Weve heard it time and time again, this idea of purpose being at the heart of our lives, but have you stopped to look at what living on purpose actually means for you? The world is an increasingly noisy place, at home, at work and pretty much everywhere you go. How do you distil it all and make sure youre not filling time with busy activities which may not actually matter? How do you work, or run a business, or live your life and not get to the end of your day, or year or worse your life and say what was that all about? In the words of Mark Twain, Two of the most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why. Get on Purpose is the podcast where we fuse what matters most in your life, and business, to create your blueprint and framework to get clear, get moving and get results. Each week your host, the informed and infectious Karen James, guides you towards what matters most as the key to living on purpose in business and in life.

Episode 25 - Social Business Day, India Forum Wrap
Monday, 23 July, 2018
In this episode, we are in conversation with Katrina Dunn, CEO of Grameen Australia, and Giles Gunesekera, CEO of Global Impact Initiative. We are carrying on with our central thesis of the intersection of the sense of purpose letter and this new thinking of being an authentic leader in connecting your head and heart and what it looks like in their businesses. In this episode: Katrina’s thoughts on the existential crisis of corporates all over the world and the tension between what the role of the company is and the tension between shareholder and customer primacy. Giles’ discussion on the services and vision of Global Impact Initiative and the “bottom-up push”. The Women and Girls Fund - what it is and how it works. Today’s Get on Purpose Action (GOPA): Think about how you can solve a social problem using some of your business skills and being able to take that to market in a sustainable way. Have a look at superannuation accounts and look at where that money is invested and see if it is in line with their values and purpose and if not, talk to your superannuation fund about your investing options.
