In the midst of the tumult of transitions, including the big ones we find ourselves navigating in the world right now, there’s often an opportunity. In this conversation, we’ll explore the opportunities transitions can create to recalibrate toward what matters most, and the power of reconnecting to our sense of purpose, especially when we find ourselves lost, stuck or untethered. We’ll talk about what we know so far about the power of connecting with purpose and introduce a framework and simple practices for supporting yourself and others in orienting toward what each of us uniquely contributes to our parts of the world.
