It’s during times like this when you need you remember that you are part of a community of best practice, so don’t be alone. The Forum is your friendly, safe environment for sharing ideas, top tips and pitfalls to avoid. In this time of uncertainty its important that we collaborate and work together, bringing together ideas and use this time as an opportunity to learn and continue to raise standards.

Breaking Patterns to Find Purpose

The Moment I Noticed the Disconnect
The time was 3pm. Somewhere around my seventh Zoom of the day, I realized I had missed lunch and misplaced any clear sense of what I was even trying to accomplish that day. All I knew is that I had to be on time for my next meeting. Lately, I’ve been in a position of covering for multiple leaders in my organization. While I feel grateful to be able to do so, my calendar has been filled with back-to-back meetings, and entire days pass where I feel like I’m just bouncing from one task to the next without a moment to pause. Somewhere in the rush, that sense of clarity and direction – the “why” behind the work, started to blur.

It’s not that the work itself changed. It’s that I became so consumed with reacting and moving fast that I stopped feeling grounded in purpose. And ironically, it’s in these moments, when I’m most stretched and overwhelmed, that the need for purpose becomes even more urgent. Without it, the work seems heavier, and I feel more disconnected from myself and others. Accepting this disconnect as the norm can be a risk to any organization. What sets a true leader apart in these moments is turning that awareness into action. For me, it always begins with understanding what enables me to thrive.
