Your life’s purpose – what is it? - TEDx talk by Adam Leipzig 1.Who you are? Your name, title 2.What you do? one thing you feel qualified to teach others 3.Who you do it for? Your customers, stakeholders 4.What do they want or need? Their problem space 5.How does it change them? Impact on others - > This is your “elevator pitch” Does this feel like your life's purpose? 2 questions are about you (inward facing), 3 are about other people (outward facing) Happy people are living their life’s purpose Happy people are outward facing - they focus on people they serve than worry about being served 5
