Episode Description
We all want to find our purpose -- that thing that makes us feel like our life matters. Legendary coach, author and vitality expert Richard Leider defines purpose as that deepest dimension within us that tells us who we are, where we came from, why we’ re here, and where we’ re going. Purpose fills us with passion, drive and direction. When all else seems unsettled, uncertain, or impermanent, purpose gives us the will not just to live, but to live long and well. Purpose is not for a gifted few, but something each one of us possesses and can uncover. Vision without purpose is meaningless. Over three decades, Leider’s extraordinary exploration of his own life purpose has taken him all over the world -- and his research about the importance of purpose has shed light for millions. Join Kate to learn how his experiences with the indigenous people of Tanzania inform his vision.
