Writing this week for Workingdads.co.uk I consider how understanding your purpose is a key part of creating direction in your life.

I share 3 key thoughts to remember

• Your purpose reflects your circumstances – it will change.

• ‘Career’ and ‘Life’ are not separate entities – they are intertwined

• Aligning your purpose with your partner and family is key.

But along the way I muse about what purpose looked like when I was a 22 year old graduate trainee (not a lot to be honest), how being close to my old student bar uni was either a great decision or an awful one and how fatherhood created new purpose.
