Value 1.1 – Unique

I’m going to spend the week reflecting more on this theme of value, including our unique value add, partnerships, empathy, seasons, and boundaries.

1.1 Unique

Every day, we all have the opportunity to add value to one another and our world.

We know if this value we’re offering is valuable by the way it’s received. By the way people engage with it and respond.

There’s potential to add way more value than we have time for. A seemingly infinite number of possible ways to deploy our time, energy and attention.

So we must prioritise.

Focus.

Niche.

A question i’ve been reflecting on lots is that of unique value add. What is the unique contribution I can make to the people around me and the world?

This strips the options right down. A husband. A father. A son. A brother.

Beyond that, I have friendships and my work/vocation.

And there’s only a handful of friends and work opportunities that I could humbly say that I, Mark Dombkins, could add unique value to (ie other’s aren’t in a place to do what I could).

It’s interesting that our (my) priorities – especially my allocation of time and energy – would ever reflect something different to those areas that I can add my unique value to.

So why does it happen so often??

To be continued…
