Balancing the need to measure results with the satisfaction that can come from engaging with the process allows us to harness the full breadth of value available in achieving our goals.
Cup of Jo: Measuring What Matters
Identifying goals, and knowing that we’ve successfully reached them, is highly dependent on how results are measured - which can vary by task, organizational culture, and even individual beliefs. Correctly identifying, and then finding meaningful ways, to keep track of what matters is key to ensuring you're making the right impact.
Cup of Jo: How Do You Know When To Let Go?
Making a mission possible isn't an exact science. It includes trying things out and sometimes realizing that they don't fit. It's absolutely normal - and expected - to make mistakes or to learn that something served a purpose for a time, but no longer has a place on your journey.
Start the New Year off right by doing a little house cleaning. Take a moment, take stock, and decide if now is the time to let go of what doesn’t serve you and get realigned with what does.
Cup of Jo: Make It Happen By Saying NO
Just say no. It’s easier said than done for some of us, myself included. However, one of our biggest challenges in accomplishing our goals (big and small) tends to be limited capacity and distractions. Making “no” part of an intentional strategy creates space and frees up resources for the things that are most critical while supporting our ability to make better decisions.

Cup of Jo: Bringing A Mission-Driven Lens To Work In Every Sector
Let's take a closer look at the various ways we can put the "mission lens" to use in our work. Now that we understand that mission is a choice - how we want to show up, what we want to give of ourselves, and an affirmation of our values - we can use this energy to lead, create community, and bring our unique best to everything we do.

BLABBIT: Living A Mission-Driven Life
I had the pleasure of joining Paul Geiger and Glenn Ingram this second time around to discuss something I believe is one of the most important ideas in finding fulfillment and joy throughout our lives - the power of living a mission-driven life. We share insights on why it's important to develop a personal manifesto, how to create consistency as we navigate personal and professional spaces, and managing and learning from the ups and downs that we're sure to encounter along the way.
Whether you're currently a leader, one in the making, or interested in making a difference in your relationships, family, and community, this episode of Blabbit is for you!
Cup of Jo: Developing Your Personal Manifesto
Developing your personal manifesto is one of the most valuable things you can do for yourself. Going through the process of claiming your identity, beliefs, and values, and weaving them all together creates a powerful framework that will guide your decisions and develop your unique path as you step into the world.
Cup of Jo: What Is A Personal Manifesto?
Personal manifestos are a great place to start if you are looking to create a narrative about who you are, what you value, and the contributions you have made through your work and activities. I prefer this to a standard resume, as it frees us up to speak in ways that are specific, comprehensive, and powerful. The story we tell about our life (so far) is much more compelling than a bullet point list of achievements and allows for our personality and unique combination of characteristics to shine.
