<h5 style="text-align: center;">Wayward Purpose explores how individuals and organizations move from disorientation to alignment.</h5>

Wayward Purpose is the philosophy I use to orient my own life.After almost two decades working in military and national security organizations, I noticed a recurring pattern: communication was constant, but alignment was not.That observation led me to two questions I now spend much of my time researching and coaching around:<ol><li>How do people who serve with everything they have—who experience moral injury in the process—avoid self-destruction and return with a higher sense of purpose?</li><li>Why do talented, well-intentioned people working in good organizations still become misaligned—and how do we restore shared understanding and direction?</li></ol>Both questions ultimately pointed to the same foundation:<ol><li>Orientation: What are you responsible for?</li><li>Stewardship: What does that responsibility require of you now?</li></ol>Wayward Purpose is how I apply those ideas in my own life and how I help individuals and organizations move from disorientation toward clarity, responsibility, and disciplined leadership.And for those carrying moral injury, the path back to moral leadership is often grounded in faith, direction, and discipline.

Writing and resources exploring two questions: how people return to purpose after moral injury, and how organizations restore alignment.
