One of my values from my daring greatly
0:03
work through the Bnee Brown program is
0:05
authenticity. And so this book really
0:07
aligned for me because authenticity is
0:10
really embracing your truest version of
0:12
yourself, not shapeshifting in different
0:14
arenas, but allowing yourself to be
0:17
fully you all of the time. And you have
0:20
to really have an attitude of embracing
0:22
authenticity to unlock a life purpose
0:24
and fulfillment. You can't pretend to be
0:28
somebody that you're not and expect that
0:30
to be congruent with who you say you
0:32
want to be when someone would walk
0:33
through the museum of your life. When
0:36
you think about the role of leaders in
0:37
your life or being a leader, there's a
0:40
huge impact of leadership. Leaders help
0:42
us and others grow and achieve their big
0:45
five for life. So that's really
0:46
important to have leaders in your world
0:48
that help you strive for healthy
0:50
striving. Um, and we want to make sure
0:53
that we have practical application for
0:57
some of these concepts when it comes to
0:59
the big five. There's really awesome
1:01
exercises in the book that help the
1:03
readers identify their big five for life
1:06
because ultimately you want to think
1:08
about the legacy that you're going to
1:10
leave in your world and the legacy that
1:13
you want to leave behind when someone
1:14
thinks about how they remember you and
1:16
how you contributed in your daily
1:18
actions. There was a quote that I really
1:20
found touching when I was younger that I
1:22
read and it was something to I might get
1:24
it a little bit wrong, but it was
1:25
something to the degree of people won't
1:27
remember you for what you did, but
1:29
they'll remember you for how you made
1:31
them feel. And I think about me and my
1:34
big five and my purpose for existence.
1:36
And when I think about the legacy that I
1:39
want to leave or the museum of impact
1:41
that I want people to remember me by,
1:44
it's learning and creating. It's being a
1:47
good mother and showing up with
1:48
unconditional love for my children. It's
1:51
being a good wife and a good partner and
1:54
helping my husband to learn how to, you
1:57
know, go through challenges with his
2:00
best self. It's exploring and seeing new
2:04
places and new cultures and new things.
2:07
And it's making a difference in the
2:08
lives of the people that are around me,
2:10
not just in my family circle. And so
2:12
when I think about how do I make choices
2:15
every day if and what I love about this
2:18
book is because for if you're like me
2:20
where you have lots of big ideas but
2:22
they might not all line up with who you
2:24
say you want to be. This helps you
2:26
streamline the decision-making process.
2:28
And so for me I look at my purpose for
2:30
existence to serve humankind. So if what
2:33
I'm going to do doesn't somehow impact
2:34
that it probably ought not to be in my
2:37
to-do list. And then when I think about
2:39
my big five, the museum that is me, I
2:41
want to make sure that the actions that
2:43
I take someway contribute to one of
2:45
those experiences and it helps you to
2:48
narrow down your choices. So a way that
2:51
I've also employed this book or used
2:54
this book is in our hiring process for
2:56
my company. So if you're in a leadership
2:58
role, this can help you as well. We have
3:01
our prospective candidates read the book
3:03
and then they present to our team their
3:06
big five for life and their purpose for
3:08
existence and it gives them an
3:10
opportunity to dig into who they are and
3:12
what they want and make sure that it
3:14
aligns with our company's purpose for
3:16
existence and our big five. And that way
3:18
we're not trying to fit a square peg
3:20
into a round hole. there's consistency,
3:22
there's congruence, and there's an
3:24
understanding that the culture fit won't
3:26
be foreign and it'll be in conjunction
3:28
and synchronistic with what we're
3:30
looking for with our company. And since
3:32
I've started that process, the how we've
3:35
hired has been so much easier because
3:37
the people that we're attracting are
3:39
comfortable digging in and leaning into
3:41
some discomfort and having some real
3:43
thoughtful contemplative activity that
3:45
shows us and it shows them they're
3:48
willing to take deep dive into who they
3:50
are and what they want for their lives.
3:51
And is what they do, you know, seven,
3:53
eight hours a day consistent for them in
3:56
their
