Our roundtable, is working together on Simon Sinek’s ‘Discover Your Why’ exercises. I suppose, at the surface level, we could conclude Simon Sinek believes that Why is innate in us and the discovery-of-why process is about remembering experiences and interpreting those experiences in a manner that helps us understand the secrecy [so to speak] of our [hidden] Why.
I find this 'Discover Your Why' exercise very complementary to the STRENGTHSFINDER concepts around uncovering your [hidden-like-secrets] talents and converting them into strengths. Certainly, we can accomplish both these things - discovering our why and discovering our talents - without needing to understand whether drive precedes purpose or purpose precedes drive.
On the other hand, the human condition is fascinating.
And some of us are interested in digging deeper.
I'm suspecting I am one of those people.
