PURPOSE
04 — Featured Keynote: Before the Stage

FIND
THE WHY
UNDER THE
WHAT.

David’s Perspective

This is David's most personal talk — a reflection on the years before any public recognition, when the work was invisible and the purpose wasn't yet obvious. He makes the case that purpose is discovered through work, not before it.

Before the Stage

FEATURED KEYNOTE — Before the Stage

What Audiences Explore

  • Why waiting to 'find your purpose' can become its own delay tactic
  • Reading your own life for patterns instead of waiting for a sign
  • What changes when you stop performing for an audience that isn't watching
  • The relationship between purpose and discomfort

What Audiences Leave With

  • Fewer illusions about how clarity actually arrives
  • A prompt for reflecting on their own working history
  • Renewed patience with an unclear season

IDEAL AUDIENCE

University audiences, young professionals and organisations navigating change.
