In every job Tiffany has had, regardless of sector, industry, or job description, she has relentlessly pursued one goal: A world in which our gifts and voices are fully harnessed for the benefit of all of us. Tiffany explores the correlation between passion, purpose and leadership success. She explains why most people don’t know what their purpose is, and how each of us can not only discover it, but unleash it to motivate ourselves and others.


Educational Objectives

  • • Define leadership. She draws on the work of Marshal Gans who describes leadership as "taking responsibility for enabling others to achieve a shared purpose in the face of uncertainty."
  • • Explore the character traits you'll need to exhibit to "enable others" to follow you: agency, trust and authenticity.
  • • Construct a meaningful narrative that signals these traits. When she asks people "What's your story?" they usually rattle off their resume but what the listener fundamentally needs to hear are answers to two questions: "What matters to you?" and "How has that impacted where you've been and where you're going?"
  • • Explain the relationship between purpose and leadership and identify strategies to clarify personal purpose. relationship between purpose, and leadership and how you can get clear about what the former is for you. There's a common misperception that purpose is largely a higher calling you're suddenly ordained with. It can certainly be this. But unfortunately, this leaves a lot of folks struggling to "find" their purpose." She defines purpose as "a commitment inspired by experience." She'll explore how you can engineer your purpose and leverage it to achieve results through other people.
