Last night, we crossed over 1,000 sign ups at Manual. There are 1,000 Manuals in the wild. 1,000 people who are deciding to be bold about articulating who they are and what they need (here’s mine, for reference). That's WILD.
Along the way, I've been talking to so many of you, hearing your stories and journeys. but more importantly, hearing everyone’s biggest sources of pain. While it’s true that we’ve talked a lot about work-life balance and toxic cultures, one thing that also stands out to me is how much people truly want and crave the feeling of being engaged and excited about their work. You are working hard and not seeing returns, and in so many cases, it’s making you fall out of love with the vocation you’ve spent years building.
I've heard all of this before. It's what I coached my teams on it. It's what CEOs and leaders call me for. We spend 70% of our time at work. If you don’t love your work, it’s nearly impossible to love your life.
In the past I’ve mostly worked as a one-on-one coach for executives. Now that i’m building Manual, my obsession has become making change possible at scale. The mission is too important. Starting next Monday, Jan 29, i'm opening a private study group with 100 people to help you define and discover the best work of your life.
reserve your spot in the study group
You will never find the best work of your life in a ready-made package. It's not about the perfect company or the right title. The best work of your life lives in you, and you bring it with you wherever you go. Even at your lowest, it's there, lying dormant inside of you waiting to be found, explored and expressed.
Our study group will be four days and four nights. Private, intimate live sessions with me where I will personally coach and guide you to understand and articulate the conditions of your own success. We are going to learn to advocate for ourselves together and come out of this with a detailed definition of the Best Work of Your Life, what it means, and how to get there.
