Making plans for the future may have already seemed like a good thing to do. When uncertainty and chaos are established, however, on what basis is it possible to plan?

“It is no use having the expectation that things will not change. They always change,” says Joana Mao.

Strategic designer and author of the Clearing Purpose Framework, she was the guest for episode # 44 of the Jornada da Calma podcast hosted by Helena Galante.

“Replace the concern with planning with the relationship”, adds Joana.

In order to make this transition and take a leadership role, Joana brings philosophical issues to the center of the focus.

“What values ​​do we bring to lead our projects?”, He asks.

Whoever thought that the conversation includes the term "purpose", got it right! But not exactly in the way it is usually approached.

"Trying to find your purpose will make finding it more difficult", warns Joana, who explains why she sees a single purpose for everyone, only manifested in different contexts.

“We are at a time when we can do a lot for each other. This recognition fills people's hearts with meaning, ” she says.

 “We have an unquestionable importance in each other's lives. Enjoying this interdependence is what gives a sense of purpose. ”
