Foundational Orientation

Living With Purpose is founded on the premise that the purpose of life is to bring one’s best into being. As the director of experience, the development of the mind is paramount.

Living With Purpose offers concepts and practical methods designed to support the cultivation of a good mind and, through it, the experience of a good life. This approach encourages the continual refinement of perception, interpretation, and manner of engagement—supporting thoughtful choices, informed judgment, and meaningful participation in personal life, relationships, and work.

Living With Purpose is intended for those seeking greater fulfillment and satisfaction in their experience of self, relationships, and work. It is for those who are willing to examine established patterns of thinking, explore new perspectives, and cultivate greater well-being through intentional engagement in order to realize the intrinsic rewards of a good mind—one that provides good company and directs the skillful navigation of life’s circumstances.

Experience & Background

Living With Purpose draws upon more than four decades of professional practice, sustained study, and personal experience. Beginning in the early 1980s, this work developed through engagement with individuals and couples across life stages, from college students to seasoned professionals and executives navigating complex responsibilities and decisions.

Professional experience has included extensive work with couples navigating commitment, communication, and shared responsibility, as well as with leaders and professionals operating under significant demands. Across these contexts, the emphasis has consistently been on cultivating clarity, sound judgment, and the capacity for constructive collaboration while remaining grounded in one’s own standards, values, and integrity.

Travel and participation in local and international volunteer service and community initiatives have provided exposure to diverse cultures, belief systems, and ways of life, broadening an understanding of how people relate, make meaning, and navigate life’s complexities. These experiences have also expanded the range of perspectives and approaches from which to draw in fostering well-being and achieving desirable outcomes.

Involvement in meditation and contemplative programs in the United States and abroad has included personal participation as well as supporting programs attended by thousands and helping introduce others to the value of meditation. Central to this involvement is the understanding that meditation offers a profound means of fostering a better relationship with oneself through greater self-awareness and understanding—bringing habitual patterns of thought and response into consciousness and cultivating the capacity for more beneficial ways of thinking and behaving.

Together, these experiences have shaped a perspective that emphasizes integrity, authenticity, integration, and discernment, cultivated through ongoing self-reflection and sustained, attentive engagement with life, work, and relationships.

Wishing you the best of all good things,
