let other people fail or they won’t learn to do it

·        If you are a perfectionist, focus on results

Don’t let mistakes devastate you

·        Delegating: 

Get over fear of losing control

Set realistic objectives

Let go of easy and face the tough stuff

Match the person to the task – build their strengths

Job is to grow people – get them to the next level

Do it early – don’t wait until you’re swamped

·        Every time you are interrupted it takes an average of 15 minutes to get back to the task at hand

Review personal work goals

Spend 15 minutes a week planning to start

Daily to-do list
