Have you found your purpose?

Unilever exec shares the key to finding a more purposeful life, starting today.

Ignite the Spark!

At Unilever, we’re helping every single one of our employees find their purpose. Our special workshops that help our people to uncover the thing that really makes them tick. Because we know that companies with purpose last, brands with purpose grow, and people with purpose thrive.

So if you’re struggling in whatever role you are currently fulfilling, I urge you to take a moment to ask yourself these questions:

1. What do you love doing so much that it makes you end the day with as much energy as when you started it?
2. How would you friends, family and colleagues describe your individual talents?
3. When have you been brave enough to fail — then learn from it and go on to achieve greater things?
4. How can you contribute to a world that’s more compassionate, more empathetic and more human?
5. How can you help someone in your life find their purpose?

Find your purpose, find what excites you, discover what you feel passionate about, and go for it.

So what about my purpose? After a lot of soul, I realised that other people give me my real sense of purpose. I love to meet, understand, empathise with and empower new people every single day.

Since it was founded in 1929, Unilever has always prided itself on being a purposeful company. So, at the age of twenty-three, I joined as a trainee in the HR department. A quarter of century later and I’m here doing what I love best — working with people, and helping them to find their own purpose.

In short, my purpose is to ignite the human Spark in everyone — to build a better business and ultimately, build a better world.

Now, how about you tell me yours?
