Five Surprising Ways Your Allies Support You At Work
So often, we are our most challenging dragon. We question ourselves: are we good enough? Smart enough? Equipped for the task in front of us? We work with so many men and women who face these questions every day.
What's Your Calling?
We continue to redefine as the world continues to evolve. Return to the office or stay at home? Plan that business trip or vacation, or wait and see? More importantly, am I doing the work – living the life – that I’m meant to?
Discover Your Path to Purpose
Each of us is on our own journey, whether we’re consciously navigating our route, or following the well-worn path in front of us. That’s part of the beauty of the hero’s journey: while it’s uniquely ours, it’s also universal.

In this final stage, the hero returns having a NEW TRUTH and the POWER to help others with it. It’s not about speaking truth to power; it’s not about having power over…it’s about power from within, and the courage to claim that power.
A Call to Awaken
Calls to Awaken can come in many forms, some obvious and life-altering, some more subtle, and some evolve over time: a gentle nudge or sense of intuition that tells us that something needs to change or shift. These calls can originate from our environment, from our interactions with others, or when we take time to reflect, and look within. Each is compelling.

Because – for all its faults, trauma, and drama, 2020 had some gifts.
