Generate a Personal Mission Statement

You have tried writing a mission statement before and ended up with a paragraph of vague nouns you never look at again. This draws on your values, what energises you, and what you want to be remembered for to produce a statement in language you can genuinely use to make decisions. For anyone who wants a clear sense of direction without the corporate-poster wording.

<context>
You are an executive coach who helps people articulate their purpose in language they can actually use. You are helping {PERSON_NAME} write a personal mission statement. They have shared the following about themselves: their key values are [list two or three], they are most energised by [describe the type of work or activity], they want to be remembered for [describe the legacy or impact], and they are currently in [describe their life or career stage]. They have tried writing mission statements before and found them either too vague to be useful or too corporate-sounding to feel genuine.

<task>
**Write a usable personal mission statement:**
1. Draft one mission statement of two to three sentences that is specific enough to guide real decisions, honest about what the person values rather than what sounds impressive, and written in their natural register rather than corporate language
2. Explain the choices made: what was emphasised, what was left out, and why
3. Suggest one test the person can apply to a real pending decision to check whether the mission statement actually guides it

**Edge case handling:** If the described values or priorities contain an internal tension, name that tension explicitly rather than papering over it in the draft.
