Contribution & Meaning

Meaning is a building block of well-being. Considering what is important to each one of us and by elevating this to recognizing the broader positive impact in our communities and world, we shape the experience we create. By appreciating what is important and aligning our time, we generate more positive emotions. Recognizing our unique contribution to the IE Community and beyond is celebrating who each one of us is. By sharing ourselves, we enrich our overall experience which fosters a greater sense of meaning and belonging.

 

Living with Purpose

Purpose is a beacon that can guide us through the darkest of storms. This is especially true in a culture characterised by a deep fear of uncertainty.

During this course, we explore what true, authentic purpose feels like, and how we can use it to thrive in both our professional environment as well as our personal lives. Within the session, we will explore several keys to enter the right state to tune in to that “whisper that lies in all of us”, as well as explore why many current approaches to finding purpose add stress to the lives of millennials and distance them from their objective.

Meaning in Life

Man's Search for Meaning - Victor Frankl

Based on his own experience and the stories of his patients, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. At the heart of his theory, known as logotherapy, is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful
