Hi, friend.
I’m Cheyanne Skeldon

And I’m here to help you find the clarity and direction you’re searching for.

I want to help you:

Gain clarity in your purpose.

Grow confident in your calling.

Go make your impact on the world.

introducing The paterson LifePlan® Process

Live Your Life, On-Purpose

The LifePlan® Process is a facilitated journey, designed to help you discover your unique purpose. Along the way, you’ll gain clarity and direction where you need it most – breakthroughs in the areas you feel stuck and insight into the right next steps forward.

As a certified Paterson LifePlan® Guide, I facilitate the Process through an intentional one-on-one conversation over the course of two full days, leveraging a series of decades-proven tools and exercises. Once we reach a place of accurate perspective on your life, we then craft a strategic roadmap that focuses your time, energy, and attention in the right direction for all of the major life domains: personal, vocation, family, and community.

You’re Asking Good Questions

Every one of us, at one time or another, asks deep, foundational questions about our identity, vocation, and purpose.

Many of us try to answer those questions with personality assessments, skills inventories, and conversations with close friends and mentors. Those can be helpful starting points, but the biggest questions of life deserve an intentional, integrated process led by a skilled Guide.

How to know if a LifePlan is right for you:

  • You're in a transition season

    “I know something needs to change, but I don’t have the clarity I need to move forward with confidence.”
    –
    “I want to do something I’m passionate about, but I have a lot of opportunities – how do I know which one is the best fit?”

  • You're wrestling with life's big questions

    “How do all of these different puzzle pieces of me – my talents, passions, gifts, wiring – fit together? And what does that mean for my life?”
    –
    “What is my life purpose? What is the unique calling that God has for my life?”

  • You value personal growth & development

    “Sure my job pays the bills, but I can't shake the feeling that something’s missing...”
    –
    “I want to live an intentional life. How can I better optimize my skills, talents, and life so that it's more fulfilling and impactful?”

  • You're ready to take things to the next level

    “I need help filtering and focusing my opportunities – what are the things I’m supposed to say “yes” to and “no” to?”
    –
    “Where should I focus my best energy so that I can maximize my impact without burning out?”

On the other side of a LifePlan, you’ll…

  • Know Your Next Steps // Walk away with immense clarity on what both your high-level, strategic roadmap is as well as what your next-90-day steps are to get you immediately moving in the right direction.

  • Own Your Life Purpose  //  Fully understand and own your unique purpose and calling in life, as well as the “whats,” “whys,” and “hows” surrounding it.

  • Uncover Your Compass  //  Identify what your “north star” and filters are so that there’s more alignment and less competition for your time and energy.

  • Optimize Your Talents  //  Level-up in your understanding of what you bring to the table that’s unique to you and how to utilize them more effectively.

  • Steward Your Energy  //  Hone in on what energizes and propels you forward, while mitigating against the things that derail you.

  • Make Your Impact  //  Live the life you were made to. The world and people around you desperately need you to fully live out your God-given purpose – and to do it in a way that leads to life, not to burnout.

Just a few of the things you’ll walk away with:

  • Clear Insight into Your Core Talents

    Together, we’ll uncover your top 3-4 talents, gain a clear understanding on how each of them show up, and craft a plan that will help you intentionally hone, grow, and develop them over time.

  • An Understanding of Your Unique Work Wiring

    You’ll have clear insight into and language around how your mind naturally functions, where your sweet spot is, and how much alignment (or risk) there is in your current job related to it.

  • A Personalized Replenishment Cycle

    You’ll have a clear system filled with specific activities to integrate into your daily, weekly, monthly, and annual routines that restore your energy and help you operate from a place of overflow instead of deficit.

  • A Time Budget that Keeps Your Values at the Center

    You’ll have a (reusable) time assessment that shows where your time is going and equips you with a plan so that your most valuable resource goes where it’s most needed in each season.

  • Strategic Next Steps in the Right Direction

    You’ll own a strategic roadmap of where you are, where you’re headed, your north star along the "route," and a list of 90-days actionables to get you immediately moving in the right direction.

  • An Editable and Shareable Digital Playbook

    You’ll own all of the detailed insights from your 2-day LifePlan in an editable, digital format so that it continues to serve you when navigating the inevitable, unforeseeable twists and turns of life.

Success Stories

  • “I entered the LifePlan Process unsure of what to expect and emerged with tremendous clarity about my joys, my longings, and my story. With Cheyanne’s expert guidance, I was able to see the fingerprints of God throughout my past, develop a plan for my present, and foster joyful hope for my future.”

    – TYLER B.

  • “I highly recommend that everyone invest in a LifePlan at some point in their life. I came to Cheyanne feeling really stuck and discouraged on what I was called to do, and when I completed my two-day experience with her, I felt so validated and had so much clarity on what my unique calling is. This process has set me up for the next 10 years and I’ve never been more grateful.”

    – NINA B.

