What if purpose isn’t something you find, but instead something that you build?Recorded earlier this year, before life threw me a curveball, this episode ended up waiting a little longer than planned.But returning to it now, its message feels even more relevant.This episode is all about purpose.

It’s practical. And it’s full of insights that stay with you long after you’re done listening.If you’re navigating change, leading through uncertainty, or wondering whether you’re building your life and leadership intentionally, this one is for you.So throw on those running shoes, or grab that favourite beverage, and let's get stuck in!👉 In the mean time, don’t forget to share your thoughts on the episode, leave a review, and subscribe!If this conversation sparks something for you and you want to dive deeper into the research behind it, you can download all three of Nicola’s Purpose Papers – The Power of Purpose, The DNA of a Purposeful Leader, and The Dark Side of Purpose – here: ⁠www.nicolapye.com/purpose-papers⁠.
