What if purpose is not something you discover someday… but something you live today? In this episode of Development Reimagined, Chin and Anita explore what it really means to reimagine purpose at work and in life. Inspired by Jane Goodall’s powerful message to a nine-year-old aspiring biologist, this conversation challenges leaders and organizations to stop postponing purpose and start nurturing it now. They unpack whether purpose is fixed or evolving, why so many adults feel disconnected from meaning, and how organizations can create space for employees to experiment, express, and connect their personal purpose to their professional roles. If organizations expect alignment with their mission, should they not also care about the individual purpose each person brings through the door? In this episode, we explore:

• Why purpose does not have to wait for a title, degree, or future milestone
• Whether purpose is fixed or simply shows up differently over time
• How leaders can help employees connect their deeper purpose to everyday work
• Why asking “What is your purpose?” may be a transformative interview question
• The role HR, L&D, and executives play in creating environments where purpose can shine
