What is it about those people who perform a higher level of service with care and a deep sense of meaning? You can’t put your finger on it, but you can tell when a nurse sees his or her work as deeply connected to their meaning in life. You can tell when a teacher or coach goes above and beyond to pull greatness out of you that you did not even know you had. That indescribable quality that raises their work to the next level is: purpose, and it involves the commitment of body, mind, and spirit to their work, it doesn’t make the work easier it makes it more joyful, which allows the work to be less laborious and more like a natural flow, like water running off a ducks back the work becomes effortless and natural. This is the goal of this course, to make your work purposeful, effortless, and organic.
