Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Purpose Promise?

We're a company dedicated to helping people leave unfulfilling work behind and guiding them as they seek and step into employment that is fulfilling, purposeful, and best aligned with their personal life.

Why was The Purpose Promise created?

Many people view work as something they HAVE to do, and not one of the best parts of their life. Gallup statistics show that 80% of people are not engaged and satisfied at work. This is a huge problem, and the reason why we created The Purpose Promise!

Who is it for?

Anyone who feels their work lacks meaning or purpose.

What's the time commitment?

30 minutes a day for 9 days. These 9 days do not need to be done in a row, but are best done over the span of 3 weeks. Best results come when going through the process with a Purpose Guide.

What is a Purpose Guide?

A Purpose Guide is someone who has gone through The Purpose Promise process themselves and has chosen to go through the in-depth certification process so they can guide others through the process.

What does it mean to walk with a Purpose Guide?

Walking with a Purpose Guide is a personalized guided journey to move from lackluster employment to a place of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in your work. At the end of the process, you will have a concise document that provides clarity on how you, specifically, find meaningful and rewarding work that aligns with your purpose. Your Purpose Guide then helps you strategize how to find such work and is there to support you as you do so.

Do I need to go through this journey with a Purpose Guide?

You don't have to, but it is how you will get the best results. Purpose Guides help you debrief, analyze, and identify your purpose.

Each Purpose Guide has been through a detailed certification process and is trained to walk with you to maximize the journey and the results. The process of moving into new, more fulfilling work can be a daunting and emotional task. A lot of questions and confusion arise. It's difficult to logically dissect core issues, desires, and direction when you are facing these challenges. That's where the Purpose Guides' training comes in.

What if I need more help after The Purpose Promise retreat journey is over?
