Positive Self-Leadership: Get Clarity and Direction with The Life Leadership Compass
By Dr. Scott Zarcinas, Founder, 818: Unlocking Your Life.
A vital part of being effective is knowing where you want to go. You need clarity (vision) and direction (intention).
You wouldn’t board a plane or ferry for 7 hours not knowing the destination you want to arrive at.
Likewise, your time on this planet needs to have a destination—you need to know what outcomes you want to achieve throughout your life.
As Seneca, a Roman poet and philosopher, said:
“If you do not know to which port you are sailing, then no wind is helpful.”
The Life Leadership Compass
The Life Leadership Compass is a visual representation of the process of personal and professional clarity and direction.
You can use the Life Leadership Compass to identify the areas on which you need to work and improve, as well as strengthening the areas you are already good at.
Think of the Life Leadership Compass not as a set series of rules to follow, rather as a guide with which you can tailor to your own needs.
At the centre of the Life Leadership Compass is you. Everything in your life begins and ends with you, including who you want to be and doing what you want to do.
You are the central axis upon which pivots everything you want to become and everything you want to achieve.
If you are not the centre of your own life, then who is?

What You Can Do: Define Who You Are and What You Want to Do
Clarity of who you are—your ‘I am’—is therefore your direction finder; without it, you are likely to wander around and around in circles trying to find yourself, lost and not knowing which way to go.
Clarity of who you are is the essential factor in finding balance because it defines who you want to be, what you want to do, and why you want to do it—your inner purpose.
It also defines how you do what you want to do, as well as where and when you want to do it.
Define who you are and what you want to do.
