Is the Next Generation of Leaders Allergic to Purpose?

Date: May 23, 2024

Let's talk about something that might sound a little weird at first, but bear with me—being allergic to purpose in your career. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy, but stick around and hear me out.

So, picture this: you're hustling away at your job, putting in the hours, and doing all the things you're supposed to do. But deep down, something just doesn't feel right. It's like you're allergic to the whole idea of working with purpose.

But what does that even mean? Well, think about it like this: just as allergies can make you physically uncomfortable, not finding purpose in your work can make you emotionally and mentally uncomfortable. It's like you're sneezing from pollen, but instead of sneezes, it's a feeling of being out of sync with what you're supposed to be doing.

These feelings pertain to people in every demographic and stage of their career...but today we’re going to be focusing on the Millennials: young professionals who are the next generation of leaders. If you aren’t one, you know one.

We know that tons of young professionals are feeling this way because of the alarming statistics.

  • 21% of Millennials reported changing jobs within the past year, which is more than three times the number of non-Millennials. (source: Gallup)
  • Only 29% of Millennials are engaged at work (source: Gallup State of the Workplace)
  • 43% of Millennials plan to leave their current job within two years (source: Deloitte)
  • 56% of Millennials said they would consider leaving their current job for one that offers more meaning. (source: Deloitte)
  • 67% of Millennials said they would consider leaving their job if it interfered with their personal lives. (source: Ernst and Young)

But here's the thing: just like you can find ways to deal with your allergies, you can also find ways to deal with the lack of purpose in your career. It's all about identifying what's bugging you and taking steps to feel better.

Don't just sit back and suffer in silence. We created a mini e-course called "Your Purpose Dreams Analysis Mini Course” and it was created specifically for the next generation of leaders. From now through May 31st we are offering you this course for only $7.99. That is a steal! Use promo code ‘STEAL’ to receive this incredible limited time offer.

Take action and make changes that will lead you to a career that truly fulfills you. If you are not a Millennial, then share this with someone who is. Help stop the “purposeless work epidemic” earlier in life.

It is time to shake things up, stop being allergic to purpose, and give this proven e-course a shot.

    As we gear up for another round of chocolate bunnies, egg hunts, and maybe a few too many Peeps marshmallow candies, it's worth taking a moment to discuss the symbolism in some of these things that correlates to the true meaning of the holiday. Easter is often mistaken as a springtime bash, but at its core, it's a profound celebration for those of us with a Christian worldview.

The Purpose Promise process provided much-needed clarity in terms of what I wanted from my life. First and foremost, about how my job and career would help me or allow me to reach that goal.
