Join Us In Celebrating 42 Days of Purpose

Believe it or not, we’re almost halfway through 2014. Now is the ideal time to revisit our new-year goals, assess our progress, and reflect on the reasons why you set those goals in the first place. Understanding the purpose behind your goals and visualizing your desired outcome may be key to your development.

Kicking off July 7^th, join us in celebrating #42DaysofPurpose, tipping our hats to SAP’s 42 years of innovation, as we explore the deeper reason we come to work each day.
