Why This Meaning and Purpose Training Will Transform Your Life and Career

Meaning & Purpose for yourself and your Clients/Students

Have you ever wondered what is your personal Meaning in life? What is your Purpose? Why are you here? Often, it’s not only about the big questions but about finding meaning and purpose in life right now, each and every day. This course will not only take you on your own journey to find meaning in life but will give you the tools, techniques, and confidence to support others on their journey of finding meaning and purpose.

Enhance Your Professional Path

This training is valuable for anyone in helping roles, such as executive and life coaches, counselors, therapists, psychologists, health care, meditation/yoga teachers, human resource professionals, and others working with people or teaching. For example, helping clients to create meaningful careers and relationships, helping clients find meaning and purpose in their lives, assisting clients in setting purposeful goals, as well as, supporting clients who might be facing a significant life change or loss to find meaning again.

Rich Meaning & Purpose Content

Professor Michael Steger, the world’s leading researcher and educator on the subject of meaning and purpose, has distilled his life’s work into this 8-module course that will enable you to deepen your own meaning and purpose while teaching you how to do the same with your clients, groups, and students. Research continually shows us that people who live a flourishing and happy life do so because their daily activities align with what’s meaningful and important to them. They exhibit greater psychological wellbeing because they know the “Why” of their life, which allows them to live with passion and handle life’s challenges with courage, hope, and optimism.
