I walked away from Christina's keynote with tools that helped connect me to my inner purpose. I found that my purpose is so much more than words, it's something living inside me, and the values Christina helped me uncover are what really made the difference.

“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose,” wrote Viktor Frankl. It's the starting point for this workshop, and it isn't just a nice idea. The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted, has tracked over 1,300 participants since 1938. One of its clearest findings: purpose is one of the small number of things that reliably predicts a happy, healthy life, alongside the quality of your relationships.
In this workshop, your team maps the actual stories of their lives onto a timeline, from birth to today, and looks for the pattern, what they're good at, what they can't not do, what friends and colleagues already recognise in them, whether they've named it or not.
From there, we use two frameworks to turn that pattern into direction: Ikigai (what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, what you can be paid for) and the Golden Circle (Why, How, What). Both lead to the same place, a Purpose Statement built in two parts: “To [your contribution], so that [your impact].”
Contribution is your number one strength, the specific thing you can't not do. Impact is how you want to leave the people and world around you, and it's what gives your contribution direction.
This is also where personal purpose connects to organisational innovation. Humannovate, considering humanity first in the process of innovation, only works when the humans doing the innovating know what they're actually for.
Key Takeaways
Christina's workshops are customised and highly interactive, and include a 60 minute discovery session to ascertain outcomes. This one runs anywhere from 90 minutes to a whole day, and suits leadership offsites, team retreats, and any group ready to get specific about what they're actually for.
