Are You Living on Purpose?
Writing a Personal Mission Statement

E157 Student Union
Cindy Schisler
We all have plans, goals, and desires for our careers, family, and personal interests. However, if you are like most of us in the craziness of day-to-day living those plans often get tucked away in our mental “to do” list and we never take the time to breathe life into them and make them evolve. Attend this workshop and Cindy will help you start the process of writing a personal mission statement. She will focus on what you want to accomplish in different areas of your life and who you want to become over the next one to three years. Writing a personal mission statement is a way to focus your energy, actions, behaviors and decisions toward the things that mean the most to you.
