8:30pm
For many of us, professional growth and development may lead to job satisfaction, happiness, and feeling fulfilled.

In this class, the participants will learn a simple exercise where each participant will be able to sketch out and organize the different aspects of who they are in efforts to find their purpose or "calling" in their professional/personal lives and really get to the core of their true motivation.
