P3: Purpose, Passion, and Principles

 

A unique collaboration among Wharton students,
McNulty Leadership Program staff, and Professor G. Richard Shell

P3 is a set of five small-group conversations that provide a deep dive into the topics of happiness and success. You will explore your definitions of personal satisfaction and achievement, delve into how your past has shaped these aspirations, and examine opportunities to link day-to-day decision-making and behaviors with your identification of what is authentically fulfilling.

As a takeaway from the P3 program, you will capture a set of 3-5 principles to carry with you during the remainder of your Wharton experience and beyond. If one of your MBA intentions was to take stock of where you’ve been and illuminate for yourself an intentional path forward, P3 can hold that space and connect you with a community for accountability and reflection!

Students address the following types of questions:

How will I lead a meaningful life?

How can I be more purposeful in my leadership?

What do I really want to do with my life?

How have my successes, failures, family, and friends shaped who I am today and my decisions?

What does it take for me to be the person I want to be?

What the difference between happiness and fulfillment for me?
