Workshop 1: Delving in our Why: Rediscovering our Purpose

Thursday, September 23, 2021: 11:00 – 12:00 pm MT
With Liz Weaver, Tamarack Institute

In the busyness of our day-to-day lives, shuffling from one zoom meeting to the next, we may lose our way and our core purpose. This workshop is designed to re-energize you and reconnect you to the core of your work. Why are we engaged as rural community changemakers? What is the difference we want to make in our rural communities? This 1-hour workshop will help you reconnect with your core purpose and build your core purpose statement that answers the following: It’s not my job, it’s my why.
