Organizational Purpose Consulting
Clarify and align with your mission
Is your organization meant to be a game changer, but it lacks the clarity of purpose, engagement or alignment you need to fulfill your mission? Our program provides all three, ultimately optimizing your internal effectiveness and external impact.
We start with a complimentary initial consultation to begin the conversation to determine the best approach for your goals. Then we’ll design a customized program to fit your needs.
Consulting for Mission-Based Businesses & Organizations:
Align Your Culture With Your Shared Inner Wisdom and Purpose
As a leader of a mission-driven organization, you need to bring out the best in your team. Yet, to inspire people to perform at their best, they need to know not only what they are doing but why it matters.
When your organization has a higher purpose:
- You attract and retain the best employees, partners and investors
- Your employees experience their work as meaningful and fulfilling
- You make a greater impact in the world
- You create a legacy that lasts and makes the world a better place
Imagine uncovering and mobilizing your collective deeper purpose. When you bring your combined inner wisdom as an additional resource into major business decisions, you become an inspiring force for optimal change both inside and outside the organization.
This work is designed for your organization if you:
- Place a high value on innovation. You are adaptable and responsive to changes in your industry, and want to be an industry leader in your niche. You understand that embracing change is critical to your growth and sustainability.
- Know the old paradigms of business cannot sustain you, and are scanning the horizon for inspirational ways of evolving and recreating your business.
- Want to expand into a purposeful company, one that is organized around a higher vision that brings meaning and focus to work for your employees and stakeholders.
- Sense that mission, vision and values need to be more than dry statements on your website and annual report. You are searching for practical and authentic ways to inspire your people and provide clear direction, new strength and inner satisfaction.
- Want to leverage intuition and inspiration in setting your strategy. You appreciate that the best ideas often defy conventional logic, and know the value of following the heart and gut as well as head, and inner wisdom as well as logic and analysis.
- Appreciate the need to be a sustainable company, built on delivering products and services that make a positive impact, in order to continue to attract the best employees, customers and partners.
Through this process you can expect to find:
- A description of the essence of your organization, which will inform your brand and marketing message
- A detailed explanation of the transformational impact your organization is meant to deliver as an agent of change, and the ideal audience for your work. In particular, you will learn how to recognize the condition your audience is in when they need your transformation, how to describe the results they will receive, and how the steps of your transformation work. This provides a strong and unique basis for your positioning in the marketplace.
- The basic blueprint for services and/or product designs that showcase your unique purpose as an organization
- Your legacy mission and core wisdom message you are meant to bring the world
- Purpose-based marketing language that will touch the heart and soul of those you are meant to serve
- As a result of the process, much greater engagement, alignment, inspiration and sense of purpose as a collective
True Purpose® Program for Organizations and Groups:
There are three phases to this program:
- Accessing Inner Wisdom
- Discovering Collective Purpose
- Integrating Shared Purpose
Phase 1: Accessing Inner Wisdom
In this phase of the organizational purpose process, team members learn how to access a source of inner wisdom, including tools for navigating any fears, concerns or distractions that keep them from being open to that connection and information. In the process, they discover the details of their individual life purpose.
Note: Phase 1 of this program can also be met by previous completion of the True Purpose individual process through a workshop, private coaching in the Individual True Purpose® program or successful self-study; ask for more details.
Phase 2: Discovering Collective Purpose
In this phase, the purpose project team members resolve any collective fears, concerns and conflicting priorities that keep them from accessing the truth of their collective higher purpose. The purpose details are received and the team gains new collaborative decision-making tools to converge on purpose statements that light everyone up.
Depending on the size of your organization, customizations to the purpose discovery process will allow all organization members to have a voice in the final choice of purpose statements.
Phase 3: Integrating Shared Purpose
The final phase brings it all together – applying and integrating your organizational purpose into everything you do, at the pacing that makes sense relative to your other priorities. Examples include marketing, sales, hiring, onboarding, performance reviews and more.
Testimonials
“Audrey’s expertise to guide a group or organization to name their higher purpose is second to none. This methodology (TPI) is unique in how deep it goes to reveal the purpose that exists energetically rather than feeling like another corporate brainstorming activity. The benefit is a truly inspiring and intrinsically motivating purpose that feels ‘right’ to everyone involved. I’m grateful to have learned so much from Audrey over the years and for her to lead our team in this purpose discovery that is guiding our intentions, strategies, and outcomes. Her patience and compassion ensure that you will work through resistance and get to the finish line.”

“We have a 125 acre mixed-use sustainable development in Far North Queensland, and we were looking for a more precise understanding of our purpose plus how to articulate it in the marketplace. We also wanted to ensure that we walked our talk and increased our capacity to work in collaboration. Audrey got us inspired and excited, raising valuable questions for us to think about.
“I appreciate how carefully she guided us through our concerns and fears and kept us on track, so the process unfolded very beautifully. She created a lovely space that combined our heads and hearts. Nothing has succeeded at bringing us into alignment the way this process has. We are so grateful – it was absolutely huge. We didn’t imagine the enormous impact learning and articulating the components of our purpose would give us. We now see the end goal and the path forward is clear.”
