When my boss asked why I wanted to be a commanding
officer one day, I answered:
โ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐โ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฝ.โ
And the moment I said it, I knew that answer wasnโt
good enough.
Thatโs when it hit me:
Iโd been following the ๐ด๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต.
I was doing what was expected, taking the next step,
without fully examining whether it aligned with what
mattered most to me.
And that lack of examination made it a ๐ณ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐.
That’s when I pivoted.
I got serious about revealing my purpose so that future
decisions would be intentional and flow from clarity.
Thatโs the work I now do with leaders through Blueprint coaching.
If youโre ready to escape the golden path fallacy,
Iโd love to connect.
