- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: In a world filled with constant noise, competing priorities, and shifting expectations, many people lose sight of what truly fuels their passion and direction. “The Power of Purpose: Reconnecting With What Drives You” is an inspiring and interactive workshop designed to help participants pause, reflect, and realign with their deeper sense of meaning.

This workshop guides attendees through a thoughtful exploration of personal values, strengths, and life experiences, uncovering the core motivations that shape their goals and everyday choices. Participants will learn how purpose acts as a stabilizing force—giving clarity during uncertainty, increasing resilience in the face of challenges, and reigniting motivation when burnout or distraction takes hold.

Through reflection exercises, group dialogue, and practical tools, this session empowers individuals to:

Identify personal values and what truly matters:
Clarify goals that align with inner purpose
Understand how purpose enhances motivation, well-being, and performance
Recognize internal and external barriers that disconnect us from our “why”
Create a personal purpose statement and actionable steps for living it out

Whether you are entering a new season, preparing for a major transition, or simply want to start the year with intention, this workshop provides the insight, inspiration, and momentum needed to move forward with confidence and meaning.

Presented by Sherlina Thomas, Ph.D., MSW, Assistant Director for Student Support Services – Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing (ATDM) at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR).
