I Am a… Who Am I Becoming?
Rediscover your values, strengths and motivators as you navigate your next chapter. You don't need your next move figured out.
Save my spotLife changes. Work changes. And sometimes the identity you've carried for years doesn't quite fit any more.
When so much of who we are is tied to what we do and how well we perform, change can shake more than our plans. It shakes our sense of self.
This workshop gives you space to pause, take stock, and decide on purpose who you want to be next.
If you've always been the capable one…
…and change has you wondering who you are now.
Six questions. One clearer you.
Where am I now?
What you're leaving behind, what feels uncertain, and what might be emerging. Not knowing yet is normal.
What has shaped me?
Three moments you felt most like yourself, and the strengths, values and drivers they reveal.
What matters to me now?
Your top three values, and whether they've changed for this chapter.
What energizes me?
The difference between what you're excellent at and what lights you up, and what drives you from within.
Who am I becoming?
Three parts: how you show up, what you carry forward, and who you're becoming.
What will I try?
One action, experiment or conversation. Not a big decision, just a step forward.
A leader stepping into a new role…
She's been promoted from top performer to leading the team she used to be part of. Her old identity, the expert with all the answers, no longer fits.
Values: trust, growth, fairness. Strengths: analysis, listening, bringing clarity. Motivators: developing others, solving problems together.
Her technical strength isn't lost. It becomes part of a bigger identity. Then the real question: what would a calm, analytical guide do differently in today's team meeting?
Your statement isn't a permanent label. It's a direction for this chapter, and it can change as your life does.
Clarity you can act on tomorrow
- A clear picture of the chapter you're in
- Your core values, as they are now
- Insight into your strengths, genius zone and motivators
- Your own "I am a…" statement
- One small next step, even if the bigger picture is unclear
- Your own participant guide to keep

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to explore what's next.

I know what it's like when your worth and your performance become the same thing
I pushed myself too hard for too long, and I know how unsettling it is when the identity you built starts to change. Since then I've left a career as a computer science professor and rebuilt my work around what I care about most.
Today I coach high achievers and leaders through career transitions and changes in identity. I help them find what drives them, and how to sustain high performance without losing themselves.