I came in with so many questions and came out with so much clarity and vision. I highly recommend doing a LifePlan if you are making a lot of big decisions!"

    – JULIA S.

  • "I was so blessed to do a LifePlan at my age – it felt like a critical time to do it and took me way beyond what I expected. My biggest takeaway was uncovering my life purpose statement because it really defined who I am, and what I am called to do. In my time with Cheyanne, I also learned what exactly my heart burns to do, and how to keep my energy replenished so that I won't burn out and can live a new life to the fullest body, soul, and spirit. I'd definitely recommend LifePlan to anyone and everyone!"

    – DANIEL M.

    – LUKE L.

  • “Going through my LifePlan was so helpful in processing my life where it has been so far and how that can help guide my future decisions. There were a lot of questions that I had going in about the future and through the two days Cheyanne spent the time to understand what makes me “me” and to personalize my plan to fit that!”

    – KEONA C.

  • “Have you reached a point where you feel like you’ve accomplished everything you set out to and now are asking, "What's Next?" That was me and LifePlan was a wonderful launch pad into my next season of life! Afterwards, I felt empowered and ready to execute, but also felt like I better understood who God made me to be. Cheyanne’s calming spirit and hospitality make you feel comfortable and willing to share your story; the good, the bad and the ugly. She truly has a gift in how she leads this Process. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for clarity in their God-given purpose.”

    – DENNISHA D.

  • “I had a great LifePlan experience with Cheyanne. She was thoughtful, caring and really helped me dig deep. She made me feel super comfortable and helped draw things out when I got stuck during an exercise. Cheyanne was a great listener and had the ability to identify key insights amidst everything shared. I walked away with great perspective and actionables and am super grateful for my time with this process.”

    – ANDREA W.

I wish I could have all the people I love do a LifePlan with Cheyanne because of what a game-changer it was for me in my personal life, family, career, and community!"

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If you’re married, yes absolutely. My husband sat in on mine and I on his, and it was powerful to have each other in the room. If you’re single, you can bring a close friend, but be selective on who you invite into your 2-day experience. We can chat through this together if you have questions on who to bring.

  • The LifePlan experience is an investment of time, effort, and resources, and is crafted to pay dividends throughout the rest of your life. I offer an individual LifePlan for $4,000, which be paid up-front or over time through a payment plan. Travel, lodging, and some meals are not accounted for in this investment.

    For couples who are interested in doing a LifePlan together, my approach is to have each spouse do their individual LifePlan (ideally with the other spouse in the room and conversation) and then spend an additional day together to bring together the full couples LifePlan. Normally valued at $10,000, I'm pleased to offer this option for couples at a 20% discounted rate of $8,000.

    ***For those who are in full-time ministry – or are the spouse of someone in full-time ministry – I offer an automatic $500 discount on individual LifePlans and an additional $1,000 discount on a couples LifePlan.

  • Yes! I recognize that this is a significant investment and am happy to partner with you to help make it work for your budget and timeline.

  • Because of the personal and interactive nature of the LifePlan Process, I prefer to facilitate my clients’ LifePlans in-person. This allows me to offer you a top-tier experience during your 2-day investment, and also gives you the opportunity to truly “step away” from the demands of normal life and be fully present to the Process.

    However, for clients who are unable to meet face-to-face in Nashville, I do offer virtual LifePlans, so long as the space you’re in is conducive to the Process. If you have constraints and are interested in doing a virtual LifePlan, please let me know in your contact form.

  • I live in Nashville, Tennessee and host LifePlan sessions here! If you’re coming in from out of town, I highly recommend extending your stay and enjoying everything our beautiful city has to offer. In fact, I’d be happy to share our list of personal favorite local spots to help make the most of your trip!

  • After a LifePlan session, you’ll leave with a comprehensive, robust decision-making framework that allows you to maximize your time, energy, and investment. Including a succinct and clear purpose statement, insight into and language around your specific work wiring, a repeatable exercise for evaluating the level of “fit” for different vocation opportunities, a roadmap of where you’re heading with immediate next steps to get you moving in the right direction, and a whole lot more.

    Additionally, you’ll receive everything that we accomplish during our two days in a digital playbook that is editable and shareable so that you can update it when you hit key milestones and can share it with your close people.

  • The unique approach of the Paterson LifePlan® Process is the attention we devote to getting perspective. All too often, the temptation is to move straight to planning.

    In the Paterson Process, which has been around for 40+ years, we spend about 70% of our time getting clear perspective across every area of your life – your backstory, your current reality, your talents, your heart, and your thinking; and across every domain of your life – personal, family, vocation, and community. Only when you have clear perspective do we move to planning.

    And I don’t just guide others; all of us Paterson LifePlan® Guides have gone through the Process ourselves and are living out our own LifePlan; I’m committed to only guiding others on a journey that I myself am on, too.

It’s time to get clear and live your life on-purpose.

Join the thousands of others who’ve journeyed through the LifePlan® Process and have discovered, owned, and begun living out their unique calling in life.
