My journey has morphed many times along the way but basically boils down to one passionate belief and a few key questions towards purpose:

PASSIONATE BELIEF: 💯 People should feel fulfilled

❓So what’s fulfillment? 🤷🏻‍♂️

In true me fashion, I answered with a formula.

FULFILLMENT = Value Created > Willpower Expended. So a positive ROI on the exchange. Cool, right? Well, this led to another question.

❓What’s the opposite of Fulfillment? What’s it’s biggest blocker? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Turns out it’s ANXIETY (ie the creation of nothing for intense willpower expenditure). So yeah, let’s get rid of that. But…

❓What is Anxiety? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well there’s two basic types: clinical/chronic and occasional/situational. The first may need medical intervention. The second is a human condition we all experience. Both suck. So I couldn’t personally do much for the former, but looking at the latter I found a useful framework: Yerkes-Dodson (Y-D) Curve. So…

❓How do you get out of/reduce occasional/situational Anxiety? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I found the answer is the 3️⃣ Cs: Clarity, Consistency & Communication. Do these and you move people off the ledge of the Y-D Curve and back towards good stress (aka eustress).

So that’s what I do. I’m a Coach, Consultant & Course Creator (man I really love the letter C). I have a passion for all things “people” and am drawn to Management, Organizational Design and Parenting as the three areas I’ve most seen Anxiety rear its ugly head and start ripples of “not cool”.
