Providing Clarity

I want to begin by recognizing Michael Wick, Chair of the My Powerful Question Institute, Board of Directors, who was recently chosen for the 2024 Maxmillian Kolbe award. On August 10 th he will be honored with that award at the Marian Conference to be held at the Maxmillian Kolbe National Shrine. Congratulations Michael!!

This past month, I have had the privilege of presenting a PQ workshop to a group of 12 CEOs attending a Vistage meeting in Algonquin, Illinois. For those not familiar, Vistage is a support organization for business professionals. The workshop was well received and I have been invited back in July. One of the CEO’s in attendance has now invited me to present PQ to the leadership team at Clune Construction headquartered in Chicago. This has been a dream of mine for some time and I am very excited to have this opportunity. What possibilities would open up if members of a management team knew the purpose-driven lens each person was looking through?

I believe that, when found, your Powerful Question will put you on the path to full potential, who you were born to be and show you, “what’s next.”

We all have a narrative, the story we tell ourselves about ourselves. A Powerful Story allows us clarity regarding those early chapters and empowers us to begin writing a next chapter, one that honors who we really are and our role in God’s plan.

Living A Powerful Life

First, I would like to congratulate Michael Wick and Joe Hilke. At the annual meeting of the My Powerful Question Institute, Michael was elected as the new Chair, and Joe was elected as the new Vice-chair. Having served as the chair since 2014, I deeply appreciate the new vitality and expertise both men will bring to our efforts. I will continue to serve on the board and am more dedicated than ever to spreading the Powerful Questions approach to purposeful living. Sally Smits will continue to serve as Treasurer and Kathy Reid as Secretary.

This month, I had an opportunity to address a Vistage group of CEO’s in Algonquin, Illinois. The Powerful Question approach was well received. A number of those in attendance indicated that “What’s next?” is on their radar as they think about retirement.

Someone recently asked me how they would know if they are living a purposeful life. The simple answer: If you are living your purpose you will feel passionate about it.
