Where did this come from?
Yeah, so
Well, I'll tell you I read a book in
2007 and it was called the path and it's a book by a woman named Lori Beth Jones and
That book changed my life and you know, I a lot of you know
Number one all of you listening leaders read everybody you need to read you have to read I insist it will make you smarter
And it will turn on your brain if you read so I read this book by Lori Beth Jones
It was called the path and I you know have her heard for many many years about people having mission people having vision
But I didn't really think to myself Nicole Greer. You need one for your own life
And so in her book she has a little exercise and I can send that out to people if they want to contact me at
Nicole at vibrant culture comm
Is Lori Beth's little manifesto to create a mission statement for your work and for your life and
One of the things that I learned was that you know, while it's obvious
When somebody spilled spells out the obvious for you it make it can make your brain click and go. Oh my gosh
That's for real real
so I was about 42 years old when I read that book and it basically said, you know
you've got one life to live and you're traveling a lifeline and
You know, you need to get on with your life
You need to figure out why you're here on planet Earth
And so you need to figure out your personal mission statement for work in life
And so I created the mission statement based on Lori Beth's model and my mission statement is Nicole Greer is on a mission
To energize impact and influence people to lead a more vibrant life through engaging what is possible
And doing the work to make it probable
So that might sound like a bumbo jumbo of a bunch of words to somebody else, but to me that means everything
and
You know, here's here's the truth about our world. It's a mess. I mean just this past weekend
You know former President Trump was at a rally and somebody tried to kill him
And it's like whoa
Did did he see that bullet coming? Some might say yes, I don't know because he turned his head just right at the right moment
But life is short and there's crazy things going on in this world
And I think the reason why the world is in the shape that is in is because most people don't know that they have a mission
And if they understood that you know, you popped on the planet for a reason
You're not a mistake and you have some work you need to get done
Once you kind of grasp that oh my life has meaning and purpose and then you get on with it
You start to clean up little messes and you start to think about what you're doing
up little messes in the world and so when I work with individuals doing training or executive coaching
Or I speak in front of a group or an audience
I'm giving them information to lead what I call a more vibrant life
And then when each individual person is again lit from within you get a vibrant culture. You get a happy place to work
And here's what I know when when we have good places to work. We have good economy
And and when people are doing well people are happy
And we can we can take that that prosperity and we can we can we can pay it forward
So, um it it essentially started with a book I read a very long time ago
And and I've been practicing what it preaches ever since because it's truth for me
