A revealing and joyful scuba dive into authentic purpose...

Longing to know what it is, really, that gives you the greatest sense of fulfillment in your work or relationships? Forget any inventory or self-help approaches you may have tried in the past. In Noble Purpose, author and long time organizational consultant Barry Heermann describes what it feels like to operate out of one's unique and authentic purpose and sheds new light on why we tend to lose sight of it. More importantly, he provides an entirely different way of reconnecting with that felt sense of purpose so that recognizing its presence or absence becomes second nature. Prepare for a revealing and joyful scuba dive into the realm and heart and soul where authentic purpose truly and always resides.

Explore your vocational purpose with Noble Purpose!

The Noble Purpose book is truly an experiential read. There are many books written today about "purpose" but few actually provide tools with which one may practice sensing that purpose. This book is full of real life examples to clarify simple, yet powerfully life-affirming concepts. The activities that accompany each chapter enable the reader to actually experience their purpose in many artistic and thoughtful ways. I recommend this book to anyone who is truly committed to investigating their own purpose in a meaningful way.

Making dreams come true

For several years, I have had a strong sense of what my personal calling is, and a real feeling that I have a Noble Purpose in this lifetime. But I have been frustrated with not fulfilling that sense of purpose as much as I think I can. After reading Noble Purpose and doing the daily exercises, and really LIVING with each of the elements of the Noble Purpose Spiral, I found myself energized and focused. I was able to get two book proposals accepted by two major publishers just months after completing the Noble Purpose teleworkshop. I now recommend this book to everyone!

Inspiring and meaningful

Noble Purpose (the book and the workshop) is overflowing with profound insights and wisdom employing simple, intuitive exercises that have made an important difference in my life. I have explored spiritual themes for over 10 years, and what I love about Noble Purpose is that, unlike other more esoteric offerings, it could be applied directly to my life. The real learning comes from engaging the process and doing the deepening activities that are so brilliantly designed. I highly recommend the book and the workshop. -- Jennifer Blalock, Chanay, France

Using the Noble Purpose process, each person can become clearer about why she or he is here, what he or she has to contribute and how to bring these gifts into the world of work and life. The author's 3-circle model is one everyone can relate to and work with. The reader can choose to participate in a marvelous teleworkshop which connects the reader with others who are on the same journey. An important read for anyone desiring to live a more authentic, joyous life.
