Lisle, Illinois ~ Have you ever felt like you had to set aside a personal interest or hobby so that you could simply make a living and manage the demands of everyday life?

Maybe you’ve been fortunate enough to have a career and start a family, but still felt you weren’t applying your talents and following your dreams to their fullest potential.

Now is the time to discover how you can pursue your life’s true passion at the Women’s Institute for Global Leadership workshop, “Penning Your Purpose,” from 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 12 at Benedictine University’s Moser Center, 1832 Centre Point Circle, Suite 102, in Naperville.

The event is open to the public. The cost of the event is $25. To reserve a space, register at www.ben.edu/womensinstituteworkshop.

Participants will get to share their life experiences and construct a powerful vision for their future through discussions, exercises and journal writing led by Talayah G. Stovall. Stovall, president of TGrace, is a certified life purpose coach, author, speaker and managing director of Vision Catalyst Consulting where she empowers others to increase their overall life satisfaction by clarifying and articulating their personal and professional goals.

Stovall is the creator of the “Five Weeks to Personal Breakthrough” group coaching program, and author of “Crossing the Threshold: Opening Your Door to Successful Relationships.” She is also an instructor at Columbia College Chicago, where she teaches public speaking.
