6 STEPS - PURPOSE+PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Step 1: Meeting/Needs assessment to identify and sync organizational and individual goals.
Step 2: Bring your A-Game - An emotion processing method designed to explore one’s emotional state to develop self-awareness - work through internal/external conflict - exercise curiosity - and work with emotional clarity. Development and constructive criticism can elicit strong emotions; therefore, it is critical to make sure emotions are processed and regulated before productive transformation can occur.
Step 3: Discover your Genius-level Talent. Genius-level Talent is a collection of intellectual gifts capable of being converted into one elite-level skill. A strong and productive collective effort always includes self-aware team members who recognize where they are strong and vulnerable individually and collectively. Helping team members acknowledge their gifts improves confidence for the individual and allows the leader to better utilize their personnel's gifts.

Step 4: Validating your Genius-level Talent - Validating one’s giftedness reduces imposture syndrome - increases confidence and self-efficacy - and inspires self-mastery. You have to believe in your ability, even if you are in the early stages of the mastery journey.
Self-validation is the process of recognizing, accepting, and affirming your thoughts, feelings, gifts, or actions—without needing external approval. Self-validation inevitably leads to self-actualization, which is the process of realizing and fulfilling your full potential—becoming the most authentic, capable, and meaningful version of yourself.
Step 5: Discover your Passion - What is the one thing you would do for the rest of your life to benefit the lives of others regardless of recognition - compensation - or reward? This powerful question helps people identify their most profound love affair, which is needed to live a life of purpose, and strengthens the fortitude to execute unconditionally.
Step 6: Application - The final step of the Purpose process is to work through how Purpose-centered Living can impact yourself - your family - your community - and the industry you serve or wish to serve.
PURPOSE+THEMES
PURPOSE+LEADERSHIP
The best leaders recognize talents in others and give them the necessary support and accountability to convert their gifts into dependable skills. Leaders who understand and live in their purpose make for strong mentors to those with the ambition to produce elite-level service.
​
PURPOSE+WELLNESS
Having a purpose in life is considered an aspect of psychological and emotional well-being and has also been studied for its connection to physical health and vitality. Living a life of purpose means engaging in meaningful work you care about that helps others and allows you to exercise your most vital skills. This lifestyle typically equates to being well as long as there is a balance between service and self-care. The more aware you are about what you love and where you are gifts reside, the more influence you'll have over creating a healthy wellness state that contributes to productivity in your career and personal life.
​​
PURPOSE+PERFORMANCE
The best performers work with purpose and work for a purpose. Purpose reveals to you your Genius-level Talent. Genius-level Talent is a collection of heightened forms of intelligence that give you access to enhanced instincts - memory - and aptitude. People who consistently perform on a high level are fueled with intrinsic passion and an intense craving to master their gift. We are all gifted and possess the ability to be exceptional in our abilities. The goal is to recognize which of our gifts are limited and which are limitless and invest in the boundless gifts that will transform us into elite-level performers and contributers.

PURPOSE+SPIRITUALITY
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE/MANAGEMENT​
We all experience moments that produce emotions on a myriad of levels. Many of us experience emotions and never take the time to explore the knowledge - wisdom - understanding - and love hidden within. Thinking through our emotions and developing the ability to manage them makes us less combative with the past and present and promotes clarity. Clarity is the foundation of a mission fulfilled.

The A-Game is an emotion-processing method that promotes emotional regulation and requires us to Acknowledge, Accept, and Appreciate our moments and emotions to experience internal holistic fluidity.

Purpose+DEI - click here to learn more
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, as they relate to professional development, are often met with anxiety and resistance because they sometimes have a way of protecting one group while shaming and blaming another. My approach to DEI is inclusive in that we are all a part of the problem and can all contribute to the solution. We become the solution by setting the collective space on F.I.R.E. with Forgiveness, Intentionality, Radical Curiosity, and Empathy. These concepts are not revolutionary or innovative; they are everyday concepts that caring and considerate people use to make productive collaboration possible.

DEI programming can be highly effective. It can address serious topics in a casual and fun environment that encourages dialogue and transformation. People learn better when having fun...so let's have some fun exploring DEI.
