COACHING RESOURCES
My calling is to help servant leaders build intentional careers and meaningful lives, and I believe that focused career support can help you get to where you truly want to go and are needed most. Yet for many of us, this kind of 1:1 coaching work is inaccessible or unaffordable.
This is why I’m passionate about providing free (no strings attached) resources to help you become the leader you are destined to be.
With support and guidance, you have the ability to discover and achieve your purpose. After coaching hundreds of senior executives, I know that you can design your own unique career path when you are properly informed, prepared, and committed.
You can learn more about me and my mission here or, if you’re ready, head over to Job Search, Career Planning or Work Reset to start your no-cost coaching journey. The workbooks found on these pages will help you dive deeper into the practical tasks and activities that most impact and shape your career so you can show up where the world needs you to be.
Navigating the 6 Conflicts of
Meaningful Work
Sometimes the hardest part of pursuing meaningful work is overcoming the dilemmas that keep us stuck and unable to take the next best step toward the life we are called to. Many of us find ourselves stuck in one (or more) of these 6 conflicts.
Fear of playing it small and wasting your potential mixed with fear of pushing yourself beyond your capabilities
A desire to remain humble or learn from previous mistakes that warps into self-doubt and insecurity about your skills
Trying to build a rich and captivating work life without letting your profession become your identity or alter your priorities
Finding a way to make enough money to provide reasonable comfort and security without getting trapped in a meaningless job
Deciding what it means to “be yourself” at work when that differs from the standards you see around you
Trying to define your gifts and passions, and the impact you want to have, but becoming confused and frustrated with the pursuit
My work is here to help you move through these points of frustration, so that you are better positioned to create and realize the work life you were meant to have.
The Struggle is Real
If you see yourself listed above, welcome to the club. All servant leaders wrestle with these same questions and conflicts. We’re in this together.
Get started
Depending on your life and career needs in this moment, you may choose to start with my workbooks on job searches or career planning, or give yourself a work reset.
Each workbook will guide you through the tactical and strategic work needed to launch a job search, make purposeful career goals, or continue to build a work life that fully utilizes your talents and inspires you. Through their exercises and reflection, you’ll be able to engage with and begin to overcome the six conflicts of meaningful work.
Intentional living will prompt you to build in moments in your life for short, more frequent pauses to reflect on the questions that impact your career.
Books and podcasts will share additional resources to help you take on a deeper personal transformation to align your career with your values.
