Plan for Purpose
Some people call it a pivot. Others call it a reckoning. Deep down, it's something older. A dream that never quite went away.
8 weeks with a small group and two coaches, turning a vague sense that something needs to change into a plan you can actually follow.

WHERE YOU ARE NOW
What's Your Starting Point?
Most people are somewhere between two of these.
THE PIVOT YOU KEEP POSTPONING
You're good at it. You don't enjoy it. Nothing is wrong, which is exactly what makes it hard to leave. You've been circling this decision for a while, but something always talks you out of it.
THE CHAPTER YOU HAVEN'T WRITTEN YET
A first career, an encore, or a chapter everyone calls retirement. You know what you're good at and what you care about. You can't see how they fit together into work that matters and pays.
THE PAUSE YOU DIDN'T PLAN
A layoff, a caregiving year, a health season. You didn't plan for this stretch, and what you want is a bit of room to decide what comes next, instead of grabbing whatever comes next first.
There is simply nothing worse than being trapped in a career that you are good at but you simply don’t enjoy.
This program helped me identify my purpose and align that with the skills I had developed over my career, bringing my future work into sharp focus with a step-by-step action plan. — Paul L., Founder, UK

Working with this program gave me the opportunity to reconnect with who I am and what I actually want for my life.Â
We can become very focused on what we have to do for everyone around us. It commonly ends up looking like working harder and hoping it delivers the results and life we desire. But when it doesn't? That is where so many start to crumble under the pressure. I know because that was me.
This work gave me the space to prioritize myself. Not only did that give me a richer experience of life but it also enabled me to be more for others - not less. — Jonnie J., Founder & Head Coach, UK
