Purpose Workshops are one-hour discussions that meets every other Wednesday 4-5 PM EST via Zoom. This feature, formerly known as Pause for Purpose, has moved to a more interactive format to include discussions, breakout rooms, and more.

Guests are featured who live their purpose by pursuing their dreams. They are involved in causes that matter, from entrepreneurship to personal enjoyment and all points in between. Subjects explored range from tracking bears in Alaska, to updating COVID vaccines. From causes born of personal and professional loss, to cancer research. And "golfing for change" that partners black and white golfers that they might learn more about each other.

The more sessions we facilitate, the more exciting ideas we capture with our members, enabling our purpose to inspire yours!
