Women Activating Women (WAW) recently conducted a research study among Latina executives, uncovering a barrier to the full command of their calendars (and their lives).
The poll revealed that many Latina leaders lack a clear compass or a "Northern Star," a guiding purpose that helps them navigate their careers and lives with intention and focus.
This absence often prevents them from pausing, reflecting, and pivoting when necessary, leading to a common pitfall: being overwhelmed by an endless stream of events, meetings, and relationships that generate noise and distractions.
The importance of having a clear purpose, or a "Northern Star," cannot be overstated. It serves as a critical tool for Latina executives to allocate their time and energy more effectively, concentrating on activities and relationships that truly matter.
This focused approach allows them to operate within their "zone of genius," where their unique skills and talents shine brightest. It also places them in their "zone of bliss," a state where they find joy and fulfillment in their work.
Additionally, it ensures they are in their "zone of meaning," where their efforts align with their core values and long-term goals.
By making decisions that are guided by this compass, Latina executives can avoid the trap of getting bogged down by tasks that offer little value or satisfaction. Instead, they can prioritize engagements that contribute to their growth, well-being, and professional success.
This strategic alignment not only enhances their productivity and efficiency but also enriches their overall life experience, making their professional journey more rewarding and meaningful.
By embracing and identifying their Northern Star, Latina executives can pivot from distractions into opportunities for growth, ensuring their efforts are directed towards what truly makes a difference in their lives and careers.
