Anna developed The Purpose Equation®, an evidence-informed framework that guides people at all ages and stages of life to define and activate their unique, innate purpose, in life and at work. She helps organizations tackle employee retention and engagement at the root, rather than dealing with symptoms, like disengagement and lost productivity.

Her approach to purpose is derived from research, intuition, willingness to try new things (and fail), and, most of all, years of interacting with purpose teachers living into their 80s, 90s and beyond. Her workshops, courses and leadership development experiences spark joy and meaning-making in every moment of every day.
