Closer than you think…

I do something that apparently only 38% of Americans do.
New Year’s resolutions.
In fact, I start working on mine every November. Reflecting, sorting, prioritizing—I love it.
Over the years, my resolutions have led to some real game-changers:
Taking a break from alcohol (six years and counting)
Quitting my corporate exec life (twice)
Writing a book
Hosting a podcast
Buying a company
And this year will be no different. I’m finally going to write book #2 and pursue a new passion project.
The theme? Midlifery.
My book, Closer Than You Think, is about not letting midlife malaise become a midlife crisis. I want to help people find purpose beyond the corner office, live fuller lives, and truly love what they do. More balance. Less drama.
I’m dedicating 50% of my focus to Midlifery, while the other 50% will continue to go toward the leadership development work I’m passionate about.
As part of this shift, I’ll be leaning in on a second weekly newsletter, One Step Closer, which is aligned with my upcoming book.
What I’m most excited about
I’m teaming up with clinical psychologist and coaching dynamo, Dr. Jeff Jennings. Jeff & I have been friends since junior high, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating.
Next year, we’ll host two in-person retreats for people who want to reclaim their lives & work. We will provide science-backed ways to help them align to their purpose and unleash what they were born to do!
Next month, I’ll be hosting Reset Your Compass—a virtual mastermind with four live Zoom sessions in December. Just like our retreats, this program is designed to help you align your life and work to your true purpose and set the stage for a balanced, fulfilling next chapter.
What I hope for
I’d be honored to have you join the newsletter. You can subscribe by following the link or just replying to this message.
If you’re wondering whether this is right for you, I’m targeting this content and coaching to people who want to:
Break free from work that feels uninspiring and start a path that excites you or…
Realign your career with your passions and strengths to live and work with purpose or…
Build a fulfilling “next chapter” that balances personal freedom and professional growth.
The newsletter comes out every Saturday, and this week’s edition will dive into the theme of resolutions with five powerful, science-backed insights for achieving life-changing goals.
I shared all of this because I hope you consider setting a resolution for yourself. Whether it’s how you’ll create more impact at work or how you’ll find purpose beyond it, being intentional about what you want most can dramatically change your life.
Your coach,
Chris
