EP 22: Drives in Action: Highlights and Human Moments from the Year
Loading player...
In this final episode of The DRIVE Podcast for the year, we look back on the journey we’ve taken together—exploring the drives, unpacking how they shape communication, and discovering how they influence the way we lead, connect, and create movement.
Throughout the year, we learned that drives are more than inner traits; they form the rhythm of every conversation. The Articulator thrives when expressing, the Contemplator needs space to think, the Captain leads through direction, and the Caretaker connects through empathy. Understanding this helped us see that communication is ultimately an energy exchange—and when we manage our drives well, we create space for real understanding.
We moved from theory into action, hearing the authentic stories behind real drives. These stories reminded us that our drives aren’t random—they’re clues to purpose. We saw this echoed in two powerful books released this year:
“There Is a Reason You Are Here” by Gavin Lund and “Burn the Org Chart” by Dries Lombaard both offer new ways to understand purpose and leadership through rhythm, energy, and contribution. One key idea stood out: leadership isn’t about position—it’s about movement. Teams thrive when people stop waiting for permission and start moving with awareness.
As we reflect on the year, we’re asking listeners:
When did you feel most energised?
When did you feel drained?
Those moments point to where your contribution truly lies.
Your drives are your compass. Follow where your energy flows and you’ll find both impact and meaning.
As we head into next year, we’ll move from awareness to application—exploring practical ways to master your drives and hearing from guests who are living this rhythm in real time.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Stay awake, stay connected, and keep moving with your drive.
