Conference Description

"Students often struggle to know and follow their truest callings and to create a match between who they are and what they do. These decisions need to be made as much from the soul as from the dictates of security. What’s at stake is a life of authenticity and integrity, a life that honors passion and purpose, and a life that’s an original and not a knock-off." - author Gregg Levoy

At a time when economic realities intersect with students' (and our own) deep desire for meaningful work, we'll explore the process people typically encounter in listening and responding to callings - when one's sense of purpose aligns with one’s values and abilities. CALLINGS: The Power of Passionate Work will provide attendees with opportunities to listen and share knowledge about best practices for career development as well as a chance for each of us to renew our commitment to our own vocation.

Join us April 27th at Indiana Wesleyan University for Gregg Levoy’s Keynote Address and follow-up Callings Workshop for an opportunity to reflect on how to help our students (and ourselves) achieve a greater sense of clarity about life and work.
