The Power Of Story
Cutting edge research shows that the more we think about our lived experiences as stories, the more purposeful and meaningful our lives become.
The most common story we apply to our lives is that of a journey – a story that connects the dots between your past, present, and future.
Purpose Journeys
Our research has identified four core stories–we call them purpose journeys–that lead to a sense of purpose and belonging.
Strengths
The story of your aspirational best self
JOURNEYS
Values
The story of what’s most important to you
JOURNEYS
Skills
The story of your growth and mastery
JOURNEYS
Impact
The story of the lasting impact you wish to make
JOURNEYS
Connecting the Dots: Future, Past, and Present
Each purpose journey shares the same narrative framework:
Envisioning the Future
Explore a future aspiration that’s personally meaningful
STAGE ONE
Reflecting on the Past
Revisit your past to find experiences that motivate your future aspirations
STAGE TWO
Acting in the Present
Craft an intentional action today that brings you closer to your future self
STAGE THREE
By embarking on these purpose journeys, you’ll learn the art of purpose crafting, enabling you to author your own unique stories as you continue on your education, vocation, and life journeys.
