What is my sentence?

In his book, Drive, Daniel Pink tells us that "the secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world."


In Part Three of that book, he writes about two questions that we can ask ourselves as a source of motivation and purpose (see page 154).

1. What is my sentence?
2. Was I better today than yesterday?

How on earth can I sum up what I am all about. I am a parent, a manager, an economist, a learner, a volunteer, an analyst, a sister, a colleague and more. How can I get it all into one sentence? ..... well let me see... it goes something like this:

"An effective leader, empowering people and processes to be their very best"

Was I better today than yesterday? Yes.

 I peacefully parented, respectfully reviewed work, I patiently led new managers, and I was attentive to my health and well-being....


more to come.
