            <p>Many of us spend the early years of our careers chasing goals that were handed down to us by our culture, our institutions, or our families. We climb ladders and achieve impressive milestones, only to eventually pause and wonder if our ambition is truly our own, or simply borrowed from the world around us. Through the rich historical lens of Francis of Assisi—specifically exploring his early, culturally absorbed desire to be a knight as detailed in Mark Galli's <em>Francis of Assisi and His World</em>—we will gently unpack the profound difference between an intrinsic vocational calling and externally imposed expectations. For BUS 555 (MBA) and MSCI 700 (DMSc) students, as well as professional Christians seeking deeper meaning in their work, understanding this distinction is a beautiful and necessary step toward building a resilient, ethically grounded professional life.</p>

<p>The pivot from absorbed ambition to an intentional, deeply felt vocation rarely happens comfortably; it is almost always catalyzed by an unchosen disruption. Whether it is an unexpected illness, a sudden organizational shift, or a profound moment of perceived failure, these interruptions act as powerful invitations to ask critical questions about our ultimate loyalties. By analyzing Francis's transformative Spoleto dream and applying a structured three-stage framework, we will map the timeline of how ambition is gracefully redirected. Together, we will deeply reflect on your own professional biography, evaluate whom you are truly serving, and help you formulate a personal leadership manifesto that aligns your daily practices with your most authentic values.</p>
