Episode 109: Purpose Blockers, the Importance of Coaches, and the Problem with Passion with "Purpose Whisperer" Jade Simmons

Visibly Fit with Wendie Pett

Jade Simmons had carved out a decent career as a classical pianist, playing the great works by Beethoven, Shostakovich and the like. But it wasn't until she began to envision what was possible beyond performing this great music that she discovered why people attend concerts in the first place (hint: it's not to listen to music that can be heard on an iPhone) and launched her career into unfathomable heights.

How? By simply discovering her purpose, that knowledge of why we're here on this earth.

Today Jade incorporates her virtuosic piano skills into her presentations encouraging professionals, stay at home moms, and everyone else who will listen to dig deep beyond the noise of this life and embrace why you are here.
