I was an executive leader at a non-profit. My job was stressful and draining and it was spilling over into my personal life. I knew it was time to move on but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do next or how to figure it out. I was struggling to find time to prioritize making a career change because my existing job was so consuming and we were in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was stuck. After: For the first time in my career I feel like I am in the driver’s seat. That feels strange to say as a 56-year-old man, but it’s true. I used to be more reactive, meaning that I would take the opportunities that came my way. Now I’m proactive about pursuing opportunities that are a good fit for me because I know what I want and I’m confident in the value that I bring. I got my dream job as Chief Advancement Officer for an organization that advances racial justice and equity in the outdoor and environmental movement. Given my love for nature and the outdoors, as well as my interest in both social justice and fundraising, it’s perfect.

Who is a good fit for this type of coaching?

Over the last 17 years, We’ve helped thousands of people take their careers to the next level. We’ve worked with damn near everyone. Founders of tech start-ups, C-level executives, directors of non-profits, entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, attorneys, creatives, physicians, and everyone in between.

The common thread among all of our clients is the desire to know what they are meant to do.

Our clients usually find themselves in one of the following situations (prior to coaching):

1. You’re feeling stagnant. It’s time to take your career to the next level.

 

You hit a plateau and you’re feeling a bit stuck. You’re not having the success you feel is possible. You don’t necessarily want to find a new career but something needs to change.

We can help you reinvent your work and take your career to the next level.

2. You have the feeling you’re meant for something bigger.

 

You want to love your work. You want to make a difference in the world. You have the drive, the problem is you can’t figure out what you really want to do.

We can help you find your true calling.

3. You want to become a better leader.

 

You work long and hard but you’re not getting the results you want. Your work is overwhelming and you aren’t as effective as you want to be. You want to improve your leadership abilities and learn how to inspire others.

We can help you become a more effective and inspiring leader.

Why purpose?

Discovering your purpose enables you to tap into your unique genius and use it to do your greatest work and live your best life. Your purpose is the deepest source of inspiration and guidance for your life and career. In other words, you’ll finally do the thing that you are meant to do and experience the success and fulfillment you’ve been dreaming about.

It doesn’t matter if you’re wondering what to do next or looking for inspiration to realize your fullest potential, your purpose is the way.

Adrian Klaphaak, Career and Life Purpose Coach

I’ve had a few genuine breakthroughs in my life, in which my life and career transformed into that which I had sensed was possible but couldn’t previously achieve.

The first was about my career. The second was about my health. Both breakthroughs were driven by listening to my deeper self and discovering my purpose.

My first breakthrough catapulted me out of a draining career in management consulting and inspired the creation of A Path That Fits. My second breakthrough led me from being in such constant back pain that I spent nearly half my waking life lying down to now trail running, surfing, gardening, backcountry snowboarding, and joyfully playing with my kids.

Connecting to my soul and purpose brought the clarity and empowerment that I needed to transcend my perceived limitations and walk my true path. I know its power through my own life experience and I’ve also seen this type of purpose coaching bring the same confidence, joy, and empowerment to thousands of clients. I want the same for you.

My purpose is to awaken your soul’s power and guide you onto your true path.

How long does it take?

It typically takes about 3-6 months to discover your purpose and create meaningful change in your career and life. We’ve had clients accelerate the process and make radical changes in 1 – 2 months. We’ve also had clients continue working with us for years (after the initial package of sessions) because they appreciate the ongoing accountability and support. We both celebrate when it’s time to conclude our work together and watch you take flight.
