the keynote
In this highly interactive session, we will help your group align their personal goals with their professional goals so they can navigate their career with confidence. We will push beyond traditional career development to help people realize the LIFE they want, not just their dream job.
As executive coaches to CEO’s and business leaders globally, we are highly experienced at getting people back in the driver’s seat of their lives, so they can accelerate their career on purpose.
The session starts with a simple question: “If you imagine your life as an alphabet, and Z is your ideal life, what letter would you be at right now?” Using this simple framework, we help your audience define their “Z” and consider which letter they are at relative to their definition of success. We will also help them evaluate any life decisions they need to make using the idea of moving forwards or backwards along that path.
Using engaging storytelling, straight talk, and personal reflection exercises, we immediately empower people to make more confident decisions and continue these life-changing conversations both at work and home.
