You will learn...

  • the 2 scenarios that lead to questioning everything
  • how to create your purpose in a sea of possibilities
  • 3 questions to ask yourself to gain clarity around your purpose

Perhaps it’s unwise to think about the future when there is so much for us to learn in the present…
