Intentional Living
Turn good intentions into deliberate actions that add value to others.
By John C. Maxwell
What this programme helps you work on.
Good intentions do not always become useful contributions. Intentional Living explores how to connect a meaningful purpose with deliberate action for other people. Participants reflect on who they can help, what they can contribute and how their ordinary routines can make room for that contribution.
Who it suits
People seeking purpose through daily contribution.
The focus
Significance, contribution, partnerships and purposeful routines.
Inside the programme
What you’ll explore.
These themes guide the learning. The depth and selection depend on the format and the needs you bring.
Begin with a deliberate action
Move from a broad desire to help towards a specific act that fits your present circumstances.
Contribute with others
Consider people who share your direction and how working together could make the effort more useful.
Make contribution a practice
Review your routine, notice opportunities and plan how to sustain action beyond an initial burst of motivation.
From ideas to action
Put it into practice.
Choose a meaningful act of contribution and put it into your week.
An example to work through
Choose someone at work whose progress you could support. Define a useful contribution, such as sharing experience or making time for feedback, and schedule the first action rather than waiting for spare time.
This is an example of local application. We adapt the discussion to your situation and agreed scope.
Your practical takeaways
What you’ll work towards.
- A personal reason for contributing to others.
- A specific action matched to a person or need.
- A place in your weekly routine for following through.
The learning experience
How it works.
Facilitated learning combines explanation, discussion and reflection on participants’ own situations. Where the agreed format allows, you practise an application and decide what to try at work. Scope, duration and any follow-up are agreed around the group’s needs.
