Let’s agree on one thing straight off the bat – ‘finding your purpose’ is not a final destination. It’s not a one-off act or the final stop on the train trip to enlightenment where we retire to a perfect state of inner peace.

Our purpose is continually evolving and just like us, it’s fluid, dynamic, ever-changing, adaptable and agile.

As our world changes and our drivers are shifting from surface level existence to a deep yearning for more meaning and fulfilment in the lives we lead and work we do. In today’s episode, I take a super practical approach to finding your purpose to find that elusive sweet spot of impact, joy and ultimate service.
