What is your purpose? Do you know? Are you living it, following it or letting it slip by?

This workshop provides an opportunity to look deeper into your purpose and see how it can be expressed both in your personal life and your career. Perhaps you have been toying with the idea of going back to work, or changing your career, or starting something new.

As you allow yourself to make the next big, or small, step in your life, take the time to dive deeper into your purpose to inform those big life, and career, decisions.
