    "Personal Vocation" is a teaching of the Church that was outlined during the Second Vatican Council and highlighted as an important part of Saint John Paul II's pastoral vision and Pope Francis' emphasis on personal encounter and missionary discipleship. And yet, personal vocation remains on the periphery of Catholic life. In this workshop we will unpack the rich meaning of personal vocation--a unique and dynamic call given to each human being which integrates the universal vocation to holiness and state in life -- and the multi-faceted impact personal vocation formation can have for realizing the New Evangelization.

    We all have a part to play in Building God's Kingdom of Love. This workshop is about the power of the achievement story - a narrative of activities one enjoys doing and believes he/she has done well - for unfolding the reality of personal vocation and the role we each share in God's overarching story of salvation. We will address ways to draw out a person's achievement story, the power of listening to another with empathy, and the impact such storytelling has on mentoring/ministry relationships.

    Each person is endowed with a unique and innate pattern of core motivations. These orient a person's natural strengths and personality and are the seeds of personal vocation. The impact of team members understanding their own and others' unique patterns of motivations can be profound: deeper self-awareness, deeper other awareness, deeper recognition of the dynamics of team effectiveness, and possible dysfunction.
