• Do you sense it’s time to head in a new direction … or refresh the path you’re already on?
• Are you just starting out (beginning/ finishing school or entering the job market) and want to make certain you’re putting yourself on the right track?
• Did you long ago sacrifice your best life to compelling yet inconsequential dreams with little connection to what truly matters to you?
• Have you made big contributions, done important work, but aren’t sure it’s your purpose on this earth?
• Have you thought about taking a sabbatical (or looking ahead to ‘retirement’ or an encore career) and could benefit from reconnecting with long-forgotten dreams?
• Are you having difficulty choosing among the many interesting things you’d like to do?
• Do you sense something bigger is waiting for you—if only you were brave enough to go looking?

Each of us has a unique mission that no one else can fulfill. But, how do we discover it?

In the What Should I Do with My Life? workshop, we listen to radio interviews; view film clips; study the stories of persons who know they are on the right path—and how they know this; and, most important, examine our own lives through a variety of exercises:

• What’s unique about me? What differentiates me? What stirs my blood? What nourishes my soul?
• How do I confirm that I’m headed in the right direction?
• What if other people have different ideas about the direction my work and life should take?
• What if I have conflicting ideas about what to do? Or too many interests?
• What if nothing seems interesting? Or my interests seem impractical and unrealistic?

“An unlived dream will sit on your heart like a sumo wrestler,” writes lawyer-turned-author Tama Kieves.  

Yet identifying what that dream is takes much reflecting, experimenting, and listening. After years of being ignored or going unrecognized, an authentic life’s work doesn’t magically emerge full-blown at the end of a single workshop. We are required to wait expectantly and alertly as the mystery of our life unfolds according to its own timing. Yet, now we have the tools to encourage it out of hiding, to recognize it, and to live it courageously and fully.
