I love my job. I really do. People call me on the phone to figure out what they really want to be when they grow up. How cool is that?
I sometimes feel like I need someone to pinch me: do I really get to do this work? (Yes, Virginia, there apparently is a Santa Claus, and it's called Living Your Purpose.)
One of the best things about the work I get to do is connecting with people, from all walks of
life, with their own unique set of dreams and goals, but who somehow sense there is
something more for them out there.
Whether it's in a training I'm conducting, during a sample coaching session, or out in my personal life, hearing how
people are living their own purpose, regardless of the words, and however it's expressed (from how they raise their kids to creating new and innovative programs) inspires me to continue on my own purposeful path. It's a cool dynamic loop for me.
So, I guess that it's not only that I love my job, but also that I am awed, inspired, and yes, love, the people I meet and sometimes work with.
For me, it couldn't get much better than that.

What do you love about what you do?
How is what you do related to your sense of purpose?

Before specializing as a professional coach in 2004, I spent more than a decade in leadership, management and program development for state and local government and non-profit organizations. Now I get to help leaders and teams have more clarity and ability to stand up for what's important in their work and in their organizations. Working with me, leaders and teams find more meaning and purpose, feel happier and more confident, navigate change and conflict, and work together better.
