Pete Richardson is the co-founder of Paterson Group, an organization dedicated to helping individuals and businesses find their calling. In this talk from the 2014 Q Conference, he shares that the typical Western mindset is very linear, all about speed and getting-it-done.
However, we should take a more circular approach, adding data points to our perspective over time. Zoom out and understand that calling is cultivated over decades. The speed-driven approach rarely works.
The goal is to flex with life as it comes at us, moving into the right seasons, driven by the right definition of self. Learn more about this process and the specific questions you should ask yourself in this season.
