Purposeful Leadership Program

Why do you want to be a leader? The answer to that question will make a significant difference in how well you lead. Why you lead determines how well you lead.

Are you a purposeful leader? Your purpose inspires why you lead and how you engage others. Richard will present a practical framework and three paths for becoming a more purposeful leader. Purpose is fundamental to health, healing, happiness, and, ultimately, to becoming a trusted leader.

The Purpose Checkup: “Is Your Calling Calling?”

When our lives feel uncertain or ungrounded, purpose gives us the will not just to live, but to live fully with a sense of well-being. Purpose is not just for a gifted few, but something each one of us possesses and can uncover.

Join us for this first in-depth, practical workshop in The Marsh’s year-long Purpose Project with leading life coach Richard Leider. Discover your purpose through living a purpose-centered year. Rather than flowing along with chronic busyness (or boredom), learn how choosing to live for what matters most changes everything. There is mounting scientific evidence that supports the power of purpose. And the evidence underscores that the desire for purpose is not a trend—we’re hardwired for it. Quite simply, having a sense of purpose makes us neurologically and physiologically better—at work, in school, and in life.

In this 3-hour immersion experience, you will engage in simple, enjoyable, purpose-focused practices and reflections so that you can:

  • Unlock your unique purpose
  • Reveal your calling
  • Practice living on purpose every day of the year
  • Understand…
    • The neuroscience of purpose: how contributing makes us better
    • How purpose activates resilience and protects our brain
    • Why purpose, not happiness, provides enduring fulfillment


Date:
  May 1, 2019
Time:  1:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Cost:  $35.00 / $39.00 (includes workshop materials)

Unpacking Purpose Webinar

Becoming a purposeful leader is fundamental, today, to creating trust and engagement.

Unpack. Repack. Repeat. This is is an essential life and leadership skill, today.

  • What is purpose?
  • Why is it fundamental to life and leadership?
  • How do I unpack and repack my leadership credo?

Unpacking means asking the right questions, rather than offering the wrong answers. It means pausing to take a look at what we’re carrying and why. Seeing if our leadership practices are moving us forward or weighing us down.

Join Richard Leider, the world-renowned executive coach and purpose thought leader, as he addresses the core questions and practices for becoming a purposeful leader.  Using the baggage-and-travel metaphor from his international bestselling book, REPACKING YOUR BAGS, this webinar presents a new passport to unlocking the power of purpose in life and leadership.

Following this webinar, Richard will be the opening keynote speaker at GILD and also offering a deep dive into “Becoming Purposeful- A Fireside Conversation with Richard Leider” [available to the first 30 people who sign up].

DATE:  Thursday, April 4, 2019
TIME:  12:00-1:00 pm CT / 1:00-2:00 pm ET
