Every journey begins with a quiet whisper!
Purpose Rising is a coaching and leadership development practice based in the Utica, NY area, serving clients locally and online throughout New York and New England. Founded by Paul Moda, a Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths Coach, Purpose Rising offers strengths-based, heart-centered support for individuals and groups navigating growth, change, and life transitions.
This work helps people gain clarity about their natural strengths, values, and direction—especially during moments when something feels ready to shift but the next step isn’t fully clear. Services include one-on-one CliftonStrengths coaching, purpose and career exploration, leadership development, and support during transitions related to education, work, wellbeing, and life direction.
Sessions are reflective and practical, creating space for insight while supporting grounded, sustainable action. Rather than focusing on what needs to be “fixed,” the work centers on what is already present and capable of growth—helping clients reconnect with self-trust, alignment, and a sense of possibility as they move forward. We help people answer the quiet whisper that comes from within, and rise into their next chapter with purpose and possibility
