Crisha Bowen, 40, believes helping people find their purpose can build a safer and happier Trinidad and Tobago.
The HR professional – who has her own coaching business, Purpose Diaries – will host a one-day Purpose and Profit Conference aimed at helping people do just that.
It will be held on Labour Day (June 19) at the Trinidad Hilton and Conference Centre from 9 am-6 pm and will include two sessions where participants will be guided on purpose discovery, what is purpose, how people discover it and its phases.
The other half of the day will be spent on profitability. There will also be coaching and life makeovers from the experts.
As well as Bowen, there will be two local and two international speakers – sales trainer LinkedIn coach Jarrod Best-Mitchell and motivational speaker Luke Quamina – and two international speakers.

US entrepreneur, author and transformational speaker Marcus Y Rosier and US franchising consultant Michelda Johnson are the international experts.
Rosier is also Bowen’s coach and became her mentor at his company, Monetizewithmarcus.com, because she “showed up for herself.”
Rosier and Bowen met seven years ago through Instagram when she asked him to be a lecturer at her online school, Purpose University. He agreed and quickly became her mentor.
Rosier saw her passion and invested in that, she said.

The conference fulfils one of Bowen’s long-term goals, helping people find what they are supposed to do. Purpose, for Bowen, answers the "why" question about what people feel they should be doing with their lives.
She said in the phone interview, “I see a lot of people, who are probably trying to get into careers, sending resumes, trying to get a job or in a job, but it does not match anything they are passionate about, anything they desire or they are unemployed.”
Over the past eight years, she has worked to build her online business, which has allowed her to use her coaching and HR skills and made her happy.
The business began when she started sharing and detailing the steps she took to find what fulfilled her, similarly to the way people share their deepest thoughts in a diary.
The San Fernando resident did what she believed society wanted of her: went to school, got degrees, a good job degrees and a good job and got promoted.
She attended Holy Faith Convent, Penal, then moved to the US and got a degree in business administration from the Florida Memorial University. On returning to TT, she got a masters in small and medium enterprise management at the Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business.
For about seven years, she worked as an HR professional at the National Infrastructure Development Company's (NIDCO)’s water taxi service.
