How do we find meaning and fulfillment in the work that we do? Even more importantly, how do we make a difference in this world through our work? Finding purpose at work is all-important. We spend 1/3 of our lives at work, on average 90,000 hours of our lifetime. When an individual, a team, or an organization has clarity of purpose, they can step forward with confidence knowing that the work they are doing matters, and that the time spent doing so makes a difference. As you read about Davin's twenty-year journey toward purpose, you'll become acquainted with the people and ideas that have shaped both his thinking on the power of purpose and his decision to share his passion with others. Davin's most sincere desire is to help you, the reader, realize the same satisfaction he has achieved as you do the work to discover your own purpose and that of your organization. Finding Purpose at Work is the blueprint that will guide you.
