I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Progress with Purpose course – I’ve done traditional in-house training courses before but this is the first time I’d done something for my own development that was outside of what my company. I guess I was interested in getting a fresh perspective and some new ideas about how to manage my own development.
The course itself was really high quality – I enjoyed the changes in pace and different focuses throughout the modules. What I found surprising was that I guess I thought the challenges I was facing were unique to my job role and/or company but in fact they are universal .
​
There were a lot of personal reflections and “A-ha” moments throughout the training. There were a few bits around gratitude, celebrating small wins or mindfulness that I might have initially felt a bit cynical toward but actually when I put into practice made a genuine difference to my mindset. For me, this course wasn't about creating a big, dramatic change - just lots of small, thoughtful changes that together have made a real difference to how I work and feel day to day.
I decided to take part in the Progress with Purpose course by Joy Poole because I was at a crossroads in my career. I had spent nearly a decade in the tech/telco industry, and done a variety of roles but still was not sure about what my next move was going to be. I had done coaching in the past so I knew the value of investing in myself and I was lucky enough to come across Joy’s course and thought, this is perfect timing.
​
The course was truly valuable for many reasons. Firstly, I was able to consume and work on the content at my own pace, which meant I was able to balance the thinking time required with when I could fit it into my week. The content itself was original and thought provoking, and it actually ended up unearthing a limiting belief I had carried with me silently for my whole career. When I surfaced this, I was able to realise what I had done, and take steps to change the way I thought about myself. This course was an investment in myself and the unique value was that the answers were 100% from me. When I gave myself the time and space to think and ideate, I came up with my answers and I was able to get excited about where I wanted to go next. One amazing aspect of the course is once you’ve realised where you want to go, you need to vocalise this with your closest friends and family and when I experimented with this, I realised that the limiting belief I’d held on to, nobody else believed.

For me I wanted to return to a sales career but I was initially rejected over a decade ago from a top job. I took that experience to heart, but through this course I realised that I’d be great in that area, and the only person stopping me, was myself. I am happy to say a couple of months ago I was able to move into a Sales role, and it felt like the stars aligned as soon as I got closer to my inner narrative which was only possible through this course.

If you’re feeling like you’re not sure where you should go or what to do next, I think this course is an amazing option. I’ve recommended this course and reflected on the learnings many times with my friends. Invest in yourself!
