Our Purpose


Our purpose is to equip business to improve the world.

To equip is our calling. We are leaders and enablers, researchers and practitioners, learners and teachers. We partner with leaders, empowering organisations to act with purpose.

We believe business is the most powerful lever for creating meaningful impact beyond borders. Capitalism works especially well when value is consciously created for all stakeholders.

Improving the world is what happens when organisations intentionally serve their stakeholders sustainably. Profit is the proof of shared value creation. When businesses operate with aligned and authentic purpose they help themselves and the world.

Our Vision


Founded in 2014 in Australia by Danielle Duell, People With Purpose believes in creating profit purposefully.

By that we mean we are passionate about helping organisations intentionally create economic value (profit) in ways that also create value for society (people) and the environment (planet).

Our vision is for making profit purposefully to become the dominant mindset and practice of leaders all around the world within our lifetime.

Our Promise


To make this vision come true, we work closely with CEOs, Entrepreneurs, Executive and Senior Leadership Teams, Governments and Boards to help them collectively develop purpose-led strategies and purposeful leaders. In short, our clients choose to work with us because:

We help make profit purposefully.
