Our Life Purpose emerges from the integration of three critical factors: Core Strengths, Core Values, and Core Passions. When these core elements are successfully identified and integrated, we are in alignment with our Central Life Theme. Once aligned with it, once we have “named” it, we can “claim it” by choosing pathways and action plans in our personal and work life that allow us the opportunity for greater fulfillment and even joy.

                            LIFE PURPOSE CLARIFICATION

To help our clients discover their Central Life Theme, we use a combination of assessments, reflective exercises and guided introspections.  We work side by side with our clients, helping them to discover consistent, even persistent, patterns throughout their lives that serve as clues to their true nature and desires.  Many of these patterns have been buried from view because of external messages (from parents, friends, schools, employers, society) and internal messages (should/should not, can/cannot).   Introspective exercises to help in this process include:

 

•     Life Peaks and Valleys:  How you showed up during the best and the worst times of your life
 
•     Childhood Dreams:  What you wanted to be when you grew up before you realized it was “too impractical or impossible”
 
•     Hobbies and Outside Interests:  What you pursue, or have pursued in the past is often a clue to your ongoing passions and interests
 
•     Dream Lives:  What you would be doing right now if nothing stood in your way
 
•     Admiration and Contempt:  Who you look up to and who you do not respect
 
•     Values Exploration:  What is most important and least important to you.
