my own journey with LifePlan
Impact Optimizer, Compassionate Advocate, Discerning Guide
Even though I was experiencing incredible career opportunities and felt grateful for the work I got to do, I walked for years around with a growing, pervasive sense of unfulfillment. My talents and experiences were growing and being sharpened, but my heart kept tugging at me, aching to be tapped into in the same way.
Although I’d grown up in a loving, Christ-centered home and have always been an introspective, driven, Type-A personality, I couldn’t help but feel like I was missing a confident answer to an important question I couldn’t shake: “What is it I’m supposed to do? What is the unique calling that God has for my life?” At that point, I knew enough about myself to have a few similar-but-different ideas for the work I was interested in, but each required such a different path forward that I felt like I was stuck at a crossroads—trying to discern what to say “yes” and “no” to.
After having seen its impact in my husband’s journey, I finally decided to engage with the LifePlan® Process for myself, hopeful and nervously eager to gain clarity and insight. At the end of my 2-day experience, the answer we uncovered to my burning question was shockingly clear: “I exist to guide leaders in their purpose so they impact the world and finish well by listening with integrity and creating space for restoration.” That discovery launched me into becoming a certified LifePlan Guide where I now have the honor of journeying with others who find themselves asking similar questions.
Now it’s your turn.
