My birthday came and went this year. I was in a new city, far away from anyone who knew it was the day I was born. Even Jim was out of town.

While it didn’t look like any birthday I’d had before, it was special in its own way. I woke up and went through my morning routine. After walking downstairs, I thought, “It’s my birthday!” and so I sat on my mustard-yellow couch and counted my blessings one by one. And, as I thought about all that I have to celebrate in my life, I was filled with incredible gratitude.

After about ten minutes of sitting and going through my list, I felt it again – the feeling that comes with the clarity of understanding who you are, what matters most, and why you were put on this earth.

I know that I am here to transform the lives of leaders by helping them to answer the same questions about their personal and professional lives. You see, when you have answers to those questions, you know you experience joy and peace like you’ve never known before.
