Hey everyone!

I want to wish you Happy Holidays and thank you for being a subscriber and supporter of creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.

I know first-hand how wild your inbox can be, and I am so thankful you find value in my messages and let me be a part of it.

I don’t take that lightly, which is why I am making some changes for 2018 that I think will make your experience as a subscriber better (scroll down for more!).

This past year was exciting. With your support we… 

• Published “The Invisible Leader: Transform Your Life, Work, and Organization with The Power of Purpose” which was a #1 new release on Amazon, an Amazon bestseller, and was endorsed by Arianna Huffington! (I still can’t believe it).

  For many of you, as you read the book you probably noticed that it included many blog posts that you’ve read, shared, and commented on in the past three years. Essentially, your support of my blog made the book happen. Thank you!

  Oh, and if you’ve read the book, please leave a review on Amazon! It helps get the book recommended to others who may benefit from it.

• I had the opportunity to speak to over 5,000 people in four countries on discovering purpose and meaning in life, school and work. The purpose movement in schools, businesses, and lives is REAL!

  Check out my new speaking preview video here.

• I was a guest on 10 podcasts and shows reaching over 20,000 people sharing the message of purpose. Here are some of my favorite interviews:
  • Bookstr
  • ForbesBooks 
  • HigherPurpose Podcast
  • PurposeUp Podcast
  • Upside: The Business Growth Podcast
  • Voltcast Leadership Podcast
• Finally, while I took a break from regularly blogging this year, the top 5 most read posts, gaining over 10,000 unique reads and shares were:
  • The Miracle of Shared Empathy 
  • Think Millennials Are Purpose-Driven? Meet Generation Z
  • A Results Mindset vs. a Purposeful Mindset
  • The 5 Sins of Whywashing: How to Stop Misusing Purpose
  • Why The Best Leaders Aren’t People: The Charisma of Purpose

We’ve started some serious momentum toward helping people and organizations discover the power of purpose and I can’t wait for what 2018 has in store.

Speaking of, to make your subscriber experience richer, I’m introducing…

Based on feedback, in 2018, instead of receiving an e-mail each time a blog is posted, I am launching The Spark, a monthly newsletter curated with the latest inspiration, real life stories of purpose, blog posts, research, and practices for living, leading, and working with purpose.

Consider it your monthly purpose fix.

Check your inbox for the first-ever edition on January 2, 2018. I’m excited and if you have suggestions, let me know!

That’s all for now! Enjoy this holiday season!
