Purpose is a buzzword these days, yet how do we really articulate what that is, how to find it, and how it helps us shift our leadership mindset? Leading from Purpose transforms our impact.

The head of a leader brings clarity to an organization’s purpose and strategy, but it’s the leader’s heart that inspires others to engage and participate toward that purpose
On the second day, we faced the Tetons. If you’ve ever been to the Tetons, you know what I mean. We were invited to wander around a magical place on the National Elk Refuge and honing in on how we apply our purpose to ours
