Be successful and happy

I’ve always been curious about people and their choices, particularly when it comes to careers.  As a kid, I’d ask grownups what they did and why.  The thought that anyone would work just for a paycheck baffled me.  Why spend so much time and energy doing work you’re not passionate about?

In my 20s I experienced that lack of purpose first-hand.  I was driven to succeed and advanced quickly but my growing unhappiness was taking its toll.  In a moment of unfiltered desperation, I quit my job and went searching for a path that would bring success and happiness.

That’s the mission that brings me here today.  I emerged from that hibernation with answers and a plan.  People noticed my newfound clarity and asked me for help discovering their purpose, and determining a path to get there.

Within a few years I was doing this work professionally, first at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business and then at UNC Kenan-Flagler.  I learned how to bring out the best in people so they could make a bigger impact.  By the time I was recruited as a senior executive to oversee a 400-member team, I knew how to build a culture where people were happy and performed to their potential.

Prompted by my success I founded Stevens Leadership on the principle that you don't have to sacrifice happiness for success.  Now I help leaders develop personally and professionally into the truest version of themselves, so they can lead from a place of passion.

The answers you’re seeking do not come from achievement, advancement or acquisition.  They are within you, waiting to be discovered.  All the resources you'll find in the Stevens Leadership community are focused on supporting you in this discovery.  Here you can:

• become more aligned with your core values

• leave behind guilt, fear, and regret to become a conscious creator and leader

• embrace new possibilities and explore your inner self

• shift your attitude and perspective to go further, faster

• make more conscious choices and trust your decision-making

External success alone leaves you empty, and in search of something more.  Here you’ll find a unique combination of tools, techniques, and insights to help you grow as a leader and create true success.
