A Post-Crisis Reconstruction Protocol
created by Dr Margaretha Montagu
The Purpose Pivot Protocol: Designing a Purpose-Driven Second Act is unlike any “find your purpose” program you’ve encountered.
This isn’t about personality tests, career assessments, or vague platitudes about “following your passion.” (If one more person tells you to “just do what you love,” you have my permission to roll your eyes out loud.)
Instead, this is a thoughtfully structured journey that guides you through the actual process of purpose discovery and implementation—the same process I’ve refined through years of leading walking retreats on the Camino and mentoring individuals through major life transitions.
This Protocol consists of seven carefully crafted modules:
- Welcome: Preparing for the Journey — Establish the foundation for transformation by acknowledging your current state of transition and setting intentions for the journey ahead.
- Part 1: The Departure — Process endings properly, honour past chapters, and develop comfort with the uncertainty inherent in transitions.
- Part 2: The Arrows — Discover your authentic inner compass that guides when external markers no longer serve, distinguishing between societal expectations and genuine calling.
- Part 3: Fellow Pilgrims — Reimagine community and connection as your relationships evolve, creating a support network aligned with your emerging purpose.
- Part 4: The Desert — Confront both internal and external resistance to change, developing the resilience needed to persist when the path becomes challenging.
- Part 5: Arriving at Your Destination — Translate insights into concrete action through a personalised purpose blueprint that balances aspiration with practicality.
- Conclusion: The Adventure Continues — Integrate purpose into daily life and recognise how your purposeful living creates ripple effects far beyond what you can imagine.
Each section weaves together thought-provoking concepts, real-life stories of transformation, reflective journaling prompts, and practical exercises designed to move you from insight to action.
But Will It Work For Me?
I can almost hear you thinking: “Sounds lovely, but my situation is different.”
Perhaps you’re:
- Facing an unexpected early retirement or career disruption
- Dealing with health challenges that have forced a reevaluation of priorities
- Navigating life after divorce or significant relationship changes
- Wondering what’s next now that your children are independent
- Considering relocation or major lifestyle changes
- Simply feeling that despite external success, something essential is missing
The beauty of The Purpose Pivot is that it meets you exactly where you are. The framework adapts to your unique circumstances while providing the structure needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.
As Thomas, a 78-year-old former executive who reinvented himself multiple times, shared after completing the program:
“What I’ve learned is that purpose isn’t something you figure out once and then implement according to plan. It’s a living relationship between your deepest values and the world’s evolving needs, between your unique gifts and the specific opportunities before you. That relationship naturally changes shape over time while maintaining its essential character.”
Or as Maria, 58, who found herself adrift after corporate downsizing, discovered:
“Preparing for my Camino journey paralleled preparing for my life’s second act. I realized I wasn’t just leaving something behind—I was walking toward something new, something that had been waiting for me all along.”
The Difference Between Drifting and Designing
Here’s what I know for certain: Your second act will happen either way.
The only question is whether you’ll drift into it, letting circumstance and inertia determine your path…
Or design it intentionally, creating a chapter defined by purpose, meaning, and authentic contribution.
The Purpose Pivot gives you everything you need to choose the latter:
- A clear, proven framework that guides you step by step
- Powerful stories that illuminate possibilities and normalise challenges
- Reflective exercises that generate genuine insight rather than superficial answers
- Practical tools for translating purpose from concept to daily reality
- A perspective that honours your unique journey while connecting you to timeless wisdom
Your Invitation
I’ll be honest—this program isn’t for everyone.
It’s not for those seeking quick fixes or magical transformations without the work of reflection and intentional choice.
It’s not for those who prefer comfortable illusions over sometimes uncomfortable truths.
And it’s definitely not for those who’ve decided their best days are behind them.
But if you’re ready to:
- Transform uncertainty into purposeful direction
- Reclaim the authorship of your life story
- Create meaning that transcends circumstance
- Design a second act even more fulfilling than the first
- Leave a legacy that continues long after you’re gone
...then I invite you to join me on this journey.
The path begins exactly where you are right now. All that’s required is the courage to take the first step.

Remember, this isn’t just about finding purpose—it’s about designing the most meaningful chapter of your life. The chapter where everything that came before finds its fullest expression. The chapter where you finally get to write the story you were meant to live all along.
The next chapter is waiting. Will you turn the page?
Warm regards,
Margaretha
P.S. Still hesitating? Consider this: A year from now, you’ll wish you had started today. The time will pass, either way. The only question is whether you’ll be further along the path to purpose or still standing at the crossroads wondering which way to turn. The choice, as always, is yours.
