This section of the Discover U series is about how to develop a mission statement.
A mission statement describes your purpose and the path you plan to take. Mission statements are brief, focused, flexible, and feasible. They include how you will add value, based on your values. That’s why I like to call them value statements. Find a form to create a value statement at Your Unique Selling Proposition, and more resources at the Brand and Purpose Toolkit.
