Product Support
Purpose:
Our Essence is: GlassFrog is the morning sun, breaking dawn with radiant clarity.
Our Blessing is to provide the spark of insight that ignites the fire of evolution.
Our Mission is to transform every organization into a sanctuary of clarity, passion, and purpose.
Our Message is: Organizational life can be so much better. Lack of clarity is the root of organizational pain, and you can’t optimize what isn’t clear to start with. Creating organizational clarity enables change, and change enables evolution; and once you’ve unleashed evolution in your company, progress isn't just possible, it's unstoppable.
Note: GlassFrog uses the purpose discovery framework and four aspects of purpose from Tim Kelley's book "True Purpose".
