How do we teach – coach, really – the ways to find one’s purpose? I’ve yet to see a class called “Purpose” in a school course catalog (and I’m not sure I’d want to see it so silo-ed out).

I love this piece and resource from Unstuck and Stone Yamashita Partners.
May we be as concerned with #Purpose in schools as we tend to be with the other P’s above.
