“Follow Your Bliss”

For mythologist and scholar, Joseph Campbell, those words weren’t a feel-good mantra about perpetual pleasure and happiness.  They described true bliss—a purpose-driven state of authenticity and meaning, where we become the person we’re meant to be on a path uniquely meant for us. 

Inspired by Campbell’s deeper invitation, Worklife Bliss is our process to help you find, experience and sustain this joyous lockstep between who you are and what you do at work.  It’s based on our three “bliss principles” for letting your professional passion, gifts and contributions shine:

Principle #1:
Lead With Who You Are

Cast yourself as an inspiring, energizing, valuable character in a storyline that brings what’s most valuable about you to life—for yourself and for others.

Principle #2:
Be the Wheel, Not the Cog

Take the reins of your own motivational system—so you can rise up to your highest potential and free up your best self to get you there.

Principle #3: Let Your Being Guide Your Doing

Your passion, values, experiences and intention spring from the well of your being—and fuel purposeful, inspired, energized, successful doing action.

"A Revelation"

“The Worklife Reset process that Dana used to help guide me toward my authentic career story—highlighting my unique career character and story type—was a revelation. In the past, networking conversations felt like pushing a cheesy elevator speech. I now have the words, imagery, and confidence when talking with potential clients about the value I bring to customer partnerships, and it’s giving new energy to go after my career dreams.”

Clarifying

“Have you ever heard the country western lyrics “looking for love in all the wrong places?” Like Cinderella I’ve been trying to wear a caretaker’s shoe, when my story type (and career character) is really an explorer seeking new trails to blaze. This thought provoking system has helped me to develop authentic communications beyond my wildest expectations. Clarifying and identifying with my story type has broadened both the possibilities and potential for career and business growth.”
