Course Overview
Finding and recognizing your purpose gives direction to your life and helps you to focus on the things that are important to you. Your purpose is comprised of your values (who you are), vision (your definition of what a good job looks like for you) and mission (how you accomplish your vision).
In this course, we will explore the process of finding our purpose in life and identifying our personal values. Participants will learn to employ a four-step approach to write their vision statement, enabling them to pursue and accomplish their mission.
Completing this course will help you:

Frequently asked questions
What does it mean to find your purpose?
In this course, purpose has three parts: your values, which are who you are; your vision, which is what a good life or job looks like to you; and your mission, which is how you get there. Clarity on all three gives your decisions direction.
Will I leave with something concrete?
Yes. You use a four-step approach to write your own personal vision statement and connect it to a mission you can act on, so you leave with a purpose statement, not just reflection.
Who is this course for?
Any professional who feels stuck or directionless and wants clarity, whether they are changing careers, leading a team, or focused on personal growth.
How does purpose help at work, not just in life?
A clear purpose steadies your priorities and motivation, so you focus on what matters to you and make decisions with more confidence and intent.
How long is the course?
Three weekly live sessions of about an hour each, facilitator-led, with reflection and activities between sessions.
