Feeling Lost?
You're Not Alone

We're developing an online course based on our live workshops — self-paced and designed to work on your own schedule. Short video lessons, hands-on exercises, and guided journaling help you examine your current life, uncover new possibilities, and build a plan for living with greater purpose. The course includes eight hours of material, with built-in assessments so you can measure your own change. $297.

We're building three versions for specific life transitions:

‍Career Launch. You're in your mid-to-late twenties, a few years into your career, and wondering whether you chose the right path.

‍Successful but Stuck. You're well into your career and have built a good life, but something feels off. The achievements are real, but the sense of purpose isn't.

‍Retirement Crossroads. You're approaching retirement or already there, and you want your next chapter to be as meaningful as possible.

We bring purpose transformation to teams and organizations. Participants explore their own purpose while building deeper connections with each other, and individual purpose gets connected to the group's mission. The result is a team that's more aligned and more effective because people better understand who they are and why they're there.

Each engagement is tailored to your group's needs. The experience is live, either in person or by Zoom. Past groups have included law firms, counseling practices, nonprofits, law enforcement teams, university teams, and consultancies.

Book a free call and we'll talk about whether it's a good fit.

This is for people who want in-depth, personal guidance over time. I work with a maximum of three people at a time, and each engagement is built around you.

Over six months, we work through several phases. We start with a deep exploration of where you are now and what directions your life could take. From there, we design a purpose plan and you begin testing it — trying new directions in small ways to see what fits. Throughout the process, you have regular calls with me and ongoing access between them. By the end, you have a clear, tested plan for a more purposeful life — and you've already started living it.

Currently two spots are available.

$11,975 for the six-month engagement.

Yes... much better than we had anticipated

In our workshops, we’ve collected pre- and post-test assessments of life purpose, and we follow up six months later.Here's what we've found: 85% of participants report a significant increase in life purpose. On a 1-10 scale, participants start at an average of 5.3 and finish at 7.4 — in just eight hours! Participants also report becoming significantly happier and more satisfied with their lives. These effects hold for at least six months.

One of the many joys of doing this work is receiving the deep gratitude that people express when they discover what matters most to them. Here are sample testimonials...

"The experience was truly life changing. Our team came together, thought deeply about what gives their life meaning, and shared their dreams and passions with each other." — Andrew Garza, Trial Attorney

"Working with Dr. Wright helped me learn so much about myself and my priorities. I feel very well equipped to navigate the world around me with clarity of purpose." — Irene Soteriou, Graduate Student

"It showed me how to set aside my self-imposed barriers and deeply explore new ways to move forward with my life and career." — Bryan Dik, University Professor

I'm a professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut, where I do professor-y things like teach classes and conduct research. About eight years ago, I realized that decades of academic publishing, grants, and citations weren't having the wider impact I'd hoped for. Something was missing. So I went looking for a research topic that could make a measurable difference in people's lives. I landed on life purpose — specifically, how people find it.

Working with a team of talented students and staff, I spent two years developing a workshop to test whether we could effectively guide people in finding more purpose. What we developed worked — far better than we had expected. So we started offering it — first to UConn students, then to UConn staff through HR, and eventually to outside groups who heard about the results and reached out.

Now, we're making our work available more broadly — through online courses, group training, and personal coaching.

My TEDx talk on purpose

Want to talk about purpose?

I offer a limited number of free 20-minute conversations each week. We can talk about purpose in your own life, in your team or organization, or just something you've been mulling over.

No agenda — just a (hopefully) useful conversation with someone who thinks about this all the time.

I write regularly about purpose — how people find it, where they get stuck, and what the research says.
