Discover Your North Star: Illuminate Your Leadership Path

A Purpose-Driven Leadership & Team Workshop

In a fast-moving world filled with distractions, change, and rising expectations, many leaders and teams lose sight of what truly drives them. They work hard—but often without alignment, meaning, or fulfillment.

Discover Your North Star is a transformative, hands-on workshop designed to reconnect individuals and teams to what matters most—their core purpose, authentic strengths, and collective direction. This experience helps clarify not only what you do, but why you do it, how you do it best, and how to move forward together in a more meaningful way.

This workshop isn’t about lofty ideals—it’s about grounded, practical discovery. Through interactive dialogue, personal reflection, and collaborative planning, your team will develop a personalized leadership blueprint that translates purpose into performance and inspiration into impact.

Built on insights from Find Your WHY by Simon Sinek and Leading Strategic Change by Dr. Christopher Meade, this session is designed for leaders and teams who are ready to do more than hit metrics—they’re ready to thrive with intention and direction.

Who It’s For

This workshop is ideal for:

• Executive teams
• Department leaders
• Cross-functional or newly formed teams
• Organizations seeking alignment, engagement, or a refreshed sense of mission

Whether you’re launching a new initiative or reigniting your team’s energy, this experience will help you go beyond goals—toward meaning, contribution, and cohesion.

Here’s how we guide participants through a powerful, purpose-driven journey:
