Session 4
The Brand Trinity
Clearly articulating what you do, why you do it, and where you are going is a key aspect of this strategic personal brand foundation. Leading with intention requires a deep understanding of all three: your Mission, Purpose, and Vision. This session we'll "warm up" by doing some more exploratory journaling. Enjoy the process and go where it takes you!

Underline, old-school highlighter, digital markup...
whatever feels right!
