Proven Tools and System
Crafted to help you save a lifetime of guesswork and agonizing mistakes.
A critical part of the transition to civilian life is defining your new identity and purpose outside of the military.
Whether you were a Flight Engineer, Infanteer, Clearance Diver or Engineer or other trade that may have been how you identified yourself but without knowing exactly what aspects of that life truly gave you fulfillment, it’s extremely difficult to find happiness and fulfillment in the next stage of your life.
There were gifts/skills innate to you that you used in that profession to excel. There may have been aspects of that life that fed some of your passions without you realizing or there may have been aspects of that life that matched up (or didn’t) with your personal values. These are all key items to know if you’re transitioning to the civilian world. Without having this knowledge about yourself it can feel impossible to move forward in life.
Shaping Purpose is a program that helps identify core gifts, passions and values, which will help CAF members find the clarity they need to plan through their transition to civilian life.
Military personnel can find themselves questioning their experience, transference of skills. By employing a highly interactive and engaging program, Shaping Purpose enables individuals to identify their gifts (skills applicable to the civilian world), passions (interests most crucial to their mental well-being) and their values (personal code of honour). A Well-Being model is also incorporated into the program. This includes the core areas of prosperity, health and happiness. The program culminates with the creation of a Life Plan which allows individuals to identify opportunities that are aligned with their gifts, passions and values, thereby allowing them to live a more fulfilling life.
We are thrilled to be featured in this article by Veterans Affairs Canada.

Call for Veterans and Veteran’s Family & Friends,
We can really use your help! We are conducting a study on behalf of Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) to showcase the before and after effects of our course on the post-military family unit, the course is called Shaping Purpose Veterans Edition.
We are inviting releasing veterans and/or someone close to the veteran. If the veteran is uncomfortable in a course setting, then you can be represented by them in the course. You do not have to take the course together.

What Experts Have to Say About Shaping Purpose
"It Provides Clarity"
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.
I feel that this is of great value to anybody at any stage of their life wether they are going through a transition because it allows you to do a deep dive into various aspects or elements of your life and you know look to the past look into the future and come out with a roadmap that you've committed to of where you want to be and exactly how you are gonna get there. So I think it is of tremendous value to basically anybody.
What the Participants Say
Shaping Purpose has been tested and researched with Veterans just like you.
Here are their comments.
 
After 20 months of studying our course, and interviewing participants before, and after, with a 6-month follow-up, the study gave us feedback on what Veterans are going through and whether our course was effective or not.
The Result?
It works.
“Its helped me think about, fight out, who I am, and that the military isn’t the only thing that makes me who I am. Knowing that, there are things that I’m going to be doing in the future, and that I’m excited for the future.”
