What This Is
Not a course
(god, not another course)
A living lab.
Soul at Work is a live coaching immersion for a highly curated, small group of trusted entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders — built around one central skill.
The ability to harness whatever you're facing — professionally, personally — as the means and moment to find and grow into your authentic self.
Most of us, most of the time are either at work, preparing for work, getting to work, returning from work, recovering from work or trying not to think about... work. Much as we might want it otherwise, work dominates our existence. If we are to find authentic lives and develop into the people we most want to become, we will probably do it, in no small part, at work. The challenges we face there — the stuck places, the frustrations, the hard decisions, the moments of doubt, the gaps in our skills and abilities — are not obstacles to our development. They are the material of it.
Soul at Work is the intersection of our truest needs and aspirations and our To Do list and KPIs: an ongoing, supported practice of bringing exploration, clarity, truth, openness, and creativity to the most reliable source of challenge you have - your job.
This is not a course with pre-packaged content, but there is a specific terrain we will explore together. It is a real-time investigation that follows the needs, energy and direction of the individual participants and the group. This is a living, dynamic immersion with people I’ve worked with, love, trust, and wish to adventure with.
The Journey
Six territories to explore,
not a fixed path.
Soul at Work moves through six interconnected phases of development. Think of these as terrain we'll be exploring, visiting and revisiting as circumstances evolve and change.
Individuals will be at different places at different times. That's the design.
The Longing
Something's missing, something's wanted — you can feel it before you can name it. This phase is about honoring that signal rather than explaining it away. What's the pull? What's it asking for? What's underneath? The longing is not a problem. It is the first honest thing.
The Reckoning
What do I actually value — beneath the values I've inherited, performed, or settled for? What am I genuinely good at, and what am I merely good enough at to get trapped in? In the reckoning we name both the gifts and the snares. This is where our guiding lights live.
The Selection
We all seem to feel that we absolutely must do, more than we can do. An absurdity when we try to beat it, but a strong teacher when we accept it. This phase is about choosing deliberately, maybe even joyfully, the battles we will fight. And releasing the rest. Not as failure. As freedom.
The Softening
Here is the paradox: if we wish for our lives to truly change, we must first love and accept ourselves exactly as we are. The softening is the humbling — making peace with our limits, our irrationalities, the things we need that we wish we didn't. This is not defeat. It is where transformation becomes possible.
The Practice
This is where we play, where we find the balance of living at our developmental edges and having a human life. Constructing small, honest, often playful experiments. Tracking what actually happens. Surrendering how it's supposed to go for what actually works. Discovering who you're becoming — not through a plan written by your inner critic, but through surprise and delight.
The Ground
In the end, there's integration - but of course there is no real end. Rather a new place to stand. A practice you trust, that is yours alone. A way of meeting difficulty that you recognize as your own. You know how to return to yourself when you lose your footing. That is the ground.
How It Works
Our rhythm is built for
depth and integration.
Sessions alternate adaptively between two modes, creating an observe → metabolize → experiment loop:
Exploration Sessions
Founded primarily in interior work - investigating through exercises and activities who we are and what is true for us. What shapes satisfaction and challenge take. This is the inner work we'll organize action around.
Practice Sessions
Founded primarily in exterior work - sniffing out how the world around us wishes to be met. Here we formulate the experiments and the play that will advance our work and bring out our aspirations.
Between Sessions
The actual work happens between sessions. We'll bring our lives into the container, but in between we'll be journaling, experimenting, tracking the challenges we're navigating. There is no platform, no group chat, no slack channel, my god. We will emphasize simplicity.
Special Guest: Vaughan Wilkins, PhD
Vaughan Wilkins is a brilliant facilitator and co-creator of Story Weavers — a body of work using narrative to help people understand and transform their lives. Once in the program, Vaughan will lead a session exploring the stories we inhabit. What kind of story are you in? Are you at the beginning of a chapter, the end, the murky middle? What do myth and cultural narrative reveal about what's possible?
Honestly, there's no telling exactly what he'll have us do — but it will crackle!
For Whom
Succeeding in important ways.
Feeling something essential is missing.
Soul at Work is designed for professionals and business owners who have enough solid ground to do genuine interior work — and who feel the pull of a more meaningful life.
You might be ready for something new but unsure of what. You might be scattered and unable to implement your values despite knowing what they are. You might be in golden handcuffs — well-compensated, respected, quietly unfulfilled - killing it, but hating it.
You might feel the pull of purpose without yet having given it a name.
Common to all: you feel you have what you need internally. You know the gap is between what you're actually living and what you're capable of. You've experienced the power of genuine clarity before, and you know that's what you need now.
