Turning Purpose into Practice
My workshops and training programs are ideal if you have more time to spend and typically range from two hours to full or multi-day retreats.
In these workshops, my goal is to move people toward developing the new mindsets, behaviors, habits and daily practices necessary to bring the stimulating topics of purpose and meaningfulness to life in a variety of settings.
Each workshop includes an interactive workbook with key exercises and supporting literature.

what people are saying
“…I’d spent months trying to give my team better challenges and to boost their morale. We talked about “the why” all the time and were still working hard, but something about the way Zach taught the practices of purposeful leadership resonated. I rounded up copies of Zach’s book, asked the team to read it before our summer retreat, and booked Zach to facilitate. Zach arrived with materials and activities customized to our industry and team and really dialed in on what makes us tick and how to sustain our true purpose. His sincerity and skill helped us think through the exercises; months later, the results still motivate and refresh us.”
