1. Why is finding your purpose so elusive, for even the most accomplished persons?

Though others may see you as creative and accomplished, sometimes you may feel disconnected from your passion and purpose. Purpose, Noble Purpose, is still alive within you, but you lose touch with it. Your purpose is expressed in every part of your life, at work, at home, with friends, family, and strangers.

When you’re in touch with your purpose and passion, you feel powerful, enabled, even ennobled, but when you become disconnected from that spark inside you, you feel powerless, almost helpless, less than, and not enough.

Perhaps you’ve looked in the wrong places, tried to do the wrong things. You try logic, reason and analysis to reconnect with your Noble Purpose: you try to work harder , better, more efficiently—and none of this works either; in fact, it takes you further away from what you’re searching for. So, what will work?

Noble Purpose is a process that reconnects you with who you uniquely, essentially are, and the Noble Purpose Spiral illustrates your pathway back to the source of your lost passion and purpose. You may rediscover long-standing goals and dreams or envision new ones that better fit who you have become.

2. How does Noble Purpose respond?

The Noble Purpose spiral provides you with a map — clear, actionable steps giving you remarkable access to your purpose, to what you can do in your life. Doing the exercises, listening to and sharing with others in your group, and being mentored by facilitators who know the territory, you begin to realize what you are capable of creating in the world. What this process does is to break through old, static ways of thinking and reacting, giving you the vision and freedom to change your concept of reality. Descartes said “I think, therefore I am” — when the perception changes, so does the reality. The process, learning how to navigate and use the Noble Purpose spiral, can be approached through a variety of programs: gateways, in-person groups and teleworkshops are designed and scheduled to fit into the lives of working people.

3. Can I count on Noble Purpose to assist me?
