What is Saturday Spark
As the leader of a purpose-driven company, I’m challenged daily to ensure our company is “walking the walk” and that I’m personally leading with purpose and impact at the forefront. The result is that I read, think, and learn a lot about the intersection of purpose, impact and leadership and have a few successes and a lot more lessons learned.
I realized that my own insights may be helpful to other purpose-driven professionals if I took the time to reflect each week. If you find this inspiring, practical or helpful, I would be honored if you shared it with your colleagues, your families and your friends.
— Susan Hunt Stevens, WeSpire CEO and Founder
