Many of us come to an awareness that we want to have a positive impact in all that we do.  I share the "why", the "what" and the "how" of bringing it together to make it happen.  My purpose - my "why" -  is to help you become an agent for positive change, so you can have the positive impact in the world you know you're capable of.  When you find you own "why" - your own calling and path - you're hugely invigorated and energized to go out to do your best work.  You're able to focus your sense of purpose and your contributions both of which add deeper meaning to all you do.For resources and links mentioned in this episode, visit http://positivitystrategist.com/ps44
