Lead With Purpose
When creating the Personal Statement of Purpose Workshop, I started with the fundamental question: “Could clarity of purpose help us exercise greater agency over our lives in this rapidly changing world?”
The workshops evolved into an intuitive approach to transforming the abstract concept of purpose into something human-sized, deeply personal, and actionable.
The outcome: A single, memorable statement that helps participants exercise greater agency in their lives by staying grounded in what they recognize as true about themselves and guided by the meaningful difference they seek to make.

Purpose is just a word until you make it a personal statement.
In a rapidly changing world, how do we stay grounded in who we are and get more out of life?
The answer may lie in understanding what genuinely drives us and the meaningful difference we want to make.
In the one-hour Personal Statement of Purpose Workshop, we take the abstract concept of purpose and make it human-sized, deeply personal, and actionable.
No vulnerable storytelling, no blank pages, and no deep breathing exercises. Instead, we use a quick-fire, intuitive process to help you articulate your personal purpose in one memorable sentence.
A sentence you can return to as life changes, helping you recognize your value, exercise agency, and find greater meaning and fulfillment.
Put your purpose into words. Put your words into action.

Time: 12 -1:00 PM EST
A great Artist Statement is built on a clear Statement of Purpose.
An Artist's Statement of Purpose is one sentence that articulates the meaningful difference you want to make in the world through your art.
An Artist Statement, on the other hand, focuses on the creative process, ideas, and themes explored in a particular artwork or body of work.
Together, these statements help you stay motivated and focused, communicate the value of your work, prepare CVs and biographies, and pursue exhibition and residency opportunities.
“Catherine's passion for supporting artists in finding their statement of purpose was evident and created a super supportive environment. “ - Melissa Renwick, photographer
