Life Assess programme · Design first, then purpose
Recognise your purpose, live it on ordinary days and pass it on.
Move from knowing your design to a Personal Purpose Statement, a weekly rhythm and a 90-day Purpose Plan.
The first cohort starts after the first Know Your Design cohort has finished. Dates will be announced.
You know your design. What will you do with it? Finding Your Purpose, from Life Assess, turns that question into practice. Purpose is not just a feeling or a job title. Notice where your strengths, passions and impact meet, then take one useful step. Explore your portraits. Write a Personal Purpose Statement. Build a weekly rhythm and a 90-day Purpose Plan. Session 0, ten modules and a Participant Workbook. Personal development, not therapy. First live pilot cohort: £249, in return for feedback. Usual live price: £497. Self-paced: £247. A live place includes the self-paced course and the Purpose and Meaning Assessment. The first cohort follows the first Know Your Design cohort. Dates to be announced. Finding Your Purpose. Design first. Purpose lived. Find out more at lifeassess.org.

From design to purpose
Knowing your strengths is a starting point. Finding Your Purpose helps you explore what those strengths are for, test your ideas against your life and carry them into ordinary days.
