What will I be working on?
You have a mission. Something you are striving to progress to see come to fruition. This might be a personal project or a professional one.
You are refining your purpose and hoping to align this purpose with your professional mandate. How does this fit into the bigger picture and where might support come from?
You are an innovation enthusiast but you lack direction. Solutions are effective when they solve real problems. How might you identify the problems worth solving?
You are looking to align with others who share your path, and learn from those experiences and expertise derived from different backgrounds or disciplines than your own.
