A Change of Purpose
A day in the life of a powerful woman
Ineffable forces were at play. Changes were palatable. She could sense her entire life morphing into something very different.
Claudia could feel a calming inner peace overcome her. Was this what it felt like when dreams come true?
She exited the cab and walked into the giant building. During the elevator ride she was surprisingly calm. Normally she would be nervous and jittery but that was her old self. Her new self was now beaming with a peaceful and soothing light. Everyone in the elevator could feel it.
Claudia walked into the boardroom and took her place at the head of the long mahogany table. The room fell into silence.
“The time has come for unequivocal change,” she paused for effect. “We cannot wait for change to overcome us. We must be that change. We are big and powerful and quite often in society it is the big and powerful who resist change the most, holding on for dear life to the status quo. Not only must we throw out the old models but we must change the core values that were the foundations of those old models. We must change our very purpose, not just as a corporate entity but also as the individuals who give essence to the whole. Everything changes NOW.”
