Institute for Purpose Driven Leadership
What is Purpose Driven Leadership ?
We live in a world where leadership trust is plummeting, and employee engagement is at all-time lows. Now, more than ever, the world needs authentic leaders, teams and brands that drive performance at scale with a culture rooted in purpose.
By partnering with Vivek, individuals, teams, and brands can develop into authentic, purpose driven leaders by learning how to tap into their inner self to understand who they really are, convert their life and origin stories into their differentiated source of power, and overcome self-limitations that limit growth.
Through the work of the Institute of Purpose Driven Leadership, Vivek and his team combines character and competency based instruction to inspires, motivate and guide attendees into a journey of self-discovery, finding personal meaning in life and work, and deploying different styles of empowerment that are unique and authentic to you. By aligning these powerful forces into a single thread, Vivek helps you to develop trustful relationships in your life and through your work that deliver breakthrough results and lasting value
If you are a high potential stepping into a people manager role for the first time, an established manager entrusted with a new leadership mandate, or a brand that desires to develop a culture of purpose without forsaking profit, this coaching is for you.

What they have to say
Reflecting on my Academy journey, I realize how the experiences and learnings here have given me a profound understanding of my strengths and weaknesses, making me more self-aware. As Vivek Bapat wisely said, "You don't find a purpose, you build it." At the Academy, we all share a common purpose, which is to celebrate the pride within the engineering community. This purpose resonates deeply with me, and I am eager to share my learnings with my home team and start a ripple effect.

Reflecting on my Academy journey, I realize how the experiences and learnings here have given me a profound understanding of my strengths and weaknesses, making me more self-aware. As Vivek Bapat wisely said, “You don’t find a purpose, you build it.” At the Academy, we all share a common purpose, which is to celebrate the pride within the engineering community. This purpose resonates deeply with me, and I am eager to share my learnings with my home team and start a ripple effect.
I had time to think about my own purposes, about what I would like to achieve in life and how I can contribute this to my work. I am still on the way to find my purposes but I was provided knowledge and guidance from the program to continue my journey so I am confident with my own thoughts and journey now.
I feel like I just officially became an adult now when I finally have all the tools that needed to guide myself through ups and downs in life.

All this, together with a safe environment to experiment and simply be myself, have been a great help to me. I might not have grown strictly as an engineer, but I sure have as a human.
I cannot recommend this program highly enough to anyone who thinks they have some personal growth left to do.

Many of the sessions really managed to make me re-think myself, think about what I truly care about and what truly matters to me, and hopefully will help me be a better version of myself going forward. Not just as engineer but also as a human being. Especially Vivek’s “Finding your Purpose” session as well as Ferose sharing his personal story touched me a lot.
