Thirty years ago after a job loss, I sat at a desk with a stack of values cards in front of me and one instruction: sort them into the five values that felt like me. Not the ones that looked good. Not the ones I aspired to be. When I was done, I had my five core values in front of me...the real me. I got a new job, life moved on, but that moment never left me. It has stayed in my heart for 30 years. I tried to write a book about the experience numerous time. This year, I finally finished - with help from AI, to get the experience out of my head and onto the page, and for sale on Amazon! "Who Are You? Finding the WAY" is that book. And the book was just the beginning. I built the WAY Values app (free) so people can carry the card-sorting exercise in their hands. The values cards are available for download free on my website. I have published 60/90 minute, 3-day and 5-day workshop worksheets and a counselor's toolkit so middle school and high school teachers and counselors can easily do the exercise with kids. Now I'm tailoring the message to 5-7 year old kids in a series of picture books. I'm doing all of this at night and weekends, while raising my teenage son on my own AND working a full time in IT. Sharing this message isn't just a side hustle, it's my passion project. Knowing who you are is foundational to everything in your life, and I want everyone to know who they are.
