Free masterclass · Session one of four

Purpose, Values and Goals

Holding ambition and life together. Before the SMART goals and performance targets, we start with the foundation: what a meaningful life actually looks like for you, and the values underneath it. You'll leave with The Meaning Stack, a model for building goals that belong to you, not to a job description.

  • A clear picture of what a meaningful life looks like for you, the whole life, not just the career
  • A values audit: the values actually driving your decisions right now, named and on paper
  • A first draft of a values-aligned goal you can act on this week

Right now you might be feeling:

  • You are feeling ready for what is next, but not sure how to navigate the next move
  • You are the hardest working person in the room, but still not getting seen
  • You don't have the support, guidance to help you navigate your career move
  • Working flexibly feels like it is costing your career, but you want to protect what is important to you and hold the senior career
  • Taking on more work to prove your value, but not taking on the right work
  • You are in rooms and you feel like you don't belong
