October 2012 – Conference – Journey to Purpose

Theme – Journey To Purpose: Dream. Educate. Thrive.

Latent and dormant, we are each born with gifts and talents. It is through experiences in life that these gifts have the potential to be exposed and recognized. How do we increase the odds of finding purpose in life? Is it ever too late to find purpose? What role can the education system play in helping students find purpose? Our goal is to bring dynamic, leading-edge thought leaders and educators together to share their ideas and expressions about purpose – how to define and find purpose, and its effect on the human mind, spirit and well being.
