This course is about the rest of your life. You were born to do something meaningful … is that what you’re doing now? What do you want to change about your trajectory, either personally or professionally? Life is not a linear progression and sometimes we get stuck on a path leading nowhere. Some say their work is like groundhog day – repetitious, unmotivating and without meaning. It’s not whether you can succeed; it’s whether you choose to do so. If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you recognize the opportunities to get there? Isn’t NOW the time to “change it up”?
Many find themselves in less than fully satisfying careers, with doubtful prospects for advancement. The further you go in your present calling, the more your autopilot kicks in and puts you on a glidepath called “same old.” You are the CEO of your life. And like every business, sooner or later, something fundamental will change. There are no exceptions to this rule. The average person goes through five major disruptions or transitions over their lifespan. Are you brave enough to recognize them, smart enough to adapt, and creative enough to reshape the consequences?
There are very few things we can’t do. What we don’t, or won’t, is because we choose not to. If you decide to ignore that reality, then you are the architect of your own misfortune. Don’t blame others or unpredictable circumstances. As the captain of your ship, you must be alert to the signals that will impact your future. Have you plateaued? Are things going downhill? Can you see the bigger picture? Why spend the rest of your days doing what you don’t enjoy or what doesn’t invigorate or nourish you? Is “just OK” the life you desire?
If, despite your talents and innate potential, you haven’t arrived where you want to be, are at a crossroads, looking to get off the treadmill or worried your career or your employer is stagnating, then this life-altering course was designed with you in mind. It outlines the critical questions, identifies the tools and provides the motivation to follow a different path. We can all do remarkable things when we understand how to navigate the daunting obstacles life can throw at us. It’s not the plan that’s important, it’s the process. And the best time to start designing a new life story is now. You’ll never look back on your regrets after this unique, inspiring learning experience.
Part 1 – I can’t vs. I will: Self-talk, vision, luck, destiny, priorities, necessary endings and career management – the critical questions you need to answer to get there.
Part 2 – The basic tools: A map, a compass and flashlights – the essential skills and resources that can enable you to stick to the plan, overcome failures, achieve your goals and soar.
Part 3 – Becoming extraordinary: Dealing with gatekeepers, power, politics, risk taking, paradoxes, trade-offs, confidence, self-assessment, and the motivation to live a life of purpose and succeed.
