OUR MISSION
To restore the original intention and design for life and work.
The Purpose & Work Institute (PWI) is a center of excellence for purpose and meaningful work. We offer personal, professional, career, leadership, and organizational development solutions designed to help people and organizations live, lead, and work with more meaning, purpose, and intention. Through our research, programs, and training, it is our mission to bring about human flourishing by restoring the original intention and design for life and work.
OUR VISION
“One of the most important and impactful things you could ever do is to live and work with purpose.”

When we work and live with purpose, we help bring about flourishing and fulfillment in our life and others.
Restoration.
Through everyday life and work, we contribute to the healing and restoration of creation, reclaiming God’s original intention for His design.
Our Research
At PWI, our research, programs, and trainings involve a multi-disciplinary approach that gleans from the insights of industrial-organizational, vocational, and positive psychology as well as theology to create holistic methodologies and practical practices that empower and equip people and organizations to flourish in life and work.
Our Founder, Janelle King
The truth is 85% of people worldwide hate their jobs and are disengaged with their work, and nine out of ten employees would give their life savings to find meaningful work. But work wasn’t designed to be this way. People want to feel like their life and work matters. They want to feel like they are working towards a purpose, and their organization to provide them with the environment and resources for them to do so.
That is why it is my mission to restore the original intention and design for work by helping people and organizations reimagine and redesign the way they do life and work by creating entries, environments, and experiences for them to live and work with more meaning, purpose, and intention.
Currently, I am carrying out this mission as an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist and Executive and Leadership Coach, working with organizations and individuals alike to infuse more meaning and purpose into their lives, work, and workplaces. Click the button below to learn more .
