NAVIGATING MIDLIFE AS AN ORGANIZATIONAL LEADER
SUCCESS GOT YOU HERE.
NOW WHAT?
For years, you followed the rules. You built a career, a reputation, a life many admire. But something inside you is whispering (or maybe shouting): This isn’t it. Something’s missing. Something seems lost.
That uneasy feeling? It’s not a sign of failure. It’s a sign of misalignment—the gap between the life you’ve built so far and the life that wants to emerge now.
HITTING A CROSSROADS
What if the sense of success that once fueled you no longer fits?
How can you do both – cultivate a growing honesty with your limitations & imperfections and self-acceptance at the same time to live – and lead – with deepened integrity?
What role does ambition play it this point in your life?
What do first glimpses of life’s finitude – illness, loss, missed promotions or career moves – teach you about trade-offs and priorities?
Midlife is not about walking away from success.
It's about redefining and realigning success with who we truly are."
Midlife will ask us to look in the mirror. While it tends to pose uncomfortable questions – the answers we find have the power to transform us. It’s a sacred passage – one best supported by courageous exploration, open-heartedness, and honesty.
Midlife invites us to shift from living according to external expectations to living a life based on our own truths and values.
As you are hitting your crossroads:
- Will you double down on achievement and hope fulfillment follows?
- Or will you redefine success on your own terms?
The inspiration for this offer came from our own aging, personal growth journeys, and experiences with loss and illness – as well as accompanying leaders and professionals as their coaches – often across years and different stages of their life cycles.
Over the course of six coaching sessions, we will guide you through a targeted midlife journey, invite you to look into the mirror, challenge your success scripts, reevaluate purpose and values, and take responsibility for steps and changes that mirror with integrity what you find.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR MIDLIFE CALIBRATION JOURNEY
MIDLIFE CALIBRATION SESSIONS
- Sessions are 90 to 120-minutes long, build on each other, and occur over eight to ten weeks
- Much of the work will happen between sessions. In addition to our shared session time, be committed to dedicate:
- 10-20 minutes daily to specific presence practices, journaling, and reflections that your coach will provide
- One to two hours between sessions to engage in listening to recommended reading or listening to podcast episodes
- Your continued involvement between sessions will meaningfully enrich and propel what you’re getting out of your sessions with your coach
