Authenticity

Authenticity Motivated By Purpose.

We are closing off the 2024 Through The Lens Of Purpose Lunchtime Workshops Series with a look at what it means to be authentic, how to put it into action and how purpose motivates us to stay in authentic action.

Why is maintaining our authenticity important?

Authenticity is the self-awareness that allows us to trust our motive (purpose), emotions, preferences, and abilities. It is a trait connected to self-esteem, goal achievement, and decision-making, and it is part of the foundation of our well-being.

What will we do in the workshop?

  1. Clarify who you are in authentic action

  2. Put words to your motive (purpose)

  3. Create an authentic purpose statement you can use to realign yourself when you lose trust in your authenticity and become disconnected from your goals, feel uncertain and have trouble making decisions.

Takeaway - you will leave with a working draft of your authentic purpose statement, training in a methodology to support future reassessing and confirmation of your statement and a workbook to track the evolution of this important work.

Starting In January, 2025

Unlock What You Know To Be True About Yourself.

Don’t be intimidated by the clarity of what you know to be true about yourself; it will validate the times you followed your intuition and the value you bring to the world.

This workshop is not about using authenticity and purpose to achieve goals, lead corporations or make change. it is about each participant uncovering something true about themselves (authenticity) and their unique vision for the world (purpose) and putting it into a statement they can use to trust and guide themselves through life and connect and collaborate in society. 

What will we do in the workshop?

  1. Clarify who you are in authentic action

  2. Put words to your motive (purpose)

  3. Create an authentic purpose statement you can use to realign yourself when you lose trust in yourself and become disconnected from your goals, feel unwell and have trouble making decisions.

Takeaway - you will leave with a working draft of your authentic purpose statement, training in a methodology to support future reassessing and confirmation of your statement and a workbook to track the evolution of this important work.

This workshop is very effective on its own and is a great introduction to our eight-week Lead With Purpose Course.

2025 Workshop Dates:

"My authentic purpose statement is "To create so we heal." This was such an amazing opportunity. I felt very inspired by Catherine's words as well as her journey. I had a lot of fun, and it was so cool to watch our sentences come together. I feel like mine really resonates with me so this was so amazing". - Habiba Desai

Each participant will create their own authentic purpose statement, a lens through which they can look at everything they do and the tools to explore it and build on it.

Through The Lens Of Purpose Workshops

  • “Catherine Lash's work on purpose is clarifying and grounding as I experienced in her Midlife Through The Lens Of Purpose Workshop. When I led a retreat on innovation in life and work, I wanted to centre myself. I wrote a personal blessing to each participant and to myself. Mine included my authentic purpose statement developed at the workshop: "I convene so we may bring to life." Writing it made even more present to why we all were in retreat together.”

    Jeffrey Davis - author Tracking Wonder

  • "Catherine's approach to guiding students to identifying their purpose was exceptional. With an understanding of each individual's needs, she crafted a technique that was attainable for everyone in the workshop. What stood out most was Catherine's ability to spark introspection among the students, encouraging them to delve into their authentic selves and consider their aspirations. This approach got them thinking deeply about their place in the world, giving them meaning and hope.”.
