The Purpose Effect in Action: Real Stories of Transformation
True stories from the frontlines of purpose-driven change in individuals and organizations.
It’s one thing to talk about purpose in theory—but what happens when real people put these ideas into practice? 'The Purpose Effect' is filled with inspiring stories of transformation, from frontline workers to top executives. These stories prove that purpose isn’t just for visionaries; it’s for everyone.
Turning Jobs into Callings
