The Purpose checkup. What gets you up in the morning?

Purpose goes by many names and descriptions. Richard Leider, a true pioneer in coaching refers to purpose as "your reason for getting up in the morning." I have successfully shared many of his checklists and models with clients for over a decade and commit myself to an annual purpose review. My accountant and financial adviser review my financial situation every year, and my doctor looks after my health with regular physical checkups. So, if money, medicine and meaning are all essential to a purposeful life, I annually use Richard's purpose checkup to ensure that my spirit, my sense of purpose, remains healthy.

I came across Richard's work in an excellent collection of writings from the world's greatest coaches in 2013. It has helped many of my clients unpack where they are at a given point in time and helped to sharply define what the coaching assignment is really about.

If you feel that everything is not in sync between your outer life, what you have, your inner life, what you are doing and your spiritual life, your sense of being, I am running a series of short clinics to help clients who might be struggling with the point of it all.
