The Purpose Effect

Purpose drives people. It propels us to achieve our best, to live life fully, and to serve others. But it’s very helpful if your personal purpose is aligned to your role’s purpose and your organization’s purpose. For those who don’t find harmony between the three aspects, feelings of uneasiness and instability arise, which can result in disengagement from your work and the company you work for. In this video you will:


  • Learn what the three types of purpose are and understand how they work together.
  • Look at examples of purpose-driven people who employ their purpose in the work they do.
  • Create your personal purpose statement to find and enact a purpose-driven mindset every day.
