What Graduates Have to Say About Shaping Purpose
Be ready to change your life. I’m so excited to go out and live the life I’ve planned for myself. Before I didn’t have a plan. Now I have a plan.
The information was interesting and relevant because it helped us get an idea of how to plan for our future careers and how to more accurately and honestly identify our own personal strengths and weaknesses.
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed being a part of this course. I have learned so much about myself. I can’t thank you enough. I feel that it was well presented and well received. I have a Life Plan now and I am going to use it.
I would recommend this course to young people so they can learn who they are instead of pretending to know.
Without doubt Shaping Purpose was the missing link needed to propel not only Andrew forward but our family as a whole. Prior to Shaping Purpose Andrew tried so many traditional and non-traditional forms to heal and after years of exhausting every recommendation he ultimately lost hope and was about to take his own life. At that time Shaping Purpose was introduced to him and he decided to attend their 4-day conference. Immediately Andrew had a transformation and one he could continue to build on. Shaping purpose provided Andrew with the tools needed to not only reshape his days, his thoughts, his health, his future but it also reshaped his identity into the person he ultimately is and always was deep at his core. As a family, we have gone from a state of constant worry and stress, to an entirely new way of living and we have Shaping Purpose to thank entirely.
I found it really clear and organized because everything I found related to me and finding your goals, gifts, values and passions and helped me realize my dream.
Shaping Purpose really helped me to start to plan small things in my life that I could draw happiness from and take some small steps forward. Seeing the small gains at the beginning helped me build and build towards having a more positive outlook and I dug myself out of depression. I was in some dark places for a while.
By the end of the second day, I found out I had an inner compass and was able to identify my gifts, passions, and values that had been buried for so long. I got in tune with things that brought happiness to my life. The program helped me right off the bat because when I got home I realized there were times when I did just need to say, “look I really need just 15 minutes”. So, as a family now, we have a lot better understanding of what I need and what my family needs. It helped us big time and I give it credit for me being here today.
The program made me realize things I needed to be reminded of and it made me realize new things about me and my capabilities. It’s relevant because I was confused about my future and now I have a better vision.
I had no expectations and therefore was very happy as the program did two things for me in my situation; (1) provides reassurance that the choices my family and I have made are in line with my goals passions and values; and (2) forced me to take a rear view check and identify both good and bad events and decisions. This is something I do not do often or well and recognize clearly that my history contributed to who I am now. Thank you to the entire team.

What Experts Have to Say About Shaping Purpose
I think it helps people define the meaning, the thing motivates all of us. I think that people live their lives in a very passive manner, at times really woefully unaware really of what’s guiding their decisions. I think that to help a person live more actively, that’s really what I feel the program would do.
What’s New at Shaping Purpose?
Press Release: Shaping Purpose proves rigor and impact for releasing veterans.
“Veteran Affairs Canada initial directive to us was to not expect full “buy-in” until we could prove our program had “rigor”. We now have proof of rigor, and look forward to getting as many as possible, of the veteran population, to experience the benefits of the Shaping Purpose course.” – Lorne Brett
Youth and Well-Being
There is such demand right now by youth looking for help to improve their mental health. And yet, there seems to be no funding to provide resources. Who is in for change?

Embrace Reverence – Exemplify Relevance. That is the mantra of The Respect Forum. Stacey Richards talks about The Respect Forums she attended throughout the Maritimes.
