What Our Participents Are Saying

Participating in the Purposeful Group’s Start Up program was an incredibly valuable experience while I was beginning a new position as the Manager of SABRI Innovation.

Lisa Lowthers created a supportive and engaging environment that made it easy to explore ideas, ask questions, and grow with confidence. Her guidance was practical, encouraging, and always grounded in real-world application, which made a big difference for me settling into my new role of elevating other organizations and new business.

The program helped me clarify my direction and take meaningful steps forward. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to build or refine their business journey.
