A day of inspiration, impact, and much food for thought…
Where do we begin reflecting on the inaugural Purpose Summit held last week? We were thrilled to be in the company of so many industry leaders and practitioners, all with the same end goal in mind – to push meaningful ‘purpose’ to the very top of the agenda. We heard from a wealth of experts discussing where they were, where they are now, and where they’re aiming for – and divined some amazing advice in the process.
We’re now able to share recording of some of the key sessions from the Great Hall (more to follow soon):
