Fierce First Step’s mission is to establish and develop a person’s sense of purpose, voice and passion.

1. Purpose—purpose brings meaning to our lives. It creates a feeling that we are doing something to better our families, community or the world. Without purpose, people can feel lost, aimless or frustrated. How can I contribute to my family, my work, my community, the world?
   
   
2. Voice—voice is how we claim our power. When we lack the ability to voice our truths, we can feel unheard, misunderstood and unimportant. This can cause a feeling of being powerless and may lead to anger or depression. Power lies in voicing what is true inside of us in non-judgmental ways. Self-worth develops as we validate and express our thoughts, opinions and emotions to others. How can I voice myself more effectively?
   
   
3. Passion—passion is fire. It’s a burning desire to create something whether it’s a relationship, business or something greater than ourselves. Passion often has a vision associated with it, such as a hope for a better tomorrow in whatever endeavor we choose to pursue. Passionless people may feel burdened or lost in the day-to-day routine of life. What do I have a passion for?

Fierce First Step is committed to empowering people to own these qualities in ways that cultivate responsible behavior that does not harm, use or abuse other people or our environment.
