Everyone wants meaning in what they do. But is it something you find, or something you have to define for yourself? Dan Pontefract, Chief Envisioner at TELUS Transformation Office, adjunct professor at the University of Victoria, and author, has been studying (and practicing) purpose, and its effects, for decades.

Defining (and continually redefining) your purpose, and seeing it reflected by the organization you work for, is essential for employees at every level of a company to connect with the larger meaning of what they do for a living.

Join us as we interview Dan about finding, developing, and practicing purpose laid out in his new book, The Purpose Effect, in a free, HRCI-accredited webinar.

What you’ll learn:

•Ways to find the “sweet spot” of personal, organizational, and role-based purpose.

•Why more and more companies are chasing purpose beyond profit.

•How to find and define your own purpose.
