If you are at the stage of your inspired work journey where you have already done the deep inner work to get clear about the unique contribution you are here to make (i.e., your purpose, vision, and mission) and you have also birthed your work in the form of a valuable offer, the next step is to connect with the people you want to serve.

The fact is we all have bills to pay. At some point, most of us have made the choice to take on a job we don’t necessarily want for the reason of paying those bills. Sadly, we end up paying for them with our life. We sacrifice our vitality for the sake of eking out “a living”. We banish our dreams from our consciousness because it’s too painful to keep them alive. Meanwhile, we try to mollify our ...

This week I celebrate the anniversary of The New School for Inspired Work. I birthed this particular expression of my work just over 16 years ago. Back then, the idea of a “new paradigm” of work was so unheard of that when I spoke of it outside my inner circle, I mostly received looks of pity from others. They worried for my sanity. Inwardly, I worried for theirs. I could see what was coming. I’ve...

I’m sure he could see my entire body stiffen. I let the silence grow between us to indic...

We are all keenly aware of the upheaval that is rippling throughout our current world state. While a new paradigm has been gestating beneath the surface of our conscious awareness for a long while, the physical reality of what is being transformed just started to become more obvious during the pandemic. It is a catalytic time of change for us as a humanity and the ongoing metamorphosis will only c...

I’m not one for overly manicured landscaping. I tend to prefer my nature on the wilder side. It’s a good thing I’m comfortable with a little disorder because the endeavour of growing the seeds of ideas into a thriving business can be unruly. But given the right conditions, your inspired work can flourish into a splendid garden that provides an endless bounty of fruit.

Your inspired work can flour...
