Business and ManagementCreating Your Mission Statement Most successful businesses and not-for-profit organizations have developed statements which define their main mission. This Mission Statement defines the key purpose of the entity and its reason for existing. It helps guide strategies and employees, staff or volunteers toward reaching the organization’s goals. The same tool, when thoughtfully developed, assists individuals in gaining clarity into his or her life’s purpose while guiding the actions taken toward personal satisfaction and success. In this introspective workshop, you will identify key roles you play, values that are critical to you, and contributions you hope to make in your life. You will leave class with a first draft of your own personal Mission Statement.
