Leading With Your Passion and Purpose

“Light a match in a dark room and watch as the light instantly overcomes the darkness. Observe the power and grace of that single, solitary flame dancing with life. Now light several candles or kindle a fire and experience the added warmth and comfort extending from that first, vulnerable flame through others. This is the heart and soul of leadership—the essence of inspiring others.” John J. Murphy,

Inspiring others is a gift that keeps on giving. Whether it’s done through our work, leadership skills or networking, passionate leaders that lead with purpose help inspire others.

As a women entrepreneur I’ve witnessed the magic that takes hold when women inspire one another and help build each another up. It is a force to be reckoned with. On March 8th, I will celebrate International Women’s Day with the incredible women in my life. From friends and colleagues to coaches and clients. I am honoured to know some incredible women doing incredible things. The sky is the limit and as a woman I feel it is so important for us to encourage and support one another.

When I think of leading with passion and purpose I think of working smarter not harder. It means motivating and inspiring others around you to do their best work not by telling them to but by inspiring them. That is what true leadership is all about.

5 Ways to Lead with Your Passion and Purpose

  1. Know what you want. Outline the steps needed to get you there and execute.
  2. Respect your mind, body and soul. A true leader is in it for the long haul. Think marathon not sprint.
  3. Be kind to others. 

    “Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after having an experience with you becomes your trademark.”

    ― Jay Danzie

  4. Be gentle in how you speak to yourself, your body is always listening.
  5. Think big. Dream big. Aspire big.

  1. Fariha, I love this so much! I have always said that women seem to tear each other down way too often. It’s time for women to build each other up and come together. Beautiful things can happen!

  2. International Women’s Day sounds so wonderful, and since it falls on my mom’s birthday, I will definitely be spending it with my all time favorite ladies. Empowering and supporting one another is crucial, especially as women.

  3. So much inspiration! I’m loving the quote about our smile being our logo and our personality being our business card. It’s true and not just in business. It’s true in everyday life too!! Thanks so much!!

  4. This really is an inspirational and uplifting post to get people to think more and empower others before placing blame, pointing fingers or putting down. Love this so much, keep spreading the power of empowerment!
