Today I have with me Phil Preston on my show who takes us through some very interesting experiences of his life that has helped him shape his perspective not only in his personal life but also in his professional life significantly. Phil Preston traded in his corporate career to help individuals and businesses make a bigger difference in the world. And where possible doing it in a way that improves performance and profitability. He's a speaker, facilitator and strategist, and the author of the book, Connecting Profit With Purpose. Phil has worked with businesses large and small, along with a range of charities and not-for-profits. He's also a keen coffee drinker, chocolate eater and trail runner! In this episode, he literally takes us through some important questions which we all can resonate to on so many levels, for instance, how his sense of purpose was evolved from he grew up in Tasmania and how he navigated his way through when he decided to quit his long term job and start up on his own! And not to forget, he also dives into some fun fact about his great grandfather who came down to Tasmania from England a 100 years ago to help set up a Cadbury Chocolate factory where his job title was that of a Production Manager for the soft centred chocolates! Interesting, isn’t it? So tune in to the entire episode and gain some valuable insights from our conversation today!! Key Highlights of our conversation – 1. Purpose is something that will get you to places and will help you succeed in future! It’s a real thing and definitely brings commercial values. 2. For businesses, it’s important to review your purpose statement! The time and effort you put in always pays off.. 3. One needs to ask themselves, if I am successful – what are the measurements and indicators to measure my success as I need to take some accountability! 4. Perspective matters – No matter how well you think you know there’s always something you will learn. It’s very easy to stay within your comfort zone but it’s important to keep pushing yourself a little. 5. Purpose acts as a guiding light especially when things are constantly changing. 6. Purpose is powerful but it always needs context – both personally and professionally.
