Living with Purpose: Discovering and Embracing Your Core Values (S2.35)

10-07-2024 • 33 mins

We're diving into a topic that's close to my heart—values. We're talking about what it truly means to live and lead with intention and purpose.

In this episode, I talk about how important it is to unlock your own potential and understand just how powerful you really are. I'll touch on the urgency of deeply caring about a few key things and setting intentions.

We also get into why values are more than just feel-good words or nice things to put on a wall. They should guide our decisions and align with our actions, both personally and in the workplace. I'll open up about my own evolving values and why I've shifted my focus from "relentless leadership" to "living relentlessly."

The Key to Personal Fulfillment: "We need values, we need whatever our intention is, and we need to have a shared vision of the future with those that we care most about." — Perry Maughmer

Top Takeaways

1. The importance of consistently striving to create positive change in the world, advocating for relentless effort in all aspects of life.

2. The significance of self-belief and taking risks, even if failure is a possibility.

3. The importance of acting with urgency and intention.

4. Create a list of personal values, set clear intentions, and envision a shared future.

5. Personal development and who we become as individuals are more important than the accomplishments we achieve.

Perry Maughmer believes the world deserves better leadership; that in every human interaction there is the opportunity to either build others up or tear them down; and that leadership is the choice we make in those moments.

These beliefs led Perry to create the Potential Leader Lab. He wanted to offer those who share his beliefs the space and safety to explore transformative ideas, experiment with new behaviors, and evolve into the leaders they were meant to be and that the world needs.

This is a framework he has used again and again with his Vistage peer advisory groups and companies like Turn-Key Tunneling, Convergint, Haughn & Associates, I Am Boundless, Ketchum & Walton, LSP Technologies, and Ahlum & Arbor.

Perry lives and works on the shores of Buckeye Lake in Ohio, in the mountains of northwest Georgia, and on the beach in Anna Maria, Florida with his amazingly creative wife Lisa. They have 2 rescue dogs and are intermittently visited by their 3 wonderful children throughout the year. Perry & Lisa are living life in crescendo and focused on exploring, experimenting, and evolving their vision of a life they have no desire to retire from.
