OUR PURPOSE

We help individuals and organizations harness their unique strengths, values and purpose with bold action to optimize well-being and impact.

We offer consulting, training, coaching and facilitation services that drive individual, team and organizational success. Everything in nature is either growing or dying. We work with motivated clients who consciously choose growth and take purposeful action to thrive, while empowering others to do the same. We help individuals align their values, strengths and purpose with inspired action that leads to authentic happiness – not that socially conditioned junk. We partner with our clients develop powerful mental, emotional and behavioral habits to pursue goals with a courageous grit and to meet life’s challenges and uncertainty with peace and confidence. Purpose, people and profits all thrive simultaneously when culture is central to strategy. We help organizations cultivate and sustain a culture of shared purpose, respect, belonging, accountability, excellence and results. No matter where you are starting from, we’ll meet you where you are and build upward momentum.
Our programs are anchored in human and organizational performance, neuroscience, positive psychology and well-being principles, with special emphasis on emotional intelligence, mental fitness and enduring wisdom traditions. With powerful and effective resources, tools and support, we partner with our clients to clarify their goals, creatively overcome obstacles and celebrate wins along the way. We don’t ignore the tough stuff. But don’t worry, we address challenges with empathy, compassion and non-judgment. Awareness, humility and courage are essential elements of growth and success, and we create the space for those qualities to emerge – in you and in us. Our team is known for its high competence, high integrity, high EQ approach to all that we do – and you can count on us to be enthusiastically committed to your success.
We believe that every person deserves to flourish with dignity, the opportunity to grow and thrive, and live a life of meaning and fulfillment. We also believe that organizations serve an extraordinarily important role in enhancing the quality of life of the employees, customers and stakeholders they serve, while using their purpose, power and platform for even broader good. Everyone on our team has been developing their own emotional intelligence, effective habits and sense of purpose over many years. Everything we teach, share and co-create with you reflects our deep commitment to embodying the principles of our work and service. We learn and grow from each and every person we engage with and are grateful for opportunities to collaborate in the spirit of collective transformational impact. When asked the thought-provoking question “What would you do if you weren’t focused on a paycheck?”, we answer: “We’re doing it.” In fact, since we launched Purpose Journey in 2008, we’ve contributed hundreds of non-paid hours through our community outreach programs, pro-bono service and partnerships with numerous non-profits. We love what we do, and we do it on purpose.

Testimonials

Testimonials

“Lisa’s emotional intelligence training and personal coaching helped me to become more aware of the events that trigger my negative attitudes and undesirable habitual reactions. My biggest problem was my inability to recognize when I was acting instinctively without thinking things through. Lisa helped me learn to catch myself right at that crucial moment before acting in a way that might not be in my best interest. It’s made a noticeable difference in my personal and business relationships and my stress level.”

Laura C.

Personal and business coaching client

Our team at the Family Wealth Planning Group of Raymond James had the pleasure of working with Lisa Gruenloh to develop the mission, vision and values of our organization. Over time, we had created variations of these guiding principles, however, they often became stale and unproductive. Lisa took our team through a unique and manageable process that allowed us to explore what was important to us as individuals and how that translated into the future direction of our business. Lisa’s professionalism and unique style engaged every member of our team, ensuring their voices were heard, while respecting the vision of the firm’s leadership. With Lisa’s help, we have woven these guiding principles into every interaction we have with our clients, staff, and the community. This strong foundation and commitment to achieving our long-term objectives has made a significant impact on the focus and growth of our business. Lisa has become a trusted decision making partner and voice of wisdom for us as we continue to take our business to the next level.

Arbor Day Foundation Logo

One important aspect of our mission and business is publishing writing journals. While we believe whole-heartedly in the transformational power and positive ripple effects of journaling, we are acutely aware of the impact of the publishing process. Our commitment is to not simply offset the natural resources expended in the course of our mission, but to contribute to a healthier planet in a multitude of ways.

We are honored to be an official Corporate Partner with the Arbor Day Foundation, supporting its global mission of planting, nurturing and celebrating trees. We participated in Arbor Day Foundation’s successful initiative to plant 100 million trees in forests and communities worldwide by 2022, sponsoring 5,000 trees initially with a commitment to continue our contributions in the future.

Journal for Change

Journal for Change® (JFC) is a 501(c)(3) that brings the transformational practice of journaling to organizations and communities through education, outreach and philanthropy efforts. Along with journal donations, JFC works directly with non-profit leaders and program directors to offer workshops that support growth, well-being, meaning, and success - all facilitated by certified coaches and subject matter experts.

Journal for Change® began as a philanthropic and pro-bono initiative created by Purpose Journey® Founder Lisa Gruenloh. As a company, Purpose Journey® has donated thousands of journals to youth programs, nonprofit and children’s hospitals, recovery programs, domestic violence shelters, leadership programs, and more. In order to have a more significant impact, Lisa has transitioned the Journal for Change® initiative into a not-for-profit organization.

Journal for Change®(JFC) is seeking individuals and organizations who share our passion for this mission and want to contribute to the exciting foundation. To learn more about becoming a Founding Patron or explore collaboration opportunities, please contact Lisa at lisa@lisagruenloh.com.

Blue Zones Project

Purpose Journey® began collaborating with Blue Zones Project (BZP) when this powerful community well-being initiative was launched in Southwest Florida in 2015. Our Founder, Lisa Gruenloh, serves as a strategic partner on the BZP Leadership Team and is a founding purpose workshop facilitator. In that role, she has guided thousands of community members to connect with their unique gifts and experience deeper meaning and fulfillment in life. Lisa also has served on numerous expert panels to share well-being and resilience tips with Southwest Florida residents, including special outreach events following the devastation of Hurricane Irma in 2017. When the COVID-19 pandemic prevented in-person outreach, Lisa stepped up to fund and produce a 10-part video series, Journaling through the Blue Zones Power 9, to address the growing need to help people become more resilient amidst increased anxiety and the impacts of isolation. With expert content from then-Executive Director Deb Logan, the series has been shared in our local community and also across the more than 70 Blue Zones projects nationally.

We are proud to work among hundreds of incredible community partners – worksites, homeowner’s associations, restaurants, public agencies, non-profits and faith-based organizations - who make such an important and measurable difference in the health and well-being of our community, and helped Southwest Florida become a Blue Zones Certified Community in 2022!
