We spend so many hours of our life at work, so why should we be stuck in a job that prevents us from living the life we want?
This is where our "Developing a Career of Purpose" e-course comes in. We help career seekers find more than just a job. Our e-course and digital workbook help you find your sweet spot; plan for your financial needs and wants; set career goals; and set relational and professional boundaries. All of these things act as the roadmap to find your career of purpose!
Hi, Im John McCarthy
I may be the Founder and CEO of The Purpose Promise....but if you had told me that's what I would be doing back when I graduated from college I wouldn't have believed you.
Yes, have a B.S. in Human Resources and Executive Leadership, and a Masters Degree in Human Resources Development. Does that mean that my path after school was clear and I'd land a job in HR and love it? Absolutely not!
I founded a career placement company 18 years ago, served as the Operations Manager of At Work on Purpose for 5 years, and have been on a mission to help people find work that integrates with the life they want to live ever since then. Life is too short to be in a job you dread.
& I'm Robin Hannigan!
I absolutely love my role as the VP of Client Strategy at The Purpose Promise! But boy do I wish I would have had a course like this so I could have gotten here sooner.
I spent 7 years in corporate Human Resources Management at a Fortune 500 company, only to realize that too many people I hired and worked with weren't truly fulfilled by their jobs. Myself included! We should "work to live" not "live to work"...and our careers should bring joy & energy to our lives.
John & I decided to take our combined knowledge and experience and create this course so you can start right into a fulfilling & meaningful career and not dread a day of work in your life. (sounds too good to be true, but it's not!)
It's time to find a career that gives you meaning, fulfillment & purpose.
We have been helping people find purposeful work for over a decade, but when we realized how many people were pursuing massive mid-life career changes due to dissatisfaction with work, we knew we had to help people sooner - before a mid-life crisis.
The process is intimidating, and that's why we've broken it down, step-by-step, so you don't have to.
