TransForMission:
Your Path to Purpose
A Book, A Workshop, A Way of Life
For every milestone
It’s time to consider the next stage of your life. It’s time to uncover your Purpose. You might find something you’ve never done before, or you might discover a new perspective on something you’ve always loved.
TransForMission is a five-step process. Its roots are in Communication Theory. Its heart is in Empathy.
One of the keys to TransForMission is the inspiration from other people in the class. The result is a rich experience that offers the best of individual and group reflection.
Participants have found Purpose in starting businesses, advancing their education, managing soup kitchens for congregations, opening a private school, launching their retirement, starting second (and third) careers and moving to new homes.
Large and small Purposes have one thing in common: They make the world a better place.
You can do anything you set your mind to do.
The TransForMission book is available on Amazon.
