THE PATHFINDER FOUNDATION

We help young people find their path in life.

Our tool: Primal Drivers

Primal Drivers™ are the three emotional needs at the heart of every decision you make. They shape the work you thrive in, the people you’re drawn to, and the life that feels right.

    Ginny, Teacher

    Kate, Business Owner

    Sam, Professional Sportsman

    Alex, Marketing Account Manager

    Chloe, Maths Tutor

    Will, Economist
