Mission Statement A mission statement defines our purpose. It’s what we ultimately want to achieve in our lives or careers, and expressed in a very specific, measurable way. It helps us identify our core values.
Vision Statement In contrast, a vision statement is a bit more emotional because it defines our core values and how we apply these values to our mission. It also tends to provide the general directions that guide the course of our lives, even the choices we would have to make about our future careers.
