WHAT IS SUCCESS?

Success means different things to different people at different stages in their lives. It’s tempting to adopt society’s depiction of success, with its obsession for material possessions and impossible standards. However, you should have your own definition of success — for each facet of your life.

THE FOCUS ON PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS

As executive coaches and development professionals, we have worked with thousands of people around the globe to help enhance their success. Over the years, we began to see a disturbing trend emerge: most people tend to focus on just professional development. Their goals center on enhancing performance in the workplace with little attention to the other key areas of life. We found that this lack of attention to other areas of life was the main contributing factor to unhealthy lifestyles, leading to undesirable outcomes like:

Chronic health issues
Low energy
A sense of hopelessness
Broken relationships
Anxiety & stress
A lack of focus

Seeing this story play out repeatedly set us on a journey to find a better way. We wanted to find a solution to allow people to advance at work but still take care of those other facets of life.

THE LIFE IN BALANCE™ MODEL

The Life in Balance™ model is the result of that endeavor. Leveraging concepts from psychology, neurology, human performance, happiness, and habit formation, the system is a holistic approach that enables you to realize change in all areas of your life. It’s about setting targets and developing the routines necessary to not only achieve your goals but also to create sustainable patterns. Begin your journey toward greater balance, energy, and fulfillment by assessing your life against the six Life Success Facets and by defining what success looks like for you in each one.
