Do you ever wonder if there is something you are "supposed to be doing" with your life? Many high achievers climb the ladder of success only to realize it was leaning against the wrong wall.


You went to a good school, earned a prestigious degree, secured a great job, and checked all the boxes…but something is still missing. Psychologists suggest that "happiness" isn't actually your primary goal. In this 60-minute workshop, we will explore why fulfillment outlasts happiness and how to identify the four unique factors in your life that point toward your true purpose.
