Coffee and Coaching - Finding Your 'Why' with Hollie Kitchens Your "Why" is the deeper purpose that drives you to do what you do. It's not about making money or achieving fame - it's about something that truly matters to you on a deep level. Your "why" motivates you, which makes you want to get up and do what you do every day. It's your purpose, your passion. And when you know your "why," it can be a compass that points you in the right direction. It can help you find work that is meaningful, work that makes use of your natural strengths and abilities. Once you know what drives you, it becomes easier to identify where you're naturally at your best. And once you know that, you can start living a life that feels effortless and fulfilling.
