#MonthlyMotivation: Connect with your Purpose
We often find work that connects with a purpose, such as giving to others, but then we get busy (and tired) and lose that sense of our personal mission statement. Join this webinar to re-connect with your purpose in life…that may reside outside of your work life. Either way, this practice can help us to be resilient in life.
