1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
Where did this come from?

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,700
Yeah, so

3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:08,000
Well, I'll tell you I read a book in

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,400
2007 and it was called the path and it's a book by a woman named Lori Beth Jones and

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,920
That book changed my life and you know, I a lot of you know

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:26,840
Number one all of you listening leaders read everybody you need to read you have to read I insist it will make you smarter

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,620
And it will turn on your brain if you read so I read this book by Lori Beth Jones

8
00:00:32,620 --> 00:00:40,440
It was called the path and I you know have her heard for many many years about people having mission people having vision

9
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:46,120
But I didn't really think to myself Nicole Greer. You need one for your own life

10
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:52,480
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

11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,600
Nicole at vibrant culture comm

12
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:01,920
Is Lori Beth's little manifesto to create a mission statement for your work and for your life and

13
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,400
One of the things that I learned was that you know, while it's obvious

14
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,240
When somebody spilled spells out the obvious for you it make it can make your brain click and go. Oh my gosh

15
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,360
That's for real real

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,980
so I was about 42 years old when I read that book and it basically said, you know

17
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:23,640
you've got one life to live and you're traveling a lifeline and

18
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,040
You know, you need to get on with your life

19
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,360
You need to figure out why you're here on planet Earth

20
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,880
And so you need to figure out your personal mission statement for work in life

21
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:39,560
And so I created the mission statement based on Lori Beth's model and my mission statement is Nicole Greer is on a mission

22
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:46,200
To energize impact and influence people to lead a more vibrant life through engaging what is possible

23
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,200
And doing the work to make it probable

24
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,120
So that might sound like a bumbo jumbo of a bunch of words to somebody else, but to me that means everything

25
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,880
and

26
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,480
You know, here's here's the truth about our world. It's a mess. I mean just this past weekend

27
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,040
You know former President Trump was at a rally and somebody tried to kill him

28
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,840
And it's like whoa

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,160
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

30
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,680
But life is short and there's crazy things going on in this world

31
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:25,240
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

32
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,200
And if they understood that you know, you popped on the planet for a reason

33
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,000
You're not a mistake and you have some work you need to get done

34
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,800
Once you kind of grasp that oh my life has meaning and purpose and then you get on with it

35
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,280
You start to clean up little messes and you start to think about what you're doing

36
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:51,160
up little messes in the world and so when I work with individuals doing training or executive coaching

37
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:54,040
Or I speak in front of a group or an audience

38
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,680
I'm giving them information to lead what I call a more vibrant life

39
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:05,880
And then when each individual person is again lit from within you get a vibrant culture. You get a happy place to work

40
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,240
And here's what I know when when we have good places to work. We have good economy

41
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760
And and when people are doing well people are happy

42
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,960
And we can we can take that that prosperity and we can we can we can pay it forward

43
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,760
So, um it it essentially started with a book I read a very long time ago

44
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:41,560
And and I've been practicing what it preaches ever since because it's truth for me
