What’s Next?
You’ve made your mark, there’s nothing left to prove. You still have some gas in the tank. You know some stuff. So where do you go from here?
“Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?”
— Mary Oliver
Why “Second Rodeo?"
Americans have a complicated relationship with work. According to Gallup’s State of the American Workplace, only 30 percent of us are fully engaged in our work. We have to constantly invent new phrases like “The Great Resignation” and “Quiet Quitting” to describe the chronic uneasiness we have with our jobs.
On the one hand, commencement speakers always tell us to “follow our passion.” On the other, parents and other authority figures insist that we get practical and pursue careers with high earning potential. With that contradictory advice we are expected to make the biggest decisions of our lives in our late teens and early twenties–when we are just barely starting to understand ourselves. Oh, and these decisions are supposed to last us a lifetime. No wonder so many of us wonder, Is this really all I can expect…for the rest of my working life?!
Second Rodeo exists to decrease our chronic dissatisfaction and increase our collective sense of significance, purpose, and accomplishment. We do this by:
Guiding individuals to identify their natural abilities and explore paths to a more meaningful career
Guiding companies to be more intentional in talent development and in the creation/implementation of smart succession plans
What we do
Executive Coaching
Every leader deserves a coach who can help them chart a path that’s healthier for their team, as well as for themselves.
Career Coaching
We utilize assessments (especially the Highlands Ability Battery), Investigative Life Planning, along with specialized personal coaching to help people discover who they are and how then to identify potential career paths that sync with their natural self and desired lifestyle.
Succession Planning
We help create individualized development plans designed to prepare high potential staff members to step into senior positions with confidence and effectiveness.
Retirement?
That’s fine for some. But you? You’ve still got this itch, an itch that all your success couldn’t scratch. You yearn to make a difference. Build a legacy. You’re looking for significance and meaning.
