In today’s workplace, staying relevant means more than adapting — it requires purposeful growth. This concept, explored in my recent conversation with Mark Mears, bestselling author of The Purposeful Growth Revolution, offers a roadmap for transforming not just our careers, but our lives.

Mark believes we’re living through “The Great Repurposing,” a moment to realign with what truly matters. His insights, including the LEAF Growth Model, provide practical steps for anyone looking to thrive in a changing world.

The Great Repurposing
