Conversations With Purpose

Seven Focus

The Conversations With Purpose Podcast is brought to you by the co-founders of Seven Focus, a multi-faceted consulting team that works in partnership with you as you act on your personal, professional and community goals, engaging you to consider the different layers at play - experiences and understandings - so you succeed, long after our team is gone.

Building on the impacts of the Beyond the Training podcast, Conversations With Purpose serve as an example of moving toward the intended impact, by talking about the very things that makes connecting challenging.

Join the conversation as we share perspectives, ask tough questions and navigate the social dynamics, innuendo and interactions - all while we learn and grow!
